The rental car uses one of two methods for paying for the tolls. 1. It may have a transponder attached to the windscreen and this has an on/off switch ... make sure it is off. 2. They may use a toll-by-plate method to pay for the tolls. If there isn't a transponder then the toll-by-plate method is used.

Although the sticker is only $5, you may or may not get it off the windshield. The portable transponder with the suction cups is going to cost more than the $19.75 maximum admin fees charged by rental's toll program. If you plan on returning to Florida, I would get a portable transponder.

Alamo and its associates are one of these, as are Avis,and Hertz, and IMO saving a few $'s by buying your own Sunpass etc. in the overall picture of things ( flights, accommodation, entertainment) isn't worth the hassle.
