Top 5 toll road transponders

The model is produced by the Norwegian brand Kapsch especially for the St. Petersburg operator "Northern Capital Highway". Designed for travel along the Western High-Speed ​​Diameter, significantly saving time when driving around the city from south to north.The WHSD transponder is the most cost-effective way to travel on toll roads. You can buy a WHSD transponder only at the operator's sales centers. Available in two versions: "Standard" and "Plus". The first costs only 1500 rubles. The second - 1900 rubles. Completely anonymous, no need to enter personal data anywhere. If necessary, it can be personalized by concluding an agreement, which will provide additional discounts. Replenishment occurs through a mobile application or in a personal account on the operator's website.

The device is produced by the parent company Kapsch. It differs from the T-pass sub-brand model by belonging to the regular line, and not Premium. This helped to reduce the cost by more than 1000 rubles. The quality of the keychain for contactless payment is high, the operation is reliable, which is confirmed by buyers in the reviews. Manufacturer's warranty - 2 years. Compared to other models, this one is a little thinner - only 7 mm. The device is available in black-gray and white-gray casing. The first option is almost invisible under the rearview mirror, especially when installed on a darkened windshield strip or next to the mirror bracket.But due to the combination of an attractive price and good characteristics, it is more difficult to buy this particular model.

The premium model of the Platinum series was developed by the Austrian brand T-pass. This is one of the most reliable (but also expensive) devices on the market, so the manufacturer is not afraid to issue a 3-year warranty on it. When entering the toll road in Moscow, it is not necessary to slow down the traffic much - the transponder will work even at a speed of 40 km/h. The device comes in a beautiful box and contains a cover to fix it in the car interior, as well as a ZIP package that isolates the signal if the driver uses several devices. But this is not necessary, because T-pass supports the "One transponder" service. If the driver has additional bonuses in his personal account or he buys a subscription, the fare becomes even cheaper. To set up the gadget, there is an instruction in 9 languages, including Russian. There are no problems with this. You can top up your balance in 5 different ways.

The transponder of the "Standard" series is made in a white case without additional logos. The design is very simple. It is fixed on the windshield using a square of double-sided tape, pasted at the factory. Inserted into a plastic bracket. Suitable for toll roads M4, M3, M11 and for the Central Ring Road. The device supports a single payment for all operators. Having driven onto the M4 toll highway, you can pay for the right to travel on any lane - you don’t need to look for signs. The gadget runs on its own battery and does not need to be recharged. Battery life is 6 years if 4 payments are made every day. In reality, the battery lasts longer. From the reviews it can be seen that the operation is clear, you will not have to take it back. But in terms of dimensions, this model is one of the “plumpest”, which not everyone likes on the windshield.

The transponder is produced by the T-pass sub-brand in the Premium series and is designed for Moscow toll roads, M1, M11, M3, M4 highways, and is also suitable for WHSD. This is the most popular option for those who actively travel in Russia and in the near abroad. It is often used when traveling south. If the owner activates the Avtodor loyalty program, bonuses will be accumulated and a discount of up to 10% will be provided when paying for the fare. On the M4 highway, the discount reaches 80% when you purchase a subscription. The equipment supports interoperability mode and works with other operators. But this requires a personal visit to the company's office. Not surprisingly, the transponder has the highest number of positive reviews on the Internet and is the best selling one.
