Toll Roads in France

[Rumour]

We are limited for time as 'er indoors is still working, so we use tolls to get to the area we want to explore. With 18 days in September, I certainly don't want to waste days in villages we have seen and roundabouts we have driven through. We use the Sanef tag. The bill is paid the following month, so gives us chance to recharge the bank account.

Does anyone know whether Nationwide does?

Bip&Go declined my Nationwide Flex Direct account, said it wasn't compatible - this is Monday just gone. Fortunately they accepted my TSB account so I'm waiting for my shiny new tag to arrive.

So do you get a bill to pay, and don't need the SEPA compliant account?

I use the Fulli tag, it works in France Spain. Portugal and Italy, it is paired with my Revolt card and payment is taken out automatically,. I went down this route because on a toll in France I had to get out of the van to access the machine on the opposite side of the drivers window, I inserted my toll ticket, paid with my card but by the time I had got back in the cab and fastened my seat belt, the barrier closed trapping me, the cars behind me were not amused, I had to press the call button for about 5 minutes before someone answered, and guess what,he could not speak a word of English and hung up on me, 10 minutes latter a traffic officer turned up and I explained what had happened but he did not believe me and said that I must have a toll ticket or it is a 90 euro fine, I got my phone and opened the banking app, were the payment was showing, he never said a thing and opened the barrier for me to go, the tag makes life so much easier, just approach and the barrier lifts up for you to drive through

It is set up as a normal payment, but of course, Sanef have an office in the UK, which is used for tag accounts. I guess that is why there is no problem with payment. But I do have to add, a UK office was why we went with them, just in case of problems.
