Which vehicle category?
French motorways - main classes
- Class 1
- Overall height up to and including 2 m and maximum permissible mass up to 3.5 t. Usually passenger cars.
- Class 2
- Height above 2 m but below 3 m and maximum permissible mass up to 3.5 t - for example, a taller van or motorhome.
- Class 3
- Two axles and height of 3 m or more, or maximum permissible mass over 3.5 t.
- Class 4
- Three or more axles with height of 3 m or more, or maximum permissible mass over 3.5 t; includes the relevant heavy vehicle combinations.
- Class 5
- Motorcycles, including those with sidecars, motor tricycles and quadricycles.
When towing, the combination's height is considered; the mass criterion uses the towing vehicle. Some sections and tunnels have special classifications.

Price by route and vehicle category
The price depends on the route and concessionaire. VINCI's calculator covers its own network.
How to pay
Toll station lanes are marked by payment method: card, cash or electronic device. On a “péage en flux libre” section, there is no barrier: the registration number is read automatically.
