FAQ - Frequently asked questions about tolls in Portugal
A large part of the Portuguese motorways, called autoestradas, are subject to tolls. As a motorist, you are obligated to buy a ticket. If a motorway crosses a bridge, this section is also affected by the toll. Motorways on Madeira and all other roads that are not motorways are excluded.
You can find out whether it is worth switching to toll-free roads in Portugal in our maut1.de blog.
In Portugal, tolls can be paid either in cash at a toll station or electronically. Some roads are marked with a blue "electronic toll only" sign. In these cases, tolls are only recorded electronically.
Many Portuguese toll booths work with closed systems, i.e. a ticket is taken at the entrance and must be paid when leaving the motorway. With this system, the tolls due are calculated based on the kilometres driven and the specific vehicle class. With our toll box, you can drive through toll stations contactlessly and thus save time.
On the sections of the A4, A8, A13, A17, A22, A23, A24, A25, A28, A29, A33, A41 and the A42 the Free Flow System is applied. This means that the toll due cannot be paid manually at the toll booths. Drivers in Portugal must register on the motorway company's website. There you can pay the toll or purchase a toll card. With our toll box, you can bypass the registration time and use the motorways in Portugal without any hassle.
Rental cars often have the electronic registration devices already installed. This means that tolls and the cost of using the device in Portugal can be calculated directly by the car rental company. If the rental car does not have an appropriate device, you as the driver are responsible for the toll. You can purchase the required toll device at the post office (CTT), at the airport or at appropriate sales points of the operator. Alternatively, you can opt for the toll box from maut1.de and drive all motorways in Portugal in a relaxed manner.
