Motorway ‘blipper’ / smart tags - For ALL news, advice, how to get one and what’s best, irrespective of the country

I’ve tried to get numerous toll tags now and I cannot find one that I can set up with a uk bank account even using iban number.
Does anyone know of a tag provider that will take a uk bank account. Useable in Italy too would be a huge bonus.
 
What bank account are you trying to use

What Bank are you using? I had to open an account with Lloyds as my Nationwide just wouldn’t work with Ulys at all.

We use Santander and so far have not found a toll tag company that accepts Santander accounts.
 
I think that Nationwide failed because it was in essence a Building Society, and despite everything that NW said, it didn’t work.
I suspect that Santander is the same.

I just stick £400 into my Lloyds account and it sorts itself out. I get updates from Ulys of how much is owed and when it’ll be taken out, so I add sufficient funds whenever necessary.
 
I use a Fulli Tag linked to a Revolut Card, the good thing with the Revolut Card you can turn of the payment option on the card if you want, and wait until you get the Invoice and a reminder to pay
 
My SANEF tag failed, my first and only failure in years of use. It was replaced by return by SANEF, so no complaints on any front.

I use Emovis tag UK, set up with an HSBC account.

Some time ago I was trying to find a way to "wake up" the tags at home.
To check if they work before leaving on vacation.

I have 2. 1 in the car and 1 for the motorbike, but I don't really know if they work until I reach the first toolbooth in France.
And once it didn't work...

I’ve found that I can get a tag for France using a UK bank account but would have liked a tag to cover Italy as well. I’m probably going to get a tag for France and continue to pay at the toll booth in Italy.

The only way to vaguely check (at least on SANEF) is to look at your subscription and at the state of the battery.

That said, my battery was green (healthy) it was the device that had turned its toes up.

Yes. To be replace before five years.
In my case, too, the device was new and it failed. And it was a major pita, and costed me a pair of shorts at the end of the trip :D :D :D

At least they shipped me a replacement while I was in Italy, at the Italian address.

With the emovis tag you can check on your account- tells you battery level and if it’s working

Emovis does France, Spain and Portugal, BIP&Go does Italy as well but may not work with a UK bank account
