I started a thread about trying to purchase a Fulli Tag but I thought I'd start a new thread as the search for a tag widened.

I wanted to buy a cheap and easy tag to use on the odd occasion I use a French motorway.

Fulli looked like the cheapest but there was no option of paying with a uk bank account.
Ulys looked good but they wouldn't accept my Halifax bank details. (I checked with Halifax who said they do accept SEPA direct debits so I don't know why there is a problem)
Bip and go.... member GMJ offered me a discount code. I tried to sign up but the site wouldn't accept my uk address. I contacted the help desk who told me they wouldn't accept a uk bank account and that I should try Emovis. (Who are expensive to set up)
I then opened a Revolut account and tried again with Ulys.
All went well for a while. My application was accepted. They then asked me for a €120 deposit!
So..
It looks like we'll be going through the card payment gate with my wife hanging out of the passenger window.

As far as I can see it's impossible to get a new cheap tag in the uk.
I know quite a few of you have tags from many of these companies and pay from a standard uk bank. But, it seems things have changed and new accounts are not being accepted.

If anyone had been able to open an account recently I'd love to hear about it.
 
I use bip and go. Today I received an email informing me of an increase in fees.
Beginning in June the charge (in those months that the tag is used) will increase from €1.90 to €2.10
Not a huge increase and the first since I started using them in 2023.
The actual toll charges remain a mystery as to how they are calculated and I assume change price on an annual basis. I just pay them for the convenience of using a section of motorway, not that we use many.
I do however make a point of using a tolled motorway once a year to maintain continuity. Interestingly the email indicates that a charge will be levied if the tag is not used for 14 consecutive months charged at €15. I must say I was not aware of this penalty.
