Portugal's Tolls
Information at a glance
- Almost all Portuguese motorways are subject to tolls.
- For expressways, national roads as well as country roads no toll is required.
- For some tunnels and bridges an additional toll has to be paid.
The motorway toll in Portugal
The toll in Portugal must be paid for the use of the "Autoestradas". In addition to the motorways, you will also have to pay on certain bridges. This is the case, for example, for the Ponte Vasco da Gama and Ponte 25 de Abril bridges between Lisbon and Almada. The motorways on Madeira Island, on the other hand, are toll-free. The many motorway operators in Portugal do not use a uniform tariff, so it is not possible to calculate the exact cost in advance. If you want to calculate the possible costs before your trip, you can use the official toll calculator "Via Michelin" online, for example.

Tolls and vehicle classes in Portugal
The calculation of the motorway toll in Portugal depends on both the distance driven and the vehicle class. You must not spend more than 12 hours between two toll stations, otherwise the toll costs will double.
In Portugal, vehicle classes are not differentiated according to car, camper van, truck or motorbike, but according to the height of the vehicle at the front axle and the total number of axles. The tolls for cars and motorcycles are cheaper than for other vehicle classes.
