iflyrc5 Posted December 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2015 POA1 - I think you are a resident of FLL. Is I-95 in the Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood area a toll road? Are any of the major roads in the FLL area toll roads? We are coming in early for our cruise on the Oosterdam in Jan and renting a car and need to know if I should get the Sunpass module activated by the rental car agency. Thanks for your help.

DkswartzFamily Posted December 14, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 14, 2015 95 is free, turnpike is paid (and would use a sunpass) but runs pretty parallel to 95 in that area. You can probably also set your gps to avoid toll roads if you want : ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted December 14, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) The Florida Turnpike (FL SR 91) is a toll road as is the Sawgrass Expressway (FL SR 869) The FL stands for Florida. The SR stands for State Road. You might see the route numbers on a map, but the signage uses the names. The Fort Lauderdale area is mostly free of tolls other than those two roads. The Miami and Orlando areas have a lot more toll roads. As long as you don't need to go on the Turnpike, you should be fine.

Rare POA1 Posted December 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Another tip - if you are planning to park, there's an app called Park by Phone which allows you to pay for your parking with your smartphone. There's no cost for the app, but there is a 35 cent "convenience fee" each time you park. You get email receipts and text alerts when your parking is about to expire. https://paybyphone.com/ It's very convenient and you don't need to carry coins or worrying about feeding the meters. In addition to Fort Lauderdale, the app works for parking in: Anchorage Ann Arbor Aspen Boston (MBTA) Carolina Beach Cedar Rapids Chicago Coral Gables Croton-on-Hudson Dallas Fayetteville Galveston Greenwich Kansas City Lexington Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Medford Miami Milwaukee Minneapolis Naperville New Castle New Orleans New York City (Bronx) Oakland Redwood City Riverside Sacramento San Francisco Seattle South Miami St Paul Tempe Wilmington Wrightsville Beach New Canaan, CT Plymouth, MA And in Canada Burnaby Calgary Edmonton Kamloops London Nanaimo Ottawa Québec Regina Richmond Saskatoon Toronto TRois-Rivières (Québec) Whistler Winnipeg Vancouver It also works in the UK and France.
