On 6 November 2026, the controversial A69 motorway between Castres and Toulouse (Verfeil) opened to traffic. It shortens the journey by up to 25 minutes – and is one of the most expensive motorways in France.
How to pay
The operator is ATOSCA. Tolls are collected without barriers (free-flow) at four gantries between junction 3 Verfeil-Est and junction 7 Saint-Palais. Payment is made automatically with a télépéage box (Bip&Go, Ulys, Liber-t etc.) or, without a box, online with the operator within 72 hours. Late payers risk a fine.
Truck prices for the entire route (junction 3 to 7, incl. VAT)
| Class | Euro VI | Euro V | Euro 0–IV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class 4 (3 or more axles) | €27.80 | €29.60 | €30.60 |
| Class 3 (2 axles) | €19.90 | €21.60 | €22.80 |
Euro VII vehicles pay slightly less (class 4: €26.70). The price is always the sum of the gantries passed – drivers using only part of the route pay proportionally. Example: Puylaurens – Saint-Palais costs an articulated truck (Euro VI) €11.80.
In context
A 40 t articulated truck pays around €0.59/km on the A69. On the rest of the French motorway network, truck rates are mostly €0.21–0.30/km. Cars pay €8.50 from Verfeil or €10.20 from Toulouse (including A68/A680) – which gives the much-discussed price of €20.40 for a round trip.
What does this mean for TollCalc?
For trips from 6 November 2026, TollCalc uses the official ATOSCA gantry prices per class and Euro standard. Note: until our map data includes the new motorway, route planning may still bypass the A69.
