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.
