How To Get a SunPass

By , About.com Guide

Tired of waiting in line at toll booths in Dade County? You're not alone! You, too can obtain a SunPass and fly through the fast lane of the Dolphin Expressway, Florida Turnpike and other toll bottlenecks. You'll save money to boot! SunPass users actually pay less for tolls than those who get the "privilege" of waiting in line!
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 30 minutes

Here's How:

  1. Decide where you're going to obtain your sunpass. If you can wait, you can purchase it online at http://www.sunpass.com/. You may also mail order one by calling 1-888-TOLL-FLA.
  2. If you can't wait and need one right away, you may purchase a SunPass at any service center located on Florida's Turnpike.
  3. If you want one before you even get on the Turnpike, you may purchase one at any Florida CVS or Publix store.
  4. If you purchased your SunPass at a retail location, you'll need to activate it before use at https://www.sunpasssecure.com/retail_account_agreement.cfm.

Tips:

  1. SunPass users get discounts on tolls! Check the most recent discount offers at http://www.sunpass.com/discounts.cfm.
  2. Remember to replenish your SunPass to avoid running out of money at the toll booth and risking a fine. You can set up automatic replenishment for your account if you prefer.
