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

[Burridge01]

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.

I used the Bip n Go for the 1st time in Italy this year(via my Chase account)I was on the bike,can't say it was faultless because it wasn't (it could have been me as well getting muddled with the gates)On the bike,if the barrier didn't open i rode throug the barrier gap, not had any comeback from doing that and was billed a month after I got back.

It WAS faultless in France,no issue whatsoever.Thing I like about the Bip n Go,you enter your reg for the trip(you can change it to whatever vehicle you're using)So the bill is correct or can be corrected very easily.
8/10 from me.


EDIT,,,,,,,It is my Barclays account.

I opened a Wise account (no credit check). You can stick a few euros in a virtual account and then use that to pay by direct debit in euros. @er-minio discovered this. You can then sign up for a Fulli 4 country account.

I need the Wise account to transfer some euros to a friend in Paris that organises trips for one of my groups. This euro direct debit facility is just a bonus.

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

Yes, but it's time based. They do not actually get data from the battery inside.

Yes, Wise is the easy solution and is very handy.

For obvious reasons I do have multiple payments in Italy (where I cannot have a bank account because I am not a resident) + the Ulys tag direct debit, and Wise has been perfection. Invite links if anyone wants (free card).
