DonB Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 As we will probably arrive in Portugal over a weekend in January, has the system for electronic tolls changed since last year? i.e. if we cannot find anywhere on the border to pay, are they chasing UK reg vans by post afterwards, or have they put in place any system where we can pay in advance from this country?

Frankkia Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 You can register your vehicle number plate and credit card at 3 of the boarder crossings or pre register on line. More info here - http://www.carvoeiro.com/A22tolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Chodkowski Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 We ignored the the payment instructions and travelled about 50 miles on Portuguese motorways back in March this year and have not as yet been contacted by any one concerning payment. Should one register? (!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mitch Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 You can also purchase pre-paid cards at CTT offices (Portuguese Post Offices) where on purchase you declare your vehicle registration. Having said that, we had previously used some toll roads, but, as yet, have not been chased for payment. Mad Mitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankkia Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Auditor - 2013-12-02 7:12 PM Can anyone advise which catagory a 3.5 tonne motorhome is in, for Portuguese road tolls. I am unable to find any English language details, with this information! From Wiki:- Class 1: vehicles with a height (measured vertically at the first axis) that are below 1,10m, with or without trailer. Motorcycles are considered class 1 in case of manual toll collection or class 5 when using Via Verde. • Class 2: vehicles with two axes and a height (measured vertically at the first axis) equal or above 1,10 m. • Class 3: vehicles with three axes and a height (measured vertically at the first axis) equal or above 1,10 m. • Class 4: vehicles with more than three axes and a height (measured vertically at the first axis) equal or above 1,10 m.
