prettybrowneyes Posted April 30, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2011 We plan to drive from GA to Ft. Lauderdale in 2 weeks. Are there any tolls that we should prepare for? We have sailed out of Miami, but took and charter bus and slept all the way there. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e150club Posted May 1, 2011 #2 Share Posted May 1, 2011 You should go to the East coast departures board and ask this ?. Interstate roads are toll free except for bridges and tunnels. From Ga. to Ft. L. I belive are bridge and tunnel free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anjanu Posted May 1, 2011 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hi! I'm from Savannah, GA also. There aren't any tolls between GA and Florida border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tef43 Posted May 1, 2011 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Interstate roads are toll free except for bridges and tunnels.Not true nationwide, but in terms of the OP's original question, yes. OP, you will encounter no tolls on I-95 from GA to Ft Lauderdale, and none from the highway exit to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 80 to Cal. toll free. What Interstate roads have tolls. Just asking, not for an argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted May 1, 2011 #7 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I drive it myself, just stay on I95 all the way and no tolls. There is a toll road to the west, (out of your way to drive west to me and then back to the port from the west... not worth taking unless there is a big accident on I95. Iv driven it quite a few times. I used to live in Boca Raton, about 30 minutes north of Port Everglades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfadj Posted May 1, 2011 #11 Share Posted May 1, 2011 The Florida Turnpike runs parallel to I 95 for the last 200 miles or so and if you like tolls you can use it but never saw the point. Only advantage is less exits and entrances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted May 1, 2011 #12 Share Posted May 1, 2011 And I 77 W Va Turnpike has 3 tolls and no bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted May 1, 2011 #13 Share Posted May 1, 2011 And now that I think of it I 95 has them in Md and Deleware with the Delaware a huge ripoff of 4 bucks for about 10 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjrice1 Posted May 1, 2011 #14 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I live right off of I-95 and gone to Port Everglades several times. 95-S all the way.. no tolls. Easy on and easy off. Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SATXLady Posted May 1, 2011 #15 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I-44 in Oklahoma has tolls. (I think I-35 does too but it's been over 30 years since I took it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Posted May 1, 2011 #16 Share Posted May 1, 2011 If you had to take I-75, just past Ocala, Fl. you will veer left off I-75 on to the Florida turnpike and will pay a toll shortly. There are a couple of tolls until Orlando. I think about $3.50 total. After Orlando is where you start paying more. You can take 528 over to I-95 and miss the tolls after that. Total tolls are around $15.00 all the way to Ft. Lauderdale. From Savannah though I-95 has no tolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthworm Jim Posted May 2, 2011 #17 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I've driven from NY to Fla many times. Only bridges and tunnels have tolls. I 80 to Cal. toll free. What Interstate roads have tolls. Just asking, not for an argument. You said I-87 as one in a later post, but it's all of the New York State Thruway, both the I-87 and I-90 portions. The New Jersey Turnpike is I-95 and that also has tolls, and you might well have taken that route on your way to Florida. The Pennsylvania Turnpike is I-76, I-476, and I-276 and it has tolls as well. I-80/I-90 in Ohio and Indiana, I-90 and I-88 in part of Illinois are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this out the N.J.T. south of exit #7 is not I-95. I-95 is in Pa. I take I-195 to I-295 and pay less then $3.00 in tolls for three exits on the NJT. and no tolls on the interstate thats where my bad info started. And their is less traffic on I-295. Its a good ride.

Only advantage is less exits and entrances. The Florida Turnpike is much more pleasant than I-95. We'll jump over to it if going to the keys.
