Travelers flying into Orlando International Airport (MCO) often find themselves navigating Central Florida’s extensive toll road system, especially when visiting popular destinations like Walt Disney World Resort. The recent introduction of Visitor Toll Pass transponder machines in all MCO terminals simplifies this process and offers a cost-effective solution for rental car users.
Availability of Toll Transponder Pass Machines
The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) has now installed kiosk machines in all terminals at MCO, specifically in the car rental areas. This initiative presents a more affordable alternative to the rental car toll transponders, which usually range from $5 to $10 per day. These Visitor Toll Pass transponders are free and temporarily available for rental car customers making round trips from the airport.
Benefits of Using Visitor Toll Pass
The Visitor Toll Pass from CFX offers significant savings, allowing drivers to pay the lowest toll rates throughout Florida without hidden or additional fees. Compared to the rental car companies’ transponders, users can save up to 80%.
Reservations for the pass can be made easily through the free Visitor Toll Pass app, available on Google Play and the iOS App Store. The app guides users through the process of providing trip and rental car details and linking a credit card. Users can also enable notifications to receive updates on their trips and toll activities.
How to Use the Toll Transponder
Travelers can collect their toll pass at the physical kiosk locations in MCO’s terminals. To use the Visitor Toll Pass, renters need to decline the rental car company’s toll program, add their rental car license plate number in the app, and hang the transponder on the car’s rearview mirror. This setup ensures travelers are ready to navigate the toll roads efficiently.
Upon the trip’s conclusion, visitors can return the toll transponder to one of the 14 drop boxes located throughout MCO. All toll charges will be billed to the credit card linked in the app.
Ideal for Disney Vacation Club Members and Visitors
This toll pass solution is beneficial not only for visitors heading to Walt Disney World Resort or Universal Orlando Resort but also for family and friends who need to rent vehicles when visiting Orlando. By simplifying toll payments and reducing costs, the Visitor Toll Pass enhances the overall travel experience.
Conclusion
The installation of Visitor Toll Pass transponder machines at all MCO terminals marks a significant improvement for travelers navigating Central Florida’s toll roads. With easy access and considerable savings, this initiative provides a practical solution for rental car users, ensuring a smoother and more economical journey.
