Toll $ in florida pulling auto transport trailer w/ prius

Hello all,

I'm about to moving down to Miami in my Class A motorhome pulling an uhaul auto transport trailer with a prius on it. I have an EZPass on the Prius. I was reading where some though an ezpass worked in florida or did not work. What about the RV how much are tolls in Florida traveling from Alabama down to Miami? and is there a different fee for the trailer? Can you pay with a card or does it have to be cash? and would I be paying for both the RV and the Car? or the rv car and trailer? Have to ask that because we are traveling on PCS orders using the government travel card so need to know in advance.

Sorry for so many questions we didn't think about that until now with all the other things going on while trying to PCS down to Miami we totally forgot about this important bit of information.


Thanks in advance for your responses.

    The facts are that your setup is going to cost you big bucks! About the same as my tag axle and towed (5 axles). It really, really sucks and it's really unfair but it has been challenged and lost in numerous court battles.

    Here is a calculator for the turnpike:http: //floridasturnpike.com/TollCalcV5/index.htm

    Here is SunPass: https://www.sunpass.com/tollCalculator

    Hope it helps you on knowing the prices at least.

    If you want and you have time you can get a Sun Pass transponder that you can use on multiple vehicles. Order it online, and I think it is a week or so delivery. You preload funds on it, can link to your debit/credit card if you want. If you drive with the Class A and trailer, it will automatically deduct the right amount, based on the number of axles. You don't have to have one for each. The portable transponder can be used with any vehicle.

    Count the number of axles of the combined vehicles and that's what you pay. You will be charged like a tractor-trailer. Get the SunPass (or whatever) but you must get it for the combination and not just one or the other. Not sure where you are moving from but it does not sound like FL. If that's true then you EZ Pass will not work either when you get where you are going and want to drive the toll roads in your Prius.
    This might help:

    You pay for the motorhome and the trailer. Most toll plazas are Sunpass or toll by plate, they send you a bill in the mail. There is an additional fee for toll by plate. You can go to the Sunpass website. Enter the vehicle and trailer info then map your route. It will show the tolls for your route. Not sure if Ezpass is recognized in Fl but that should also be on the Sunpass site.
