Sanef Tag (1 Viewer)

[Drexxer]

Hi all

When using the sanef tag in France do you get charged a transaction fee for each toll?, or is it just the once at the end of the month?

You pay once at the end of the month

 

[sueandjohn]

Yes just once for each month you use it

I assume that I can use the same tag previously used in a car and on my m/c in my MH ?

Yes.. the tag is registered to you ... not a vehicle

 

[Delboyarapaho]

although the tag is registered to you is it not also related to the vehicle you registered you would use with it? I seem to recall entering the registration weight and height of my vehicle when I took my tag out and that is how you get charged class 2 as a motorhome?

No, definitely registered to the user's name. Lent my tag to son in law to go skiing in France in his company car - bill came to me as usual.

Agreed I swap my tag between the cars and the camper( let my disabled neighbour use it in his car with no issues) The service charge if I recall is 2 € per month only for the months you use it. I find it invaluable for the time it saves

I think you will find the charge is dearer for Motorhomes so be careful using it for your car

The toll booths can discriminate between classes of vehicles and so charge the correct amount whichever vehicle you use, so no issue with swapping.

 

[StanandShirley]

Clever if true but I am sure when I got mine you register it to what type of vehicle your using.

It is clever

Originally (a long time ago...) you could only use the sanef tag on a class 1 vehicle (car) and all the tag lanes had 2m height barriers to make sure you weren't cheating. Now they have put tag toll recognition on all lanes and they automatically sense your height and charge accordingly so you can use it with any class of vehicle. Our latest documentation definitely says you can transfer between vehicles of any type (under 3500kg maybe?) and they even provide two mounts in the pack.

We've regularly used our tag in both our car and camper van and it always seems to get the class right, even though our van is pretty near the 3m height limit for class 2.

However sometimes it takes a long time to decide your height, leaving you feeling very tense with a queue behind you! Also it only ever flashes up the amount charged for a millisecond so you've no idea if it got it right until you check your bill

Didn't give any vehicle details for mine and it has worked fine on this trip we tow a trailer as well and you only pay the €6 admin fee for first two months in any 12.

I wonder if it can detect a motorbike ? If it can then it would make sense to use it for the bike and moho.

It definitely can. We use our Liber T tag between MH class 2, car class 1 and motorbike class 5 and the invoice always tells us the vehicle used and time, date, distance and which motorway.

One thing when using tag on a motorbike the sensors can take a few seconds to activate the barrier, suppose it depends where on the bike the tag is locaged.

HTH.

Yes just once for each month you use it

But only for the first two months each year. After that there are no fees.

It makes no difference at all.

As people have already posted the tag is registered to you, not to a vehicle. You can use it in any vehicle you like as long as it's detected as one of the supported classes.

The tag itself has no bearing whatsoever on what class the system detects you as. It's a payment method nothing more.

The system will have detected you and decided what class it wants to charge you for long before it detects you have a tag.

If the system detects you as a class that the tag does not support, Class 3 as an example for a Sanef Liber-t, the tag won't work and you'll have to use an alternative payment method.

Clever if true but I am sure when I got mine you register it to what type of vehicle your using.

If you did then you have a different type, not a Sanef Liber-t one.

 

[StanandShirley]

Well you learn something everyday

They do have a rule that you can only use it in one vehicle at a time i.e. if you're travelling in convoy with someone you can't share the tag.

Why anyone would want to I have no idea but someone must have tried it at some point for there to be the specific rule.

That's right max of 12€ admin fee even if you use it all year ..
