Changes In Portuguese Motorways
(firmenpresse) - MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 03/27/12 -- Auto Europe's strong commitment to providing the best service to our clients also means making our best to keep them informed of any changes in legislation that may impact their holidays. If you're thinking about booking a , it's important to be aware of the recent changes to toll roads.
There are currently two types of motorways in Portugal where tolls apply. In most of these, you'll be able to pay the toll fee in the existing toll booths when exiting the motorway. Some suppliers may provide a Via Verde device upon request, which will allow you to pass toll booths without stopping to pay. However, unless you are planning to stay in the country for a long period of time, it may not be worth paying the extra fee.
Not all toll roads have toll booths, however. Up until recently, the use of some motorways (SCUTs) was free of charge and, as such, they don't possess toll booths. Whenever a vehicle uses these roads, a system of overhead gantries registers the license plates and the driver must then pay the fee. There are only six motorways where this system is used: the A22 (Algarve), the A23 (Torres Novas-Guarda), the A24 (Viseu-Chaves), the A25 (Vilar Formoso-Aveiro), the A28 (Porto-Vilar de Mouros) and the A29 (Porto-Aveiro).
You can pay these fees in one of two ways. You can lease an electronic device from a post office or motorway service station for the duration of your stay, and either preload it with a fixed amount or have the toll directly charged to your bank account.
If you would rather not have to lease this device, you can choose to pay the toll manually. Drivers have five days to pay these fees, which can be paid either in "PayShop" stores or at the post office (CTT). In order to make the payment, you will need to know the vehicle's registration number. Also, be aware that an administration fee will be added to the amount due and that you cannot pay the fee on the same day you make the journey.
