Not sure it's physically possible for S. FL to install more toll booths.

You have it all wrong. These folks are freedom loving Americans being strongarmed by the government with regulation. Why not just let the free market take care of this rather than burdensome regulations written by some bureaucrat?

Welcome to South Florida....Toll booths cost $, especially manned ones, but you could place electronic readers every quarter mile or so, and go boothless......
The same scanners could charge tolls by the mile, write speeding or other moving violation tickets, and even ticket for inspection and expired tags...

We get our hineys spanked. I TRIED to pay those Florida tolls but it was like the toll booths were dodging me, i paid the big invoice that came in the mail.What do people who drive their own car from out of state do?
They have to use one of the less convenient "old style" booth or get a bill in the mail. Renting a transponder is just a scam executed by the auto rental companies. Transponders cost $5 to purchase outright and are sold on regular shelves at convenience and grocery stores across the state. I have even seen them in vending machines at rest stops along the interstate. Most 'toll booths' are being converted to a system where a video camera takes a photo of your license plate. I don't think the transponders get used at all in those newer booths. The best part is you don't even have to slow down for the new system, I can confirm it works just fine at 90mph.We are clearly getting off topic and for that, I apologize. I have less of a problem with the tolls as I do with the fact that I have to rent a transponder to pay the tolls when I rent a car. What do people who drive their own car from out of state do?
Call them with a tag number when you pick up the car. Just do it before you leave. BUT... and it's a big BUT... change the tag after you return the car or truck or you'll be paying for their tolls till you do.You have to let them know ahead of time the plate number so you don't get a weird bill. Like when I need a U-haul.
Please. If they read that they might take it as a challenge.Not sure it's physically possible for S. FL to install more toll booths.
I have moved mine to a friends car before without updating the license plate in the system. As far as I could tell, nothing weird happened. They deducted the toll fee from my sunpass account. Might have been a different story if it was one of those camera based toll booths, it was an rf based sunpass booth for the sunshine skyway bridge.I have sun passes in each car, and the heavy one that changes cars for when I need to rent something.
