Driving In France - Autoroute Télépéage

[LexusRex]

Driving in France on the Autoroutes I have envied the drivers who whip through the 'T' channel while the rest of us queue at the booths. I finally got round to researching this and ordered the electronic Telepeage 'black box' on line from Sanef at

Sanef Liber-T application

It works like the Dart-Tag on the Dartford tunnel and costs 2.00€ a month for each month it is used and there is a 30.00€ returnable deposit. You also pay 5.00€ postage. The form is in French but I found it fairly easy to deal with - Google language tools helped me with a couple of bits. Buying online you provide your credit card details and the tolls are debited from your credit card account every month with the 2.00€ admin fee. I reckon a couple of Euros a month is worth it to save time queuing.

Hi LexusRex - Read your post last week and thought it was too good to be true. As you, I have often looked at those T channels & thought it would either be cost-prohibitive or impossible for non residents. Really thought you had it wrong on "2 euro a month for each month it is used" and felt it had to be at least 24 euro per annum. But I did a little research online & it is true!

So I ordered it from Sanef last Tues and my new 'MiniBadge' tolltag arrived this Monday. Great service! Roll on the end of June and les Autoroutes libre! Many thanks.

They are really good. I got one last year for trip to St. Tropez and sailed through every toll.

Its best to position it high up behind the rear view mirror. After a few attempts you can gudge you speed perfectly and not even stop your wheel turning!

Thanks Guys.

I ordered my unit and it is finally here - roll on A20 to the South of France!
