Toll Pass

Question

I am planning on visiting Orlando in September and will be arriving at Terminal C where there is now a Toll Pass machine installed on level 4.

My question is, as I am renting my car from on off-airport site, is it possible to obtain my pass at the airport, then add the car's registration number etc later when I pick up the car?

Thanks for any response.

William.

Answer

Great question! If you're renting a car from an off-airport site but plan to pick up your toll pass at Orlando International Airport (MCO), here's what you need to know:

In Orlando, the toll pass system is typically handled through the SunPass system, which is the primary electronic tolling system for Florida. Since you mentioned you're arriving at Terminal C and there's a Toll Pass machine installed on Level 4, you can certainly pick up a SunPass at the airport, but the process works a little differently from what you're asking about.

Here’s what you should do:

Obtain the SunPass at the airport: Yes, you can get a SunPass at the toll machine in Terminal C, but you will not be able to directly link it to the rental car at that moment. The machine will issue you a pass, but you will need to register it online later.
Register the SunPass online: After picking up your rental car, you can register the SunPass on the SunPass website or through their mobile app. During registration, you will input the car's registration details and license plate number.
Linking to rental car: If you're using the SunPass for tolls, you can easily link it to the car once you have the vehicle's information. Many rental car companies also offer their own toll pass options, but if you've already obtained your own SunPass, you’ll want to make sure it’s properly linked for toll charges to be deducted automatically.

It’s important to note that if you're using a toll pass from the rental company, they might charge an additional fee, so it’s good to check the rental agreement for details on whether using your own SunPass will save you money.

In summary:

Yes, you can pick up a SunPass at the airport.
You will need to register the SunPass online once you have the car’s details, as the pass cannot be linked immediately to the car at the airport.
Make sure to check your rental car's toll policies, as some rental companies charge extra fees for their own toll systems.

Hope that clears things up for you, and have a great trip to Orlando!
