For a France toll calculator, use the tools of the motorway companies themselves: there is no single official calculator for every French motorway, because there is no single toll operator. On the pages read for this guide, Sanef and Vinci Autoroutes each run an online estimator for their own network, APRR publishes PDF tariff tables, and the ASFA portal is a map that sends you on to the company concerned. Pick your vehicle class, enter where you join and leave, add up the results and note the date of each price grid. This guide is not a calculator and quotes no prices: it lists the official tools, what each asks for and why the total can differ from the bill. How the lanes and payments work is in French tolls explained.
What decides the price
Sanef says the price of a trip depends on your entry station, your exit station, the distance driven and your vehicle class, which it identifies automatically at each passage. It also says the price is the same whether the toll is collected at a barrier or in free flow, and that prices are revised every year.
Two details make a single figure unreliable:
- Open systems charge per gantry. Sanef describes the A13 as an open system: a driver pays a flat amount at each free-flow gantry, according to vehicle class. It names four on the A13, at Buchelay (km 48), Heudebouville (km 90), Beuzeville (km 167) and Dozulé (km 203), and Montesson on the A14. APRR likewise publishes a separate list for its open-system stations, where a flat amount is charged at a single station.
- Some prices move with the hour. On the A1 towards Paris, on Sundays, bank holiday Mondays and some bank holiday Tuesdays, Sanef takes 25% off between 14:30 and 16:30 and between 20:30 and 23:30, and adds 25% between 16:30 and 20:30. The time recorded by the toll equipment decides. On the A14 at Montesson the price is reduced on weekdays from 10:00 to 16:00 and from 21:00 to 06:00, outside bank holidays.
The official tools
| Tool | Covers | What it asks | Price grids dated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sanef price simulator | Sanef and Sapn motorways | Vehicle type from five classes, where you left the motorway, then your trip | 1 February 2026 |
| Vinci Autoroutes cost estimator | Vinci Autoroutes networks | Your trip and a vehicle category from five classes; a route map also shows a price estimate | ASF 1 June 2026; Cofiroute, Escota and the A355 Strasbourg bypass 1 February 2026; Duplex A86 1 January 2026 |
| APRR and AREA tariff tables | APRR and AREA motorways | No online form on the page: a PDF for APRR and one for AREA, all classes, plus lists for open-system stations and the Maurice-Lemaire tunnel | 1 February 2026 |
| ASFA portal (autoroutes.fr) | Its member companies | A clickable map: choose a motorway and it opens that company's tariff page | Each company's own |
Vinci Autoroutes tells readers to calculate a trip on the ASFA site or on its own, which is why the portal helps when your route leaves the Vinci network. The ASFA map does not compute a price itself; one of its links leads to a calculator on the site of Atlandes, the A63 company. Sanef presents its simulator for the Sanef and Sapn motorways and Vinci its estimator for its own networks, so never read one result as a total for the whole trip.
A method that works
- Fix your class first. For a car with a caravan or trailer, the class follows the height of the combination; the class table in our French tolls guide gives the limits.
- List the companies on your route. The ASFA map shows which company runs which motorway.
- Run each company's tool or table with the same class and the right entry and exit points.
- Add the figures and keep each company's grid date next to its figure.
- Count the free-flow gantries separately if you use the A13 or A14, since the amount is per gantry.
Why the bill can differ
- The grid date. A result is only as recent as its grid. Vinci's ASF grids apply from 1 June 2026 while its other networks apply from 1 February 2026, so two tools on one page can follow different dates. Sanef's A13 page prints its gantry prices without a date; its tariff page dates the 2026 grids from 1 February 2026.
- The class at the toll. Sanef says the class is identified automatically at each passage. A trailer or caravan between 2 m and 3 m high moves a car into class 2. Sanef says roof boxes and bikes do not change the class.
- A lost ticket. Vinci Autoroutes says the highest tariff is charged.
- The hour. See the A1 and A14 time bands above.
What a calculator leaves out
A calculator prices the motorway toll of the company concerned. It does not tell you how to pay, and on a free-flow section the payment has a 72-hour window; the French tolls guide covers the options and what an unpaid toll costs. Sanef's A13 page also lists the flat gantry amounts for each class in one table, if that is the only stretch you need.
BlitzBuddy and the French route
BlitzBuddy has speed camera warnings in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and Türkiye and switches them on by itself on arrival; in the UK, Ireland and everywhere else it gives none, while your speed, your trips and reports from other drivers still work. In France it shows fixed speed cameras, red-light cameras and most average speed checks at their exact location, from the official list of the Ministry of the Interior, and search and turn-by-turn navigation show them on every route. In France, article R413-15 of the Code de la route, in paragraph V, has since 5 January 2012 also banned devices that warn of or inform about the location of the equipment used to record traffic offences; using these warnings is the driver's own responsibility. In Germany, § 23 (1c) StVO forbids drivers to use a speed camera warner while driving; the warnings can be switched off under Profile, Warnings, and the driver is responsible. For the law elsewhere, see where speed camera warnings are allowed, and for how the official camera maps compare, the speed camera locations guide.
More guides on permits, tolls and low emission zones are collected under driving abroad. For a stay in a French city, the Crit'Air sticker guide covers the low emission zones.

Frequently asked questions
Is there one official toll calculator for the whole of France?
Not on the pages read for this guide. Vinci Autoroutes says to calculate a trip on the ASFA site or on its own site, and the ASFA tariff page is a map that opens each company's tariff page or calculator.
What does a French toll calculator need from me?
Sanef says the price depends on your entry and exit stations, the distance and your vehicle class. The Sanef and Vinci tools both ask you to pick one of five vehicle classes.
Is a free-flow toll priced differently from a barrier toll?
Sanef says the prices are identical whichever way the toll is collected. On the A13 the system is open, so you pay a flat amount at each free-flow gantry that depends on your vehicle class.
Why is the toll different at certain times?
Sanef varies some prices by time. On the A1 towards Paris, on Sundays, bank holiday Mondays and some bank holiday Tuesdays, it takes 25% off between 14:30 and 16:30 and between 20:30 and 23:30, and adds 25% between 16:30 and 20:30.
