Faced with the rise in toll prices, how can you benefit from the reductions offered by motorway companies?

While toll prices will increase by 4.75% on average on 1^er February 2023, some motorway companies plan to increase their discounts for motorists. For example, the motorway concessions of Eiffage, APRR and AREA, will offer a 40% reduction for regular journeys, from February.

In concrete terms, holders of the CITO electronic toll will have to make from ten round trips per month to benefit from it. The subscription, already pre-existing, now displays up to 20% reduction. No action will be necessary for drivers, who will benefit from the discount directly on their subscription. For those who travel by electric car, they will also have a 5% reduction on all toll rates – and for all journeys – for a period of one year.
