Planning the tunnel for May so I thought I had better check the battery status on the toll tags. Both Spanish/Portugal and the French Tags show "near expiry" so I ordered two new ones. No issue with the Spanish but French out of stock. Ill keep checking daily and update.
 
Prior to this trip I order a Bip&Go one which covers France, Spain and Portugal (and Italy as well for a little extra up front). It worked faultlessly to get down here to Spain.

Prior to this I have the French Emovis Tag and not wanting to have several different ones, decided to switch. Might be worth a look https://www.bipandgo.com/en/

If you decide to go ahead and PM me your email and name, I can sponsor you too and we both get 4€ off :)

Got this reply today
The battery in the tag is designed to last between 5 and 7 years depending on how often it is used and how it's looked after. We recommend not leaving your tag in your vehicle when it's not in use, particularly over winter.

So should be OK for a while yet

Would it not have worked out cheaper to order 1 x Bip&Go tag which covers France, Spain and Portugal (as you mention that you have tags for all those countries in your OP rather than having separate ones? You could have then sent your other ones back to get your deposit back and have one bill and only 1 (x2 month) monthly fee.
 
You are right. We had the French Tag 1st to see how it went. As we spend a lot of time in Spain but only used the main drag from the border down to Valencia before turning inland, we thought probably dont need a Spanish one. But then Sanef offered us a discounted Tag for Spain/Portugal and so thought, why not. Now of course, (just my luck) the tolls have been lifted on the route south from the border down to Alicante. Hey Ho. (y)
We only get one bill anyway and as you say, the deposit is always ours should we decide to return them.
On another note, we still chuckle to ourselves when approaching a toll gate and see the French drivers behind us, swap lanes as they think the stupid Brits are in the wrong lane. :LOL:
 
Tbf we didn't pay 1€ in tolls in Spain this year. I took the toll free from the western French border across to Pamplona and Zaragoza then the rest of our trip south and then north was all toll free.

Different story in France however.
 
Just an update for info in case anyone searches for this thread...

I recently changed our current account to First Direct and it appears that First Direct cannot do SEPA Direct Debits (SEPA being a pan European DD arrangement) so therefore I am unable to have a tag with Bip&Go until I have another account set up that can deal with international DD's.

I thought I'd mention it just in case.

Luckily its dead easy to set up an account elsewhere which I did yesterday on line with HSBC. I'll just use it to service my B&P account.

PS The 4€ discount for new joiners to Bip&Go still holds. PM me your name and email address if you are thinking of getting a tag and I can sponsor you for the discount (which I also get).
 
Very puzzled about this bip and go. Does this mean you are automatically charged for toll roads? If so how do you find the vehicle rates of charge?
