US-based transportation technology company Verra Mobility has announced a partnership with APRR, Europe’s fourth-largest motorway operator, to provide toll management services in France
The partnership will see Verra Mobility design and develop a toll management product for rental cars. Drivers will be able to use electronic toll lanes without needing to pay by card or cash.
“Initially, we will be focusing on providing toll services to our rental car company partners throughout France,” said David Roberts, president and CEO of Verra Mobility. “This partnership and evolution of our global systems is the first step to laying the foundation for expansion into other countries, making road travel in Europe more seamless and connected.”
APRR – a subsidiary of Eiffage – manages motorways and toll structures under concessions awarded by the French government. Under the terms of its concession agreements, it also invests in its 2,300-km (1,430-mile) network to improve travel conditions and meet new mobility requirements.
“The Verra Mobility team has been tremendous to work with,” said Guillaume Herent, deputy general director of APRR. “We are looking forward to a wonderful partnership as we work towards our mutual goal to improve the overall travel experience while keeping drivers safe, informed and comfortable.”
