Roads in Portugal
Portugal has national roads and motorways.
If you value safety and want to reach your destination more easily and quickly, we recommend using the motorways.
If you have time and are looking for local and smaller destinations, you can also use the national roads. In fact, the national roads are preferable to the motorways.
Motorway toll
To pay the motorway toll in Portugal, you have two options:
1. Manually:
You receive the ticket at the beginning and pay it at the exit. With this option, you don't need a credit card. You pay the toll directly with cash or a debit card.
2. Automatically with “Via Verde”
Payment will be made via your credit card as soon as we receive the motorway data.
We require your credit card number. Debit cards or cash are not accepted at Via Verde.
