The “TOLL-BY-PLATE” program allows you to call in, register for a TOLL-BY-Plate” account and pay the tolls before an invoice will be issued. Payments can be made by cash, credit/debit card on-line or through new payment kiosks located at major retail stores.
Regardless, which option you may choose, it will be important to inform your Road Bear RV drop-off location of the fact that you traveled on the Florida Turnpike.
