Most Portuguese motorways are operated by private companies and thus tolls are charged for using them. The largest operator, BRISA (Auto-estradas de Portugal S.A) has introduced a system of automatic payment for tolls – ““.
Via Verde users need to have a Multibanco card (or a credit card that works with the Multibanco system). Once you have joined the scheme, you will receive a vehicle identification unit that glues to the windscreen. When the vehicle drives through the Via Verde toll lane, detectors recognise the vehicle and the system automatically charges the toll to the Multibanco card. Some users gain a discount through using the Via Verde scheme. Via Verde may also be used at many carparks and galp petrol stations.
Joining the scheme costs 14.99 euros – call free-phone 0800 206 006 for information in English.
