If it helps, I have never had any recurring fees other than when used. I've had it since 2013, just have to remember to update my debit card occasionally.

Thank you
If it works out, this seems to be much the best value way of doing it. There are 'offers' you can get with Eurotunnel and The Caravan Club (as was... can't get to grips with the rebrand) but ATMB seem to be the best value.
Not sure if car park access is included like the Vinci version but with a Disco, I've struggled with French NCP-type parking places. I think EVERY one in Biarritz was too small to get in..."The quality remains long after the price has been forgotten."Henry Royce

Tag arrived this morning complete with its user guide which states that 250 parking lots (mainly the big NCP-type, so Vinci Park, Lyon Airport etc) where the t symbol is displayed can be charged direct to the account.
Fingers crossed for an easy autoroute run when I drag the tintent down to the Dordogne later in the month.[/b]"The quality remains long after the price has been forgotten."Henry Royce

Easy? Oh my word; it doesn't even begin to cover it.
Having stuck rigidly to the 90kph limit for >3.5T on the Autoroutes, I was then able to breeze past everyone who overtook me between the gares du peage.
Get the tag, have faith that it'll work, and enjoy the drive. Just not needing to get out to pay the toll, or worse, coping with the anxiety of "where did I put the ticket...?!" was worth it."The quality remains long after the price has been forgotten."Henry Royce

They are truely worth their weight in gold. Even in the quiet times you still end up going past lots of stuff that's just stonked past you. Plus no painful interaction with the gearstick to get the ticket if driving solo.

I applied for an ATMB 'badge' a week or so ago, and received it several days later. However, on their website it says that I would receive an email confirming my username and password so that I can access the billing information. I didn't. Neither has the cost of the 'badge' (20 euros) appeared anywhere on my bank accounts.
I have sent them a couple of messages re the above, but have had no response. It doesn't inspire confidence unless I've missed something in the blurb. Anyone had a similar experience?

The cost will appear on your statement at the end of the month and be taken by DDM at the end of the following month.D3 07 SE - still going strong

I can check all my bank details online, but there’s no sign of the ATMB bill on there. It’s now almost a fortnight since I applied, and over a week since I received the tag.
How do I check my ATMB account when i can’t get the details to log on?

Thank you, but please excuse my ignorance, is ATMB the same as Sanef?

I ordered the ATMB tag a couple of weeks ago. the tag arrived after about 5 days but they haven't taken any of the fees from my french bank account.
There wasn't a deposit for the tag, just an activation fee of 11 euro plus carriage of about 4 euro and one month at 1.90 euro
They haven't sent me the email with the account number on it but it may be on the papers that came with the tag that I haven't of course had a look at yet.
thy did send me the email to set up a password
Not going to be using it until July for alps trip and unless I get the bike out in September, it will then be Decembers skiing
