Starting on February 1st, French motorway tolls will increase in price.

Toll rates at French motorway péages will go up by an average of 0.92 percent from February 1st in France.

The 2025 increase is below inflation rates, and it also represents a decrease from 2024, when toll booth costs went up on average three percent.

That said, price increases may vary between motorway companies.

  • Sanef (Northern and Eastern France Motorway Company): +0.84 percent
  • SAPN (Paris-Normandy Motorway Company): +1.14 percent
  • APPR (Paris-Rhine-Rhone Motorways): +1.08 percent
  • AREA (Rhône-Alpes Motorway Company): +1.10 percent
  • Cofiroute (Central Western (Centre-ouest), Vinci Autoroutes): +0.77 percent
  • ASF (Southern France Motorways, Vinci Autoroutes): +0.77 percent
  • Escota (Esterel-Côte d'Azur Motorways, Vinci Autoroutes): +0.77 percent

What about other changes to tollbooths in France?

At the end of 2024, free-flow tollbooths were brought in. These are the tolls that motorists drive through and pay later.

So far, they have been added to the A14 motorway which goes through the Yvelines département, and the A13 motorway, which is 210km in length and runs from Paris to Normandy.

It's likely that other roads will introduce the system in 2025, although exact details are yet to be confirmed. You must pay within 72 hours to avoid fines, or use the prepay télépéage system.
