Florida turnpike toll bonds.
From $100.
The security bond the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) requires to open a SunPass Fleet Postpaid account, the postpaid toll account for fleets that buy at least 101 transponders. FDOT does not publish the amount, so get it from SunPass when you apply; pricing is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

At the standard amounts the application collects no credit information, so there is no waiting on that front — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Send it to SunPass

What it is and who needs it.
What the turnpike toll bond actually covers
Florida's Turnpike was originally named the Sunshine State Parkway and was renamed in 1968; our carrier still uses the old name for this bond. The bond itself belongs to FDOT's statewide SunPass program, which covers the Turnpike and other Florida toll roads. The SunPass Customer Agreement requires a bond, and a current FEIN, to open a Fleet Postpaid account; a postpaid fleet application also needs a minimum purchase of 101 transponders. For rental-car and intermediary service provider postpaid accounts, the Agreement says a bond may be required.
The bond stands behind the tolls billed to the postpaid account: if the account holder fails to pay tolls owed, FDOT can recover against the bond. FDOT does not publish the amount, a bond form or a term, so get them from SunPass when you apply.
This is a contractual / account-specific guarantee, not a broad statewide license mandate. Whether you need one depends on the account type: required for Fleet Postpaid, possible for rental-car and intermediary postpaid accounts, and not mentioned for prepaid or government accounts. Confirm the amount with SunPass; pricing starts from $100 and your exact price appears at the application.
