From February 1, 2024, toll prices for the Vinci Autoroutes network will increase. This is in fact what the dealership announced on Wednesday. Its competitors have not yet announced anything.
Last November, the Minister for Transport, Clément Beaune, announced that the increase in toll prices would be less than 3% in 2024. In the same month, Vinci Autoroutes announced that the increase in toll prices would be 5% due to the new tax on long-distance transport infrastructure, announced in the 2024 budget.
« It is inevitably less investment at a time when there is a need to do a lot, and it is also inevitably an increase in prices which we estimate today at around 5% taking into account a tax 4.6% on highway turnover », declared Pierre Coppey, deputy general manager of Vinci and president of Vinci autoroutes. As a reminder, the increase in toll rates is calculated on the basis of inflation as well as the investment plans of the concession companies.
Tolls: an increase of 2.7% on February 1
Finally, Vinci Autoroutes announced that the increase will be around 2.7% as of February 1st. “ On February 1, the price of motorway tolls will increase by 2.7% on average on the Vinci Autoroutes network, an increase one point lower than benchmark inflation, and which will be the lowest in the sector. », announced the company in a press release. The annual increase in toll rates generally occurs on February 1 of each year; Vinci Autoroutes’ competitors have not yet announced their rate increases. Managing 4,443 km of motorways in France, Vinci Autoroutes is the leading motorway concessionaire in France.
Vinci Autoroutes also specified that “ the majority of daily journeys will not increase » in 2024 on its networks. Indeed, the motorway concessionaire indicated that “ 80% of journeys of less than 30 km, and 60% of journeys of less than 50 km, as well as all bypass routes of 35 urban areas served by the Vinci Autoroutes network will benefit from this measure in favor of everyday travel – home-work in particular ».
Good news, especially for the workers who use these roads daily. Furthermore, Vinci Autoroutes also indicated that subscribers who opt for a specific Ulys electronic toll offer “ will be able to benefit from a 30% reduction on all journeys on their preferred itinerary, from 10 round trips made during the month, without mileage limitation ».
