How to get a Florida SunPass
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Florida SunPass is a new and innovated method for traveling freely on Florida’s highways and toll roads without having the stop in long-lines and sometimes unsafe toll booths.
In the State of Florida there are two types of SunPass which are offered:
- Personal SunPass
- Commercial SunPass
How to get a Florida SunPass
Both may be purchased at stores like, Walgreens, CVS, Publix(s) and the Services Plaza(s) along the Florida Turnpike.
A SunPass retails for approximately $25 and can be activated by calling 1-888-865-5352 or by logging on to the web site www.sunpass.com and opening a pre-paid account with an initial balance of $25.
The device is designed to work once the account is setup and the transponder is attached to your windshield. After being attached to the windshield it will begin to transmit a radio signal to sensors mounted in the SunPass toll lanes. For each time you drive through the toll lanes a fee will be deducted from the account.
Violation of Florida Statute 316.1001:

Any person who violates or fail to comply with this statute may result in the assessment of a $100 or more civil penalty, three points assessed against your driver’s license, assessment of court costs, and suspension of your vehicle registration and/or suspension of your driver’s license.
