The short answer

What is FDOT Toll-By-Plate?
Unreviewed registry note: A statement line displaying FDOT TOLL BY PLATE indicates a toll collection charge administered by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, an operational unit of the Florida Department of Transportation. The Florida Toll-By-Plate program handles electronic highway billing across turnpikes, expressways, and bridges throughout Florida when a passing vehicle does not have an active SunPass, E-PASS, or compatible transponder. High-speed overhead cameras photograph the vehicle license plate to generate an invoice.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears after a driver pays an outstanding mailed toll invoice online via sunpass.com or over the phone. Visitors driving rental vehicles through rental agencies like Alamo or Avis often trigger these toll fees automatically. In many car rental scenarios, the rental company registers the toll through the state system and bills the renter card directly, sometimes adding separate administrative convenience fees. In other cases, drivers settle an overdue toll invoice directly with the state to clear their vehicle registration record.
Unreviewed registry note: To review the specifics of this charge, visit the official SunPass portal at sunpass.com and look up your invoice using your license plate number and state of registration. The portal shows the exact plaza location, time of day, and photographic proof of the vehicle crossing the toll point. If you do not own the vehicle listed or were not traveling in Florida on that date, contact Florida's Turnpike Enterprise customer support to contest the invoice before contacting your credit card provider.
Rental Cars and Tolls
Unreviewed registry note: If you were driving a rental car in Florida, the rental company often receives the toll bill and passes the cost on to you, sometimes with an added administrative fee.
Unreviewed registry note: Check your rental agreement or the rental car company's toll receipt portal if the dates and amounts do not strictly align with your travel days.
- Review the Invoice Unreviewed registry note: Visit the official SunPass Toll-By-Plate payment portal (sunpass.com) and enter the invoice number or your license plate to see the date and location of the toll.
- Prevent Future Invoices Unreviewed registry note: Purchasing a prepaid SunPass or using a compatible transponder (like E-PASS or E-ZPass) generally provides a discounted toll rate and avoids the administrative fees associated with Toll-By-Plate.
