Telepass - Can I get it?

[J B L]

Hello all,

I will be spending 4 weeks in Italy in June and I am going down there with my car. Hiring one over there is not a possibility.

Is it possible to get a Telepass unit on a UK Visa card?
I have had an Italian colleague write an email to their customer service but still awaiting a reply (3 weeks). He called them too but no luck.
Has anyone done it?

I have got a French Telepeage one and it's no problem, just paid 35€ for the transponder which I'll get back when I bring it back into one of their agency should I wish to.

Cheers.

We've had no luck, even having an Italian address, Italian tax code and Italian bank account, as you need a salary paid into an account in Italy I understand.

From what I can work out on their website, if you buy the devise online (their website) you can pay by American Express and 2 other card types.

If your bank is not listed then you have to buy one in one of their retail outlets that are usually located next to the larger toll points.
