Yes, you can still use the toll roads in Florida even if you do not have a SunPass transponder. Some toll roads offer cash payment and Toll by Plate options, but not all of them do. It's important to keep track of the accepted payment methods for each toll road if you do not have a SunPass.
6. What Happens If I Fail to Pay My Florida Toll?
Most toll roads in Florida accept some form of electronic payment, making it easy to avoid driving through a toll booth. However, if you miss a toll road payment, you'll be charged the toll fee and an additional administration fee for each violation.
