Ummm how do You get a doofah and is it possible to use on lots of different (hire cars) ? Any Idea what the doofahs real name is so I can google it ? TA

You can use the Doofah (Télépéage Badge) in whatever car you like.  It's about the size of a mobile phone, just hold it up somewhere in the windscreen as you approach the barrier. Beep and you're through.

You can get then online here

I note that if you opt for email invoicing it's only 10€ per year instead of 20 for snail mail invoices, I'll have to do that I think

Just be aware that if you are in a car with an athermic windscreen, you have to place the transponder in the black dotted area around the rear view mirror, otherwise it is unlikely to work. These windscreens have a thin metallic layer in them to reflect the heat of the sun, but they also reflect the signal from the payage booths.

You can recognise this type of screen by the purple reflections seen in it looking from the outside.
