Orlando has a new Visitor Toll Pass program and this is a game changer! The first of its kind in the US, Visitor Toll Pass customers just add their rental car license plate number in the app, hang it on the rental car rearview mirror and leave the airport ready for non-stop travel. At the end of their trip, customers simply return the toll pass to one of 14 return drop boxes located throughout Orlando's MCO airport. All tolls will be billed to the customer’s credit card associated with the pass with no additional fees or charges. Drivers always pay the lowest toll rate throughout Florida saving as much as 80% compared to rental car toll programs.

Travel agents provide great value, especially in tough times like travelling during a pandemic. If you use a travel agent, please be patient and recognize that they've likely be pummeled with cancellation requests of late (understandable of course). But with cancellations come LOTS of work - the upfront booking process and the eventual cancellation effort - and with that cancellation, zero commission. That means zero pay, despite all the work they did to help you. Please keep that in mind.
