Worth it if you have multiple month trips I guess. it would save us €1.60 this year so not getting too excited, and never having been in a queue of note (nothing like Dartford crossing in rush hour for instance) I don't think we'll bother!!
Seems to excite some I guess! Didn't realise there was such allegiance to one company or the other!
Firstly I would have to say if youve never hit any Peage pile-ups, then you simply havent been there enough or driven away from main conurbations.
Try driving the Beziers-Agde route in Mid summer, then come back and tell us.
It isnt about saving money per se, its about avoiding being ripped off. If Sanef only charge French people €10 then whay should UK residents have to pay nearly €50?

We simply plan our trips o try and avoid the busiest travel days and have done so for many years. Certainly haven't travelled as extensively as others on here and if you know you are going a busy route or going several times a year as previously said it makes sense
If it isn't about money there seems to be a lot of posting about special offers and rip off companies. For most of us annual travellers its not that relevant I wouldn't have said, espcially as it doesn't save any money and indeed costs slightly more unlike the Dart Tag as mentioned?

I agree that it's busy from Beziers to Agde, but that road isn't a motorway so how would any sort of Tag save time?
Had the APRR version today. Tried to log on but no password so I asked for a reminder and it told me to wait until I get my first bill. Does this TAG need any online activation or are we ready to go?
Ready to go, but it does make you wonder how it would be, if when you get to your first Toll section, and as you slow to a halt in the fast Tag lane, you don't hear a beep from the Tag, and the barrier remains down, truly a condor moment I would imagine.
After all, it's not as though you can pop onto to your nearest motorway, to test it out.

Not in the Fast tag lane though. Also most if not all of the fast tag lanes south of Bordeaux last week had the height barriers open.
A couple of days after I received my tag i think they sent me an email saying that I could log in. My password was my postcode (or the first 5 letters of it. I think they might be all uppercase but I don't remember exactly) you can change the password after you log in
