Ulys
Motorway trips, tolls, parking and EV charging
by VINCI AUTOROUTES
About this app
Ulys is VINCI Autoroutes' road-trip companion app for French motorway users and Ulys toll badge customers. It combines traffic-aware route planning, motorway service information, toll and parking consumption tracking, EV charging support and account management. The app is especially useful in France, where Ulys badges cover motorway tolls and many compatible parking facilities. Recent App Store metadata highlights more than 7 million users, real-time road information, SOS access, EV route planning and consumption tracking across tolls, parking and charging. For French drivers, Ulys is not just a navigation app. It is the mobile control center for a toll subscription, road expenses and long-distance motorway travel.

Detailed Review
Ulys is built around a very French driving habit: motorway tolls. If you use a Ulys badge, the app becomes the natural place to monitor expenses, manage the account and prepare longer trips.
The app's scope is broader than a simple customer portal. It includes a map for services, route planning, traffic and road events, EV charging support and SOS access. That makes it useful both before and during motorway journeys.
Consumption tracking is the most practical feature for regular users. Tolls, compatible parking and charging can all create fragmented expenses, especially across France and neighboring toll networks. Ulys centralizes that information.
For electric vehicle drivers, the EV planner is also relevant. Motorway trips require more confidence around charging stops, and Ulys can help plan around available services rather than treating charging as an afterthought.
The limitation is that Ulys is not a general-purpose mobility app. If you do not drive in France or use toll networks, it will not matter much. Google Maps, Waze or Chargemap may still be better for pure navigation or charging discovery.
Our verdict: for French motorway users, Ulys is highly practical. It is the companion app that makes a toll badge, parking access and road-trip expenses easier to manage.

Our Verdict
Ulys is a must-have for French drivers who use a Ulys toll badge or travel motorways often. It is strongest for account management, expenses and motorway-specific planning rather than generic navigation.
