Where’s the best place to get one? The Sanef Bip and Go seems to be looking favourite, but any recommendations? I’ve used my sons in the past, but he’s away at the same time.

Thanks

Emovis supplied me with the Bip and GO, never had any problems with them. I've just fitted the new one (they are phasing out the original circular base ones for the rectangular) and will be making good use of it come a week on Wednesday when I start my charge south to Le Mans.

I bought a Bip and Go yesterday, delivery time up to 10 days which was fine.

I got an email this morning telling me delivery will be delayed by their UK delivery process provider. Unhelpfully it was a 'do not reply to this email' and gave no eta.

Hope it arrives before I leave for france on the 19th June...

FWIW, we have a SANEF doofer, bought from Emovis (https://www.emovis-tag.co.uk/).
Alerted last year that battery was going (after perhaps 6 or 7 years) - replaced ready for this year's jaunt to Les Arcs
Wasn't aware of Bip'n'go.
I assume the toll prices are the same. Not sure about the costs per month used, but it isn't a big amount, & we tend to only use it 1 or 2 months in a year.

You clearly like spending money. €10 activation fee, €1.90 management fee in months you use the tag, and not clear if thay also charge a delivery fee for Bip and Go. If you'd gone with Fulli not only is it cheaper (no activation fee, used month management fee cheaper at €1.70, and even international delviery charge free ATM) but they are also zero rating the 'used month' management fee for the first 12 months so you're literally just paying the same toll fees as if paying cash at the booth just without stopping.

Correct, I love spending money! Thanks for the heads up for Fulli, better late than never, lol.

I ordered mine on the 13th may and received the same delay e-mail not long after.

I got an e-mail today that it is due to be delivered by royal mail tomorrow (5th June).

I got another e-mail soon after the delay mail saying it was despatched, but then radio silence and a close to 2 weeks wait before a mail from royal mail to say it was with them, then 2 days and its now with me.

Tried to register for a Fulli account both last week and today. Keep hitting the same problem where I get an error at the last step where it is supposed to send my phone a code to confirm my iban. I've tried the usual different browsers, different phone numbers, bank accounts etc but keep getting the same error which kicks me back to the start of the process. The only options i have for registering payment are either IBAN or AMEX and dont have an AMEX

Anyone else have this issue?

Here is what I get
"Cancelled order !

We have taken into account the cancellation of your order.

You will be automatically redirected to the list of Fulli offers.

If the redirection does not work, click on the link below.

TRY AGAIN"

I’m seeing the same with an attempt to get a Bip and Go.

The normal issue is your UK bank. Some don't have a problem with Euro direct debit mandates, others refuse them outright.

Thanks. What are my options then? I wanted the Bip because I understand you can hide it behind the front plastic ‘grille’ cover of the Tesla and you don’t need to stop at the toll booth.

Just switched from Emovis after 10+yrs to Bip and Go to save a bit of money and get a single badge for France and Spain. Bit of hassle as the first one got lost in post for 3 weeks…they sent another which arrived after 10 days, then the original arrived which was sent back and de-activated no problem.
Lloyds bank have no issues with setting up a Euro DD now…they used to, hence having to use Emovis previously as their usp was always having a UK office/bank.
Am now in Spain enjoying hassle-free toll and
Car park payments!
