If you want to go ahead, here's something I did (on another site-am I allowed to say that?) for someone a few months back. Hope it helps......... "If you are really worried about doing this on line, here's my best stab at an idiot's guide (not that I'm implying you're an idiot!! ) Go to: www.sanef.com/telepeage/telepeage-sur-autoroute.htm Click on :"Formule annuelle option electronique" Section 1 "coordonnees personnelles" comes up automatically and should say: 1: Vous etes - un particulier The rest should be clear, but just to be completely sure, you are asked to click on miss/mrs/mr (in that order), then fill in: Surname First name 2: Badge user (if different from credit card holder who will pay the bill) details in same order as for 1 3: Address: Flat/floor no (if applicable, obviously) Building entrance or number (ditto) No. and street complement (not really necessary for UK) postcode town country (Grande Bretagne) tel/fax/e-mail (the last is obligatory, the first 2 not) Then tick the 2 boxes at the bottom to say you've understood the terms and conditions of use. Next page: Credit card details - type of card, month and year until which it's valid Next page is the final confirmation and I daren't go there with my made-up details (which I had to put in to see what the form said!!!) Hope this will help." In the year 2159 If man is still alive If woman can survive, they may find................    Report

Dave, Depending on how often you will be using the telepeage doofer, you may want to choose the formule mensuelle (monthly formula) whereby you are only charged 2 euro for each month that you use it rather than pay the annual 12 euro fee. Interestingly the membership card sent out with the kit is printed in English! Mine arrived within days of ordering. So satisfying on a busy autoroute arriving at the peage and everyone is rushing to get in front and you just swan across to the left and cruise through. Get some very odd looks, especially being in a British reg car! I thought of explaining that the peage recognises foreign number plates and, not being French taxpayers, we don't have to pay!

Many thanks for all the help.  I ordered today, so looking forward to the arrival of the card shortly.  Went for the 12 month option as we travel over reasonably often, and for the sake of £7 figured what the hell.  Also got my french bank account sorted as well at last, even though i have no french property (it can be done..... www.barclays.fr and click on the english flag).  Over in Brittany at xmas and the Languedoc feb - march. Looking forward to some trouble free toll roading. BTW.  Anyone got any information on disabled blue badge usage in france, are the regulations pretty similar to over here.

Just waiting now for the doofer to arrive...... I used a UK debit card number to register which must mean you don't need a French bank account - least I hope so! I will be driving a 2001 Scenic with the antithermique windscreen so will place the device in the black dots zone around the rear view mirror - wait to see how easily the readers pick it up.

I've used a UK credit card to pay for my account since I opened it 4 years ago. The official who opened my account was a bit dubious at the time and every once in a while I have to e-mail or fax confirmation of the new expiry date of my card but it still works after all this time.   Best Regards Alan    Report

I've recived my Telepeage doofer today - when I thought they'd lost my order.  I ordered using a UK credit card and went for the annual option plus I can view my account on-line - well I think I can because they've sent me a user ID and password. We have a heater front screen - so will need to fix it on the black dotted section by the rear view mirror.  We off to France on Saturday so hopefully it will work.    Report

And if it DOES come off, you'll not get it to stick again, which will mean sourcing a new holder. I held mine in place first time around to be sure, then fixed it at the next aire. BTW: mine is fixed almost behind, but above the rear view mirror.........perfectly cuts out the sun which always seems to be in position to blind you through the gap the sun-visors don't cover, in spring/autumn. Tip: warm the sticky pad, and the screen if poss, before attempting to stick it on. I did mine in a stream of warm air from a vent on the car. Trying to stick it on cold resulted in it ending up on the floor, twice Alcazar    Report
