We fly to Orlando on Saturday, staying at the Sheraton Vistana resort.

I've only ever been once before (2005) and took the lead from my sister-in-law and hubby back then as they owned a villa so took care of a lot of the tourity stuff.

I know they did away with cash toll booths in 2010 - what is the best way for us to deal with toll charges whilst on holiday?

Can we buy a pre-paid card in the airport?

Will the car hire company rip us off if we go with their option?

Cheers.

You can still use cash at all toll booths.

I remember our visit in 2008. Quickly ran out of quarters. Last toll booth before I4 was unmanned. Had no choice but to drive through.

All the normal tolls on the interstates still have cash booths, some of those leading off in between onto more minor roads don't though......

They ALL have the facility to accept cash - manned or otherwise. Alternatively some rental companies will supply a SunPass transponder and the tolls get added to your rental agreement. There are NO SunPass only exits - there is always the means to pay with coins.

Most have card swipe facilities, you don't need a pin you just swipe and go. The UK is decades behind.
