    Hi Karen,

    Sorry about the delay, have been away, but I am surprised no one has responded yet.

    I have had one for a few years and would be lost without it, well, my wife would be.    Saves a lot on time and hassle.   There is another string on here with lots of advice.    Do a search on Toll Tag.    Also, have a look at the SANEF.co.uk web site.    This is in Harrogate and all English speaking.    I have a direct debit which takes the toll money at the end of the following month, no hassle, bill always correct.   There are separate tags for France and Spain/Portugal.    You can get your initial tag for free via offers with either The Cub or Eurotunnel.   After that there is a €20 deposit, refundable on return.   The first 2 months that you use it each year you have an admin charge of €6 pm.  Only 2 months annually.    Well worth it.     Others on here will tell you that you can get a better deal direct with the toll companies in France, that’s your choice.

    If you need any further advice please come back with any specific questions and I will try to help.

    ATMB generally offer better deals than SANEF but you need to look out for them. We pay a very small amount for each month that we use it - no other charges. Very useful if you have a motorhome and short arms! The best part is the automatic barriers on busier routes where you can drive through at 30 kph.

    We have the ATMB version. Excellent, easy to use, straightforward billing to credit card.
