What is FDOT Toll-By-Plate?

A charge reading 'FDOT TOLL BY PLATE' or similar is generated by Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise for vehicles that passed through a toll facility without an active SunPass or E-PASS transponder.

Cameras capture the vehicle’s license plate, and an invoice is subsequently mailed to the registered owner. The charge on your statement reflects the payment of this mailed invoice online or by phone.

Rental Cars and Tolls

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.

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.

  1. Review the Invoice 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.
  2. Prevent Future Invoices 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.
