Lyon–Strasbourg toll: pay €3.90 less
Between Lyon and Strasbourg (488 km), the motorway toll comes to €32.80 for a car paid in one go. By legally splitting your trip on the A39 then the A36 — with short exits, along the same route — you pay only €28.90, and that with a single stop over 488 km. Here it is.
How to pay €28.90 instead of €32.80
On this route, all it takes is to exit and immediately rejoin the motorway at one toll gate. You drive the same itinerary; you simply pay your toll in several legs, which added up cost less than a single Lyon → Strasbourg payment.
| Leg (exit, then rejoin) | You pay |
|---|---|
| Beynost → Le Miroir | €10.80 |
| Le Miroir → Saint-Maurice | €18.10 |
| Total when split | €28.90 |
The gate in green (Le Miroir) is your exit point: you leave the motorway and rejoin it straight away. APRR official fares, in force on 1 June 2026. Accept 4 exits in total and the saving rises to €5.00: the app details that full plan when you run the calculation.
On top of these amounts you may also pay the toll at Lyon, which we do not price: it falls outside every fare grid we publish.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to split the Lyon–Strasbourg toll?
Yes. You drive the same route; you simply pay in several instalments, at intermediate toll gates. No rule requires a motorway journey to be settled in a single transaction.
Does it make the trip longer?
Barely. The gate suggested sits directly on your route (the A39 then the A36): you exit, pass the toll and rejoin the motorway straight away, in the same direction. Tollcut rules out gates whose exit would mean a real detour.
Does it work with an electronic toll badge?
Yes, and it is even simpler: with a badge, exits and re-entries need no stop and no ticket, and each leg is charged automatically. The saving is identical.
Where do these prices come from?
From the official fare grids of the operator APRR, versioned and updated at each annual revision (fares in force on 1 June 2026). Tollcut depends on no real-time pricing API.
