With its Pass, Ulys does not simply offer an Electronic Toll solution, but rather a complete ecosystem, intended to simplify the daily lives of motorists.
Every year, it’s the same fight. During long weekends and holiday rushes, vehicles flock massively to the highways. Queues then stretch at Télépéages stations and lengthen journeys.
The good news is that this waste of time is not inevitable, in particular thanks to this wonderful invention that is the Electronic Toll. In this little game, Ulys and his Pass are among the best. The reason ? Not only does the Ulys Pass save time on the highway, but also off it, thanks to the plethora of services they integrate.
An effective solution to make motorway journeys smoother
What exactly is the Electronic Toll? To put it simply, Electronic Tolling is a system that allows motorists to save themselves the task of manually paying the cost of tolls. No need to take a ticket or pay the amount due once at the machine. This whole, somewhat tedious and sometimes time-consuming process is replaced by an automated payment system which works thanks to a Pass and a dedicated lane system. A small device located in the car (often on the windshield) communicates directly with the toll station and controls the opening of the barrier when passing through. No need to stop, find the toll ticket or take out your bank card: everything is as fluid and childishly simple as possible.
A simplicity which is at the heart of Ulys’ approach, and which begins upon registration. Simply enter your RIB and contact details (postal address, telephone number, etc.) to receive the Ulys Telepage Pass directly at home… and be able to use it immediately. No need to activate it or perform any other manipulation. Once the Ulys Electronic Toll Pass has been placed in the vehicle, simply use an Electronic Toll lane to activate it. The amount of the toll is then automatically deducted from the bank account provided, without additional costs, except for the subscription costs for Ulys services, daily or monthly depending on the formula chosen.
Small advantage of Ulys: the possibility of taking out subscription options to benefit from the service on Spanish, Portuguese and Italian motorways when the need arises. Enough to simplify your life when you go on vacation to one of these destinations.
A service can hide Trojans from others
Where Ulys stands out is that its Pass is not only used for Electronic Tolling, but also for other services. All are grouped within the same account in order to simplify, once again, the lives of motorists.
To begin with, opting for a Ulys Electronic Toll Pass allows, without additional procedures or costs, access to more than 1,000 car parks scattered throughout mainland France. Among them, airport and train station car parks, but also city centers from various “brands” such as Indigo, Interparking or even Q-Park. Better still, the Pass allows you to pay the bill, in the same way as for the Electronic Toll. No need to bother with a ticket or wait in line at the checkout.
Subscribing to the services offered by Ulys also means accessing the Ulys Club, a loyalty program which provides several advantages, including exclusive offers, reductions and surprises thanks to the partnerships established by Ulys. Among its partners, large brands like Speedy, Carrefour, Booking or Center Parks, which should help you prepare your vacations and your trips.
The latest service accessible via the Ulys Télépéage Pass should please owners of electric vehicles. It allows toll fees and recharge fees to be grouped within a single subscription. Complementary to the Ulys Télépéage Pass, this Pass allows access to almost all terminals present on French territory and, ultimately, in Europe.
Happy who, like Ulys, has (well) planned his trip
To accommodate the various services grouped under its aegis, Ulys has developed an appropriate setting in the form of a particularly comprehensive mobile application. If it accommodates, quite logically, a complete interface to manage your account and everything associated with it (particularly in terms of expenses), it also offers an innovative and very well thought-out route calculator. Enough to allow users to plan any trip with ease.
At first glance, nothing distinguishes this route planner from its peers like the one offered by Google or Mappy. A destination, a starting point and presto, the best route between the two points appears on the screen. Various information such as total distance, time, estimated toll cost or alternative routes are also displayed to get a good overview of the journey ahead. Better still, the Ulys application collects a whole bunch of information on the traffic situation in real time: slowdowns, traffic jams, works and diversions are visible at a glance.
Where the Ulys application stands out is thanks to its advanced options, of which there are three. With the press of a button, you can view all available motorway rest areas along the route, as well as the services they offer. A similar principle is adopted for electric charging stations. By selecting this filter, we obtain the location of all the stations present on the chosen route. Enough to allow owners of vehicles, electric or not, to anticipate the stages of their trip and save time.
Ulys Electronic Toll Pass: a formula that adapts to your needs
The price is undoubtedly the last argument in favor of Ulys. The company offers an economic model that is as simple as it is clear, and capable of adapting to most user profiles. Its great strength: you pay your subscription if and only if you use the service. Understand by this that if you go three months without taking the motorway, the bill will amount to zero euros. To adapt to different types of drivers, Ulys offers three packages:
- Ulys Flex: This offer is aimed at occasional drivers and offers billing based on the day of use. Ideal for all those who use the motorway only when they go on vacation, this formula is billed at 0.90 euros per day of use (toll charges are obviously extra, as is the case for the others formulas);
- Ulys Classic: this formula is comparable to the previous one, with the difference that invoicing is no longer established on a daily basis, but on a monthly basis. It allows you to enjoy the joys of Electronic Tolling for 2 euros per month. It is in fact intended for larger users of the motorway network;
- Ulys Premium: as its name suggests, this premium offer offered at 3.50 euros per month offers a more advanced service than the two previous ones. In this case, this is the mechanical breakdown guarantee (up to 1,000 euros of coverage for a mechanical breakdown or 400 euros for a puncture on the French motorway network) and premium customer service for you support in case of problems.
Another advantage of Ulys offers: they are without commitment or notice of termination, and have no set-up costs. Better: right now, thanks to the code ULYS88 months of subscription will be offered to you for any subscription to the Ulys Classic package.
