E-ZPass for Canadians: Everything You Need to Know for Your Disney Road Trip
Planning a road trip from Canada to Disney? Learn how E-ZPass works for Canadians, where to get one, and tips for breezing through tolls on your way to Florida.
Welcome back, Disney-loving besties! My name is Lisa, and I’m best known as Lisa on Main Street. As a Montreal native, I’ve driven down to Walt Disney World more times than I can count, and I know firsthand just how magical a Disney road trip can be.
But let’s be honest: long drives from Quebec or Ontario to Florida can get a little stressful, especially when it comes to tolls. That’s where the E-ZPass for Canadians comes in!
If you’re planning your next road trip to Disney and wondering how tolls work once you cross the border, I’ve got you covered.
What is E-ZPass?
E-ZPass is an electronic toll collection system that lets you breeze through toll booths without fumbling for cash or coins. Instead, you attach a small transponder to your windshield, and as you drive through toll plazas, the system automatically charges your account.
It’s accepted across 20 states (you can see where to use it on this map), which makes it incredibly useful if you’re driving from Quebec or Ontario all the way down the East Coast to Florida.
How Can a Canadian Order an EZ-Pass
Many state that Canadians should order an EZ-Pass from the state that they’re closest too. Most Canadians order theirs from New York, and have had no issues getting it shipped to their address.

Why Canadians Driving to Disney Should Get an E-ZPass
If you’re starting in Quebec or Ontario, your drive to Walt Disney World will take you through several toll-heavy states:
- New York
- New Jersey
- Delaware
- Virginia
- North Carolina (depending on your route)
- Florida
Without E-ZPass, you’ll need to stop at each toll booth, which adds time and stress to your drive. With E-ZPass, you simply drive through, and the system automatically deducts the tolls. It’s faster, easier, and saves you from needing tons of small bills or coins.
E-ZPass vs. SunPass in Florida
You might have also heard of SunPass, Florida’s toll system. The great news is that E-ZPass and SunPass are now compatible, which means you can use your E-ZPass for Florida toll roads too. No need to worry about buying a separate pass just for the Sunshine State.
If you’re a Canadian family road-tripping from Quebec or Ontario to Walt Disney World, an E-ZPass for Canadians is absolutely worth it. It saves you time, stress, and hassle on a long drive where you’ll already be managing so much. Plus, with compatibility in Florida, it covers your whole route from start to finish.
