Toll pass with a UK Bank or credit card?
Discussion
Does anyone have a toll pass, (Liber-t I think they are called) but linked to a UK account, if so which company did you get it from.
For years I had one from APRR as they were happy with charging a UK credit card, however when it came to renew the card details it wouldn't let me use a Matercard, so I just left it as I was already living back in the UK. I still travel to the SoF regularly for work and have just been using the card lanes which is fast enough but gives me a headache with expenses etc, so I would like to sign up to a new pass if there is one??
Any help greatly appreciated.

That I undrstand, the amount of times you see people waving them out of the window at sensors in the old stop and go Telepeage lanes makes you wonder how long before I go barreling in to one of the barriers.
I used to live in Italy but work mostly in France and I reckon the big old clunky Italian toll tags are far more robust with a better range, as they hammer through their tolls like nothing was there!

Mine is still going strong some 7.5 years on !
A lot depends on how much use it gets though because it's only then that any real demand is put on the battery, in between it's using virtually nothing.
It got caned quite seriously for the first 5 years or so but it's tailed off now to maybe 20 times a year.
I do approach the 30kph lanes with due caution !

I've had mine from Sanef and it works just fine. They say the battery lasts 5 years but there is no way of testing it....one day I am going to rock-up at one of those 30km/h peages and the barrier will stay down.....
I've been stuck with one that went flat, but I now know why. You usually hear a beep when the code is accepted and the barrier goes up. When the barrier goes up but no beep the battery is running out so stop and get a new one next to a major péage at their office. Waving the thing about is also a no no. The scanner can't read it. Hold it steady and it should work.This is the voice of experience talking
Well the APRR website seems to have sorted itself out and accepted my MasterCard. So I'm happy to report my 5/6yr old tag that was living in my sock drawer for the last year worked a treat and I shot through the two tolls East of Nice. Then I ran up a €32 toll charge running from the Italian border to La Spezia!
