French & Italian Toll Passes?

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by blufoot, Jul 12, 2013.

  1. Do any of you knowledgable chaps know if there is an official box I can buy for paying tolls as I drive a car through France and Italy?

    I don't mind if I have to buy one for each country but I had a look online and most of the websites I found looked a bit scammy so thought I'd seek advice from more experienced Euro travellers.

    I reiterate, this is for the car not the bike.

    Thanks in advance
     
  2. Hi,
    Regarding Italy, you can buy a "Telepass" ( Telepass.it: - Home page) only if you have a current bank account in Italy.
    The other option is to buy a prepaid card ( Viacard) that you can use on any toll station in Italy.
     
  3. Cheers G&T, I found a site for the French one so that's a great help. Shame about the bank account bit tho
     
  4. I recently booked a channel crossing on the tunnel and was sent an 'offer' for a French toll card/box but I'm not keen on setting up a direct debit with a French company so will just pay as I go.

    Here's the link if you're interested; http://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/travel...tm_medium=email&utm_source=eurotunnel_website
