With the return of sunny days, there are more and more opportunities to go on weekends or vacations. Even if it’s a good time, why not avoid waiting times at tolls? Currently the Ulys electronic toll pass is free for 8 months and it is an excellent opportunity to test electronic toll collection at a lower cost.
Who hasn’t already wasted an hour stuck in toll traffic during a journey that’s only supposed to last two? Who has never found themselves having to wait in the middle of a ditch for the line of cars to advance, because only 2 toll barriers are working out of the 16 available? If you take the road regularly, this type of mishap has undoubtedly already happened to you.
Thanks to the Ulys Pass, it is possible to no longer be trapped. Equipped with such a pass, motorists benefit from a dedicated toll lane, in which there is no even need to stop since the barrier opens automatically. And this is just one of the many advantages of this electronic toll pass, the first 8 months of which are free by entering the code ULYS8 when registering.
The anti-barrier gesture
With its Electronic Toll Pass, Ulys seeks above all to offer a comfort solution to drivers. A strategy that applies when subscribing to the Ulys Pass since this can be done in less than three minutes on the official website.
After providing your contact details and RIB for collection, a badge is sent to your home. A badge that must then be stuck on the windshield, inside the vehicle and that’s it. This is activated automatically from the first use, which avoids additional steps. All this, without any commissioning costs, a rarity on the electronic toll collection market.
From now on, each time the motorist passes a toll, he simply takes an electronic toll lane and passes without having to lower his window. Better still, the cost of the various tolls accumulates throughout the journey, and will be automatically debited from the motorist’s account in the following days.
Especially since Ulys provides a dedicated mobile application (Android and iOS) which allows you to monitor your consumption or the amount of tolls due in real time, in order to effectively plan your budget.
A great time saver
Of course, the main advantage of the Ulys Pass is to save time when traveling by car. This is why dedicated electronic toll lanes allow passage without stopping, provided you do not exceed 30 km/h. No more going back and forth between lines of cars to try to move faster towards the payment terminal.
Valid on all French motorways, the Ulys badge can also be activated on Spanish, Italian and Portuguese roads via a system of temporary options. Perfect for getting to your vacation spot more quickly.
That said, Ulys goes further to help motorists spend as little time as possible on the road. Via the mobile application, the service allows drivers to take advantage of more than 1,000 parking lots in Europe. Car parks whose frontage is adorned with a “t” logo to make them easy to recognize. As with tolls, the price of these parking lots is added directly to the Ulys account, which allows you to pay your expenses in the same place and in one go.
The Ulys app also makes it easier for EV drivers to find charging stations based on their current location and plan a trip accordingly.
Finally, the Ulys application informs motorists about the signs and services available at motorway service areas. A helping hand that allows you to plan your breaks in advance or maintain your vehicle efficiently throughout the journey. Without forgetting Club Ulys, a veritable cavern of good deals since more than 200 partner brands offer exclusive deals to subscribers.
Adaptive packages
The ultimate advantage of the Ulys Pass is its price. On the one hand, using electronic toll lanes does not cost more than other lanes. Better, if you don’t use the badge during a given month, the Ulys Pass costs nothing.
It is in fact possible to choose a subscription either per day used or per month used. Concretely, this allows occasional drivers to only pay the rare times they take the car, and thus avoid expenses the rest of the year. Ulyss therefore offers three formulas:
- Ulys Flex: this is a daily package billed at €0.90/day.
- Ulys Classic: this is a monthly package. Not only is it billed at only 2 euros per month used, but it also allows you to benefit from 8 months of Pass Ulys for free. Just enter the code ULYS8 when subscribing to benefit from it.
- Ulys Premium: this is also a monthly plan. The Premium version takes all the advantages of the Classic version and adds a mechanical breakdown guarantee and dedicated after-sales service.
Regardless of the option chosen, no activation fees are charged. Better still, this is a non-binding offer. The subscriber is therefore free to manage the duration of his subscription as he wishes.
