SERVICES AND COSTS

However, it is not certain that such a wide and abundant range is necessary for everyone, so it makes sense for everyone to carefully evaluate the different proposals that have appeared on the market over the years, in search of the best compromise between services and costs. In this regard, both Telepass and UnipolMove and MooneyGo offer subscription or pay per use formulastherefore suitable for different types of motorists: the first is suitable for those who travel a lot by car, the second for those who rarely see motorway toll booths.
