The companion of all holidays is definitely the European Telepasshere we explain what it is and how it works.
What is Telepass and what is it for?
Let’s start from Telepass: it’s a device that we usually apply on the dashboard or windshield of the car we can pay tolls without stopping. Specifically, just pass in the lane dedicated to the toll booths and thanks to a non-stop optical reader: the toll is paid.
The only obligation is to proceed at reduced speed. Over time, the service has expanded the range of services and is now also available in some airports, exhibition centers and limited traffic zones in Italian cities.

What is the European Telepass
For motorists often a European border has been developed a valid service with other countries. The European Telepass is available in Spain, France e Portugal. Instead, it is useless in other states that are very popular with Italian motorists such as Austria, Croatia, Switzerland. The Telepass company has signed an agreement with the companies of the countries concerned giving the possibility to travel along the motorway network of the partner countries with the same rules.
What advantages does it offer
Through a single device you can easily pass through toll booths in Italy and abroad. This is not yet the case across Europe, but society is moving towards mobility and ease of travel. Also with the European Telepass you can pay for parking in many Italian and European cities such as Paris, Madrid e Barcelona.
How to activate the European Telepass
There are two solutions for activating the European Telepass and they also depend on the contract activated. So who is it for already a customer, just activate on the Telepass Family contract in one of Blue Point. New customers must sign a Telepass Family contract and request the device.
How much does it cost?
The bill varies according to the motorways on the national territory. The cost is charged directly to the credit card or current account of the holder. Those traveling only in Italy will have to pay the standard monthly fee plus tolls on a monthly basis. For those who use the Telepass outside the national territory, they pay only when the European Telepass is actually used abroad.
Il added fee for Europe is 2.40 euros, each time you cross the border of the partner country. Tolls are added to these fixed costs. The principle does not apply to Spain and Portugal: these are considered as a single nation-state
