This. We have just come back from a 2 week holiday in Nice and we drove down. These Tags save a lot of time, hassle and messing about. They also have dedicated lanes at the toll that you can drive through at 30kph so we didn't even have to come to a stop at the tolls

Cost from Calais to Nice was €110

Sorry for continuing the thread hijack, but do they charge a premium?

IIRC, €2 per month for every month you use it. So if you only use it for 2 months out of 12, then it's €4! You also pay a reduced rate on the tolls.

Depending how you feel about cycling, either go to watch the Tour de France or find a route that avoids it. It starts on 29th June and lasts 3 weeks.

I tend to head for the Alps when doing a driving trip in France, so Day 1 is usually a big day getting from Folkestone area to Geneva area by autoroute then spend a few days in the French/Swiss/Italian Alps and/or the Route Napoleon before heading back.

No you don't. They have a UK set-up now. Direct debit to any UK bank account.

Sanef have a UK office and I've just got a tag linked to my Barclays UK account https://www.saneftolling.co.uk/login_form?came_fro...
