The end of the Total Péage card: what solutions in 2025?

Bad news for fleet managers: the Total card can no longer be used to pay tolls in France. This decision has a direct impact on companies who used the card to simplify the management of their employees' motorway journeys. From now on, these professionals must quickly find alternatives to avoid the administrative complications and additional costs associated with toll payments. What are the alternatives? How can we optimize the management of freeway payment flows while integrating other services such as parking, electric recharging and car washing? We tell you all about it, and of course, we present the Bump multi-service card !

Why will the Total card no longer work at toll booths in 2025?

A strategic decision by TotalEnergies

The discontinuation of the Total card for toll payments is part of a wider strategy to reorganize TotalEnergies' mobility services. Faced with the evolution of motorway infrastructures and the rise of free-flow toll systems, the company has decided to refocus on other fleet management solutions. This withdrawal has a direct impact on professionals who used this card to centralize their payments and optimize the management of their employees' journeys.

A major impact for fleet managers

For companies and fleet managers, the end of this service means a rapid reorganization of toll payment methods. Without an immediate alternative, vehicles risk being blocked at toll gates, delays on journeys and increased administrative costs for reimbursing employee transport costs. Finding a suitable solution is therefore a priority to ensure frictionless operational continuity.

What alternatives are there to replace the Total Péage card?

Multi-network electronic toll badges

Faced with the end of the Total card for toll payments, the most obvious option remains the electronic toll tag. A number of operators offer solutions tailored to professional fleets, enabling smooth passage on all French freeways and even in Europe. These electronic badges offer a number of advantages:

• Centralized invoicing: a single invoice covers all journeys made by employees.
• Easier access: no queuing thanks to dedicated electronic toll lanes.
• Compatibility with other services: some badges can also be used to pay foreign parking lots and tolls.

The main suppliers offer special deals for business customers, with rates negotiated according to the volume of journeys.

Payment by license plate

With the rise of free-flow tolling, some freeways now allow automatic payment via the vehicle's license plate. This system, deployed on sections such as the A79 freeway, simplifies toll management by eliminating physical barriers.

This payment method offers several benefits:

• Automatic debit to an account associated with the fleet, without the need for a badge or physical card.
• Reduced journey times thanks to no need to stop at toll plazas.
• Adapted to new regulations on motorway infrastructure modernization.

However, as this system has not yet been rolled out across the entire motorway network, it cannot yet fully replace electronic toll badges.

Payment by credit card or mobile application

Another alternative is to use professional bank cards or mobile applications offered by motorway companies. Some applications allow you to register a means of payment and be debited automatically after each passage.

Although this is a viable solution, it has a number of disadvantages for fleets:

• No centralized billing: each transaction is recorded individually, which complicates accounting management.
• Risk of additional charges depending on the company's banking arrangements.
• Less flexibility for drivers who have to pay in advance or manage their payments manually.

Bump: an all-in-one solution for fleet mobility

Bump's aim is to simplify mobility management by centralizing payments and offering an intuitive interface for tracking expenses. Thanks to a single platform, fleet managers can :

How can I prepare for the transition after the Total Péage card is discontinued?

Anticipate change with the right solution

The discontinuation of the Total Péage card means that companies need to react quickly to avoid disruption to their motorway journeys. Here are a few key steps to ensure a smooth transition:

1️⃣ Assess the specific needs of the fleet (number of vehicles, frequent journeys, ancillary services).
2️⃣ Choose an alternative solution based on the constraints and advantages of each option (electronic toll tag, payment by plate, combined solution such as Bump).
3️⃣ Inform and equip employees with the new payment methods.
4️⃣ Optimize expense management with integrated monitoring and reporting tools.

Don't wait until the last minute

Switching to a new payment system can lead to implementation delays, particularly when it comes to issuing new badges or activating services. Companies must therefore anticipate this transition by quickly selecting their ideal alternative.

Adapt your toll management and mobility services now

The end of the Total Péage card in 2025 is forcing fleet managers to review their toll payment strategies. Rather than opting for dispersed, complex-to-manage solutions, the ideal solution is to turn to a comprehensive, centralized offering like the one proposed by Bump. With a solution encompassing electronic toll collection, electric recharging, parking and car washing, companies can optimize their travel management while simplifying their administrative follow-up. It's time to take action and choose the best alternative to ensure the continuity of business trips!
