Driving alone in France (Toll question)
Discussion
Hi All,
I'm driving through France late August on my own - all the way from Calais to Ceret (close to Spanish border near Perpignan).
What are the difficulties involved in paying tolls alone? Are there certain booths that cater for RHD cars i.e. window on other side? or is it simply a case of jumping out and paying on foot every time? If so, is it a case of physically stopping before the booth or actually at the barrier? I ask because I dropped a 20p at the M6 toll recently and the kerbs there don't actually allow you to open the door of your car so the chap at the barrier just told me to leave it and that he'd get it at the end of his shift.
I've looked at the Vinci passes but roughly translating the website into English, looks like it's only for those with French bank accounts which we've not got.
Any help appreciated.
