In fact, what you need to buy is not the entry fee, but the highway ticket. However, there are toll stations on the French highway, some of which accept payment directly, while others require you to get a ticket first and then pay at the exit. Credit cards are accepted. There is no such thing as an entry fee, only highway tickets. If you can successfully avoid the highway, you don't have to buy one. And the highway in France will give you money or a ticket on the spot.

As in China, most tolls in France are paid after exiting the highway, while a small number are paid directly. As for vehicle passage fees, it is necessary to confirm with the car rental company.

I originally drove on the highway in southern France. Each section had a different toll. Some had toll booths where you had to take a card, while others required you to pay first without a card. Look at the signs above the toll booths to see if you need to take the ETC lane or the regular lane with the toll sign. There was a toll to get to Paris, and there was a toll on one section of the highway to Monaco. There were no tolls on the highways in southern France, but I remember there was an automatic machine at Nice airport that could exchange paper money for coins. I think the toll machines automatically counted the coins you put in, so you didn't have to count them yourself. There were a lot of one-way streets in France, especially in small towns, and the roads were very narrow. Also, always lock your car doors when you leave it, because we were waiting at a red light on a road in Gannat and someone opened our trunk. Fortunately, we had read in the guidebook to lock the car doors before getting out, so we didn't get stolen. This time, we picked up the car in Paris and drove to the Loire Valley ? France Q&A

How to refuel when driving in France? In France, gas stations are widely available and easy to find, especially in urban areas. Most gas stations are open 24 hours a day, although some may have limited hours on weekends or holidays. To refuel your car, simply pull up to a pump and insert your fuel card or pay with cash. Gasoline in France is sold in liters, with unleaded gasoline (essence) being the most common type. It's important to note that French gas stations do not typically provide self-service fueling, so you will need to ask an attendant to pump your gas for you. Additionally, many gas stations require payment before pumping the fuel, so be sure to have cash or a credit card ready. If you're unsure about where to find a gas station, you can use a GPS or map app on your phone to locate one nearby. Additionally, many French highways have gas stations located along the side of the road, so keep an eye out for these as you drive ? France Q&A

We arrived in Paris on the 13th and stayed for 6 days, then drove to Fontainebleau, Lyon, Nice, Monaco, Genoa, Florence, and arrived in Rome yesterday. We were on edge the whole way... First of all, the temperature here is not hot. The wind is quite cold. We have to wear down jackets and woolen hats to keep warm. It is not recommended to drive in the city of Paris. It is difficult to find parking spaces on the road surface. The entrances and exits of underground parking lots are too narrow and difficult to find. Navigation mainly relies on the map built into the Apple phone, which is actually a collaboration with Tom Tom and is very accurate. The maps we downloaded at home are not very reliable, including Google Maps. We were misled several times, even guided to a snow-covered mountain road at night. Maybe it's because we didn't enter the address accurately. Remember to enter the postal code of the region. Google Play needs to be installed to have offline maps, so you must have wireless WiFi. The high-speed rail here is very fast. France is 130 and Italy is 110. I think this is the lowest speed. There will always be cars following me to drive. After all, the car company gave me a top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz E200 station wagon, black German license plate, which is too eye-catching. This caused me to park in the underground garage and dare not park on the road, for fear that my car windows would be broken and my bag would be stolen. All overtaking must be done from the left side, and then the left lane must be given up. It is forbidden to occupy the left lane for a long time. Right-hand overtaking is strictly prohibited, which is very dangerous! Highways need to prepare some 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1, and 0.5 euro banknotes and coins in advance. Do not enter the electronic payment channel by mistake. France and Italy have many dark tunnels that are relatively narrow. Overtaking and turning do not slow down. It feels like you're driving a race car, so small cars are popular here. Their control performance is good. Remember not to rent big cars! My Mercedes-Benz is too long, and the city control is really a bit difficult. Those streets, tunnels, and parking lot passages are really narrow! Bring fewer luggage when you go out ? France Q&A

May I ask if the 300 euros charged on the first day of picking up the car will be refunded? He said it will be refunded if nothing happens, but from your chat content, it feels like it's up in the air! Also, for another order, 90 euros of prepayment for fuel was charged first, and this was refunded, but 1200 euros were frozen, saying it will be refunded if there are no violations. It will take 30-60 days. Will this really be refunded ? France Q&A
