    How about ... Does I-pass or EZ pass cover most states? Either/or?

    No. Sun pass covers Florida and that is it. EZPass doesn't cover Florida. It covers Maine, NH, Mass, NY, NJ, PA, WV, MD, VA, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.

    Lol. EZPass takes care of most toll states with the exception of Florida, Oklahoma and Kansas. Oklahoma has the PikePass and Kansas the K-Tag, but I've heard they are interchangeable now. The EZpass is the one to get. But beware that you have to have a certain $$ amount in the account/ your bank account and MAKE ABSOLUTLEY SURE that you do the posted speed limit going through the toll lanes because they will suspend the account, they've done it before.

    By the way, EZpass and PrePass have a unit that takes care of tolls AND you can bypass scales that are on the PrePass network with. It works everywhere PrePass is accepted, all the way to Cali.

    The combined ezpass/prepass unit is called prepass plus, but you need to have a fleet of at least 3 to qualify.

    Bestpass is what I use -- it combines ezpass, prepass, norpass, ncpass, California fasttrak (SF bridges only), ks tag, ontario etr, the colorado toll road etc. Supposed to add florida sunpass, ok pikepass, & tx tag this year

    ...and do you mean you must have a fleet of 3 to purchase any of the passes or is it not worth the bother ... Just pay as he goes for now??? Like I said.. Just checking out some questions before he takes the big plunge. Hasn't sealed the deal yet. But we have a pretty good offer and praying for guidance and so far so good! 🙏
