Sanef

All the French motorway companies sell them and this one from Sanef has dearer operating costs than some of the others, but if you would find it useful then go ahead and get one. It won't break the bank. Many of us have had one of these tags from one company  or another for years.

Used mine for the first time earlier in the year. Makes life much easier.

I wouldn’t be without it now, even without the free tag. Just so easy and some tolls have a tag recognition that you done even have to stop - just slow down to 30km an hour.

YES go for it. You can always send it back if you don’t get on with it.

As others say, fantastic.

Rufs, a tag for French motorways from the ATMB company will cost you an initial 11 euros plus 4 euros postage. Thereafter you pay normal tolls plus1.90 euros for any month when the tag is in use. The charges go to your UK bank credit or debit card - ideally one without conversion charges. 

We have had one for years and I think we got ours via a deal with Eurotunnel which was similar to the offer by the Club. They are certainly convenient especially now that many toll booths are automatic. As to cost the difference is quite small between the different types and the convenience of Sanef is that they have a UK based account page. It can only be paid for by direct debit. Whatever tag you get it will be worthwhile.

thanks the input folks, am i right in assuming that if you are touring france and spain then you need one for each country ???tks

ok see it now was being a bit thick , yes i do need 2

We've had a SANEF Tag for a number of years and it makes life a lot easier especially when you are towing.  It is sometimes a little more difficult to get close to the payment booth/basket/machine when you are towing as the Caravan is a little wider than the car, so a Tag is useful.

If the ATMB Tag works out cheaper, it may very well be worth considering, but as I have the SANEF tag, I doubt if I will change it for the sake of a few Euros.

I would doubt that the ATMB tag would work out any cheaper once the cost of paying for the tag is taken into account.  I got an atmb tag earlier this year just before the sanef deal was announced. I think the advantage of the atmb tag is the toll goes directly onto my fee free credit card in € not at the generally poor exchange rate that occurs if you let the vendor do the conversion.  I doubt the savings I will make will be greater than the cost of the tag in the first place.   However in my opinion having a tag whichever one you choose does make life easier when towing.
