Default Florida Turnpike

Going to Miami from West Kentucky after our new boat, how is the Florida Turnpike that goes from 75 to north Miami or would I75 to I10 to I95 a better route?

Turnpike. Runs at angle. Saves much time. Worth toll money. Lol

Get a Sun Pass www.sunpass.com before you go if you have time - a fairly cheap investment and well worth the toll booth waits or wondering if you'll get a ticket in the toll by plate sections.

We live in Miami, use the Turnpike as much as possible when we tow our Donzi. Roads are in better condition, less traffic and faster route. Do try to purchase a SunPass before you come down, it will save you a lot of time at the tolls. If you have any additional questions, let me know, glad to help.

Thanks everyone, I will look into purchasing the SunPass we have a couple weeks before the journey!

1) What did you buy Jim?
2) Definitely use the Turnpike, but watch out at the booths. I have seen some horrendous accidents at the booths.
3) https://www.sunpass.com/selectAccept...sponder.action
I have the sticker one, and I installed with Scotch-Tape to the windshield and it works fine.

Thank you sir! I'm buying a straight bottom 38 Top Gun as long as the survey comes back good. BTW I sent you a message awhile back on FB, not sure if you use messenger not.

Very true, this might be the greatest reason to use the turnpike, no need to worry about getting in and out of the gas stations.

Very true. As a matter of fact, we've slept in them before in the GF's camper before.
