SunPass phone numbers and what each line handles

SunPass is Florida's toll collection system, run by the Florida Department of Transportation. The main customer service line is 1-888-SUNPASS (1-888-786-7277), available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time. This number handles account questions, transponder issues, and billing problems for most drivers.

If you are calling about a specific toll violation or toll notice you received in the mail, that same number can direct you to the right department. Have your account number or the notice number ready when you call — it speeds up the process.

SunPass also operates a separate line for commercial accounts and fleet customers: 1-888-865-8627. If your vehicle is registered as a commercial or fleet account, use this number instead of the main line.

What to have ready before you call

SunPass representatives can work faster if you gather information before dialing. Have your account number (found on your bill or in the SunPass online portal), your transponder number (the small device on your windshield), or the toll notice number if you are calling about a violation.

If you are calling about a vehicle registration change, have your vehicle identification number (VIN) and current license plate number. If you are reporting a lost or damaged transponder, know whether you need a replacement sent to your address or picked up at a SunPass customer service center.

Common reasons to call SunPass

Most drivers call SunPass to report a transponder that is not working, to update their payment method, or to dispute a toll charge. If your transponder is beeping or not registering tolls, the representative can troubleshoot over the phone or arrange a replacement.

You may also call to add a vehicle to your account, remove a vehicle, or change the vehicle linked to your transponder. If you received a toll notice for a toll you believe you should not have been charged, the phone line can start an investigation, though you may need to submit photos or other evidence by mail or through the online portal.

Account balance questions, payment plan requests, and questions about how tolls are calculated are also handled by phone. If you are moving out of Florida or no longer need your account, you can request closure over the phone, though you may need to return your transponder by mail.

SunPass online portal as an alternative

For many routine tasks, the SunPass website and mobile app are faster than calling. You can log into your account at www.sunpass.com to view your balance, update your payment method, check your toll history, and report a lost transponder without waiting on hold.

The online portal is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you do not have an online account yet, you can create one using your account number and the email address on file. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices.

What to do if you cannot reach SunPass by phone

If the main line is busy or you are calling outside business hours, try the online portal or wait until the next business day. SunPass does not offer email support for urgent issues, but you can submit a general inquiry through the website contact form, which typically receives a response within one to two business days.

If you have a toll violation notice with a important date, do not wait to call. The notice will include a due date for payment or a response. Calling during the first few days after you receive the notice gives you the most time to resolve the issue before the important date passes.

SunPass customer service centers in Florida

If you prefer to handle your account in person, SunPass operates customer service centers at several locations across Florida. These centers can issue replacement transponders on the spot, process account changes, and answer questions face-to-face. Locations include centers in Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville, and other major cities.

Hours vary by location, but most are open Monday through Friday during standard business hours. You can find the address and hours of the center nearest you on the SunPass website. Visiting in person can be faster than calling if you need a transponder replaced the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I reach SunPass on weekends?

No. The main customer service line operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time only. On weekends and after 6 p.m. on weekdays, use the online portal at www.sunpass.com or visit a customer service center during its operating hours.

What if I do not know my account number?

Have your license plate number or the phone number associated with your account ready. The representative can look up your account using either piece of information. If you have a toll notice, the account number is printed on it.

How long does it take to get a replacement transponder by mail?

SunPass typically ships replacement transponders within three to five business days of your request. You can request expedited shipping through the online portal or by phone, though expedited orders may carry a fee. In-person pickup at a customer service center is the fastest option if you need it the same day.

Can I dispute a toll charge over the phone?

Yes, you can report a disputed charge when you call, and the representative will start an investigation. However, you may need to submit supporting evidence such as photos, receipts, or documentation by mail or through the online portal. The investigation typically takes two to four weeks.

What happens if I do not pay a toll notice?

If you ignore a toll notice, SunPass can refer the debt to a collection agency, which will appear on your credit report. You may also face penalties and additional fees. Call the number on your notice or the main SunPass line to discuss payment options or dispute the charge before the important date.
