2 years ago we subscribed to a French service which comes from their equivilent of our Highways Agency. The service is from www.sanef.com and it is called Liber-T (Liberty!!!) Basically it is a small passive electonic device that mounts on your windscreen and allows to bypass all of those long, infernal queues at the motorwway toll gates (Peage). You can apply for one from the UK, there is a very small monthly hire charge for the unit and each toll gate fee amount gets automatically deducted from your nominated charge card/debit card account. You also get an itemised bill for each outbound or inbound journey. We reckon we save between 1-2 hrs each time we do our twice yearly Calais-Grenoble-Calais ski run. The best bit though, is watching the expression on all of the faces in other GB cars as they patiently queue and we zip past in the Peage Liber-t priority lane.That alone is worth the small monthly hire charge.
