Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
We are driving to the alps using the tunnel in a few weeks. Can anyone who has done the same thing let me know the maximum height you can get away with at the toll booths when in the autoresponder lanes.
We will be using a 4 wheel drive and I need to know what we can get away with on the roof
Thanks all

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

ochf, we have a Nissan X-Trail with a roofbox, must be well over the 2m stated, and it fits underneath the barrier without a problem, with one exception, at an exit near Chalons where we stay overight. There is an alternative though .

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Took a (very) big van over to Bourg St Maurice via Zebrugge using French toll roads, no issues with hight at any exit or toll - but we did pay with cash (ouch at times!)

ochf, when we have taken bikes, we end up going through the cash only ones. The height is pretty tight at about 2m.
I guess you can go through the lorry bits.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

ochf, By autoresponder, I assume you mean telepeage? if so and are worried about height keep to the right, there are telepeage lanes there without height restrictions
MarjMJ, The lorry thing is a bit of a myth. If you have a telepeage for a car you can go through any telepeage lane and you only get charged car rates. We have a Land Rover and last week with roof box we just went right every time where there were (empty) telepeage lanes with no height restrictions.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Have to admit to coming from side of ignorance thefatcontroller, as we've never got round to the telepeage sticker things yet, though I vaguely recall that the pay ones also have t on them too. Vaguely.
