New €100 aid for workers with ‘high rollers’

Support for ‘big rollers’ was introduced in May 2026 to mitigate the effects of rising fuel costs resulting from the conflict in the Middle East.

While the application window was due to close on 30 September, the Government renewed the system for the months of October, November and December 2026 and the required revenue cap has been raised.

With an initial amount of € 50 for a period of 3 months, the aid increases to €100 for the period from october to december (the equivalent of 40 cents/liter, compared to 20 cents/liter previously).

How do I get the new « big rollers » help?

If you have never received the aid, the application must be made by means of a paperless form accessible from 27 October in your Public Finance area on the website impôts.gouv.fr. Payment will be made 10 days later. You can apply until December 31, 2026.

You will need to enter your personal information (marital status, tax number, vehicle registration number, vehicle registration certificate number). You will also have to certify that you meet the conditions in terms of distances traveled.

Please note that this new aid cannot be granted only once for the same vehicle.
