Vehicle Pickup and Return

Clients cannot pick up the vehicle the day they arrive from overseas or trans-continental and we recommend spending the first night at an airport hotel or motel.

Vehicle pick up time is between 12.00 noon and 4.00 pm. To avoid waiting times all customers are asked to call the branch to schedule the pick-up time. Vehicle return time is between 8.00 am and 10.30 am. A charge of USD 30.00/hour applies for a late vehicle return. Clients will not be entitled to get a complimentary transfer back to the airport or airport hotels after 11 am.

A priority shuttle service scheduling will be granted to customers that have supplied the pick-up hotel information at least 72 hours in advance. To avoid waiting times and/or to confirm shuttle service all international customers shall call the rental station immediately upon arrival but no later than between 8 am and 9 am of the departure day to schedule the pick-up time.

Transfer hours are between 11 am and 1 pm and vehicle pick-up time is between 12 pm and 4 pm. Drop-off time is between 8 am and 10.30 am.

Toll Road System in Florida

Starting 19 February 2011 the Florida Turnpike Enterprise will be implementing an all-electronic open road tolling. This will be in the beginning on the southern 47 miles stretch of the Turnpike, from US1 in Florida City to the Miami-Dade/Broward County line. The old tollbooths will be eliminated and the toll-fees cannot be paid in cash any longer.

There are the following options for payment to travel on the Turnpike:

  1. Contact the SunPass Customer Service Center by calling 1-888-865-5352 or visit them online at www.SunPass.com. Their representatives will provide information on how to obtain a “SunPass” transponder during the rental period. The transponder will allow traveling on toll roads by paying money into the personal SunPass account.
    Customers picking up in MCO may rent a transponder at the branch for USD 6.00/night (max. USD 126.00 per booking).
  2. To travel on the Turnpike the “TOLL-BY-PLATE” program can be used as an alternative. This program captures an image of the vehicle license plate and bills the registered owner of the vehicle for the toll amount. The “TOLL-BY-PLATE” program allows the customer to call in to register for a “TOLL-BY-PLATE” account and to pay for 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.

Florida State Law (Statue 316.1001) requires payment of prescribed tolls for the usage of toll facilities. Failure to comply with this statute may result in the assessment of a USD 100.00 or more civil penalty, assessment of court costs, and suspension of the vehicle registration and/or suspension of the driver's license. It will be important for the customer to inform the Road Bear RV drop-off location of the fact that they traveled on the Florida Turnpike regardless of what option they choose. In case that an invoice for toll fees will be sent to Road Bear RV as the registered owner of the vehicle, all charges due will be charged to the customer’s credit card on file and processed according to our rental provisions with regards to traffic citations (incl. administrative fees).
