4 Ways To Travel in Portugal

3, Motorway

In Portugal most of the motorways are toll paying. There are two ways cars are charged, 1, the car reaches a barrier and you are asked to collect a ticket from the machine. When you depart the motorway you will again reach a barrier where the card is given to the person or the machine and the fee is immediately paid. 2, vehicles' licence plates are recorded from an overhead camera every couple of kilometres and the drivers are expected to pay the fee via the online website or by going to a post office and paying the fee at the counter. Many Portuguese drivers have a box recorder in their cars that records the payments and automatically takes the payment by direct debit. Tourists can also get one of these by Via Verde Portugal, Tollcard, Easy Toll, Paytolls.
