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.

1. Re: sunpass in a rental car`. It varries from rental car company to company, some do not allow you to decline their program while others do...those that do allow you to decline WILL charge you a fee for doing so and then using a cashless toll. 2.

Some rental car companies do not charge per total day of rental but have cap at a certain level on the admin fee, then just charge the tolls.. 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.
I am returning the car in Miami about 4 days later. The Sunpass is $12 a day whether I use it or not. Otherwise, Avis says If you use the e-Toll service at any time during your rental, you agree to pay a convenience fee of $6 for each day on which you incur a toll. Thanks.
