Is anyone taking any toll route miles into account here, or is it wiser to stick to actual age?
Or is that a case of measuring the length of a piece of string?
I suppose in theory, a more accurate account would be the number of barriers it lifts, but I guess nobody on here would know any answers for that equation... and probably nobody at Tag HQ, either!
We only go once a year, and our tag debut last year will probably be our longest. Tunnel to Frejus and back, all toll route, plus a bit of toll down there, inc. MC. A tad over 200€ worth.
Some folk may do 4 or five trips a year, and not go through as many toll booths?
Just a shame they can't advise on average use, as opposed to age... unless the age of the battery is critical, of course?

Yep, rule of thumb, return after 3 years for a replacement.
My "Bip & Go" Tag died on the job, after about 4 years, they exchanged it no problem, via UK post from France to UK, just 2€ postage onto my account.
They even updated it to the new style small Petite Tag, which requires a different windscreen mount, also included for free.
Did you just return yours with a covering letter, Francais, or did you okay it with them first?

The Bip&Go website says that the tag has an average life of 5 years. I don't think any of us that use it just for holidays will come anywhere close to achieving an average usage when you consider that quite a few French residents are using the toll roads every day for travelling to work etc. Despite that the average life for them is the still the same, 5 years.
As I said before if you are worried ask for a new one after 4 years.
