Eurotoll class 3 tag
Does anyone know how to register with Eurotoll for class 3 tag?
Their website asks for commercial details but obviously we have a motor home over 3 metres high but it doesn’t ask that.

If no one on here knows then an e mail to service.client@eurotoll.fr should get a response.

Just been discussing tolls for Class 3 via text/mail with our MH friends who have an Autotrail Scout, which is 3.03m high.
They have been advised by others to wing it, they have a sat dome on the roof,and just to say "Classes deux" if the automated system is saying that they are Class 3.
They are reluctant to do this but it seems that others are not.
They are travelling from La Pineda to meet us at Biscarossse in June and were they to go via the French Autoroutes the tolls would be €106....ouch!

The tag / transponder for those who do really need or want one for Class 3 or 4 vehicles is apparently called a TIS-PL. Google tells me that the Tolltickets company has them and also the French motorway operator called Alis, as well as the Eurotoll company already mentioned. But it seems that they are single country specific and don't yet work across the whole of Europe. Isn't Google amazing ?

Ive certainly advised this in the past and would do so again....
toll booths don't check weight....so a 4.25t van thats under 3m high 'should' pay the higher toll.....but won't.
however, if you registered for a tag and gave all the details incl weight then the tag would charge the higher rate.
thats an awful lot more to pay for a short delay at the booth.
on the other hand, I think booths do check height, so a light (under 3.5t) van that's over 3m high 'might' get charged the higher rate...but certainly would if using a tag and having pre declared the higher height.
for most who use the non tag lanes, any weight of van (not twin axle) and 'around' 3m would be class deux.
we don't have an issue n weight or height, but if I was close I certainly wouldn't 'give it away' ....or the extra cash.
good luck.....they can only say 'non'

I would also be inclined to wing it but, for a journey like this one, it means committing to that route from the off.
He would likely leave the Autoroute at Toulouse an head toward Roquefort but that is still expensive
His alternative, and the route that he is likely to take, is to head back across Spain to Huesca and then go via the Somport tunnel so reducing his toll costs to just the cost of the tunnel.
As you say getting a Tag would remove the option to try and get a Class 2 toll.
A few years ago I rang the club and asked for a price for an ITX package and gave my van height as 2.6m. The lady at the club pointed out that my actual height was 2.62, I had given my van make and model to them, and that I could be refused travel if this was noticed.
I decided to take the chance that a BF employee glancing at my van and comparing it to the height measure affixed to the check in booths would not spot this massive 20mm difference.

I would go Zaragosa, irun and then up the a63.
i don't know how to get ViaMichelin to show the jphigher rate tol, but for a car it's only €11 to Biscarrosee.....and toll free from La Pineda.
