Ralph Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Just read a rather crappy article in the CC magazine which mentioned the difficulty of finding change for the tolls on French Autoroutes and it occurred to me that first timers may not be aware that it's not necessary. They all take credit cards, even if the toll is only a few Euros. In fact I never use cash at all as it's easier just to let them swipe the card. No need to sign anything or punch in your PIN either.

Guest Tracker Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Except that we found two that would not take our CC - which did cause some delay and quite a noisy queue until an equally irate woman came out and demanded cash! I don't know to this day what she said except that it cost me 15.35 euros - which was less than I had expected to pay! So it does pay to have cash handy too - otherwise I agree - card payment does tend to be easier. On some tolls you can see in advance how much it is, on some you can see as you arrive at the booth, and on some you have to wait to be told how much and that can get confusing too! If in doubt, or confused, simply shrug shoulders, smile broadly and give them a 50 euro note! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 There's always one, or in your case, Richard, 2 :-D I've seen some unmanned tolls as well where you'd be in trouble if the card doesn't work :-S As you rightly say, never rely on the card working although I've never (yet) had a problem...
