Action reaction. While the Minister Delegate for Transport Clément Beaune put pressure this Wednesday morning on motorway managers to lower their prices a little in this period of high inflation, Vinci Autoroutes immediately proposed a solution. According to information from the Parisian, the company will thus offer a 20% reduction to motorists with an electronic toll subscription.
Concretely, to benefit from this boost, it will be enough “to deposit up to 250 euros of holiday vouchers on an electronic toll subscription between June 15 and July 31” so that the sum is supplemented “20% of the amount, paid by Vinci Autoroutes,” a spokesperson for Vinci Autoroutes told Le Parisien. That is a maximum gain of 50 euros. These 300 euros in jackpots can then be used at any time this summer as later in the year, on all the motorways of the Vinci Autoroutes network.
A gesture that responds to the request of Clément Beaune, who explicitly demanded this Wednesday on RTL from French motorway companies “[that they] make a commercial gesture”. Last summer, a 10% discount was granted to motorists paying by holiday voucher. “But it arrived in mid-July, this year it must be done earlier,” said the Minister of Transport.
The government requires a rebate of the price of tolls “of at least 10%” as well as a reduction of 40% for regular travellers. “I will receive the motorway companies next week” to determine “the terms” of this measure, added the minister. For the latter, this gesture is essential while tolls have increased by 4.75% this year.
