Why secure car parks for heavy goods vehicles ?

A study carried out by IRU and the International Transports Forum has shown that 17% of the drivers in Europe questioned had suffered attacks over a given period of five years.
In 60% of cases these attacks targeted the vehicle and its load.
To ensure the safety of drivers as well as of the transported goods, secure car parks propose their services 7/7 and 24/24.

Their advantages :

• Easy access :
  • Located along the motorway network or very nearby
• Services and more tranquillity for drivers :
  • Appropriate welcome (restaurant, showers, fuel…).
  • A rest under the best safety conditions
• Flexible use :
  • Short or long breaks, during the week or at the weekend, or to secure temporarily a vehicle transporting valuable goods.
  • No prior bookings required
• Safety guarantees for goods :
  • Deterioration risk reduction
  • Reinforced guarantee as concerns insurance clauses in case of theft

How to use the eurotoll ETC tags ?

eurotoll tags (DSRC tags et Tribox ^TM) give access to 7 different car parks.

Depending on the car park, the tag is used :

• Either in the entry lane (to identify the tag and authorise access) and in the exit lane (to record the transaction and subsequent invoicing),
• Or in the exit lane only. In that case the driver is handed a time and date stamped receipt upon entering ; this receipt will have to be produced in the exit lane upon leaving

Signposting in each car park will guide you as soon as you arrive.

All HGV ETC tags give access to the secure car parks: do not forget to put yours away if you do not wish it to be detected (so that no transaction will be recorded).

Recorded secure car park transactions will be integrated into your eurotoll invoice, according to the same procedure as your toll transactions and specified on your detailed journey statement. Simplicity itself

At the end of this trial, eurotoll will be proposing you new services as concerns your ETC tag in secure car parks.
