Around 72,500 foreign drivers have already registered for the electronic toll payment system set up at motorways which connect to the Spanish border, according to Portuguese road agency (1410 Estradas de Portugal-EP).

Using a banking payment card, drivers can associate the charging system to the number plate of their vehicles. The operation is valid for one month and every time the car passes through a booth the fee is debited from the driver’s bank account. Drivers can also buy the Toll Card which is pre-loaded with up to €40, but they need to activate and associate the card with their vehicle's number plate.
