Toll Roads are only present in mainland Portugal. All vehicles are equipped with toll devices. The cost of used toll roads is not included in the rental.
The toll device allows you to drive through toll roads and SCUTs without stopping.

At the end of the car rental period, you will be charged for the recorded movements and use of the service. This service is activated only when you drive through a SCUT and/or toll with the device, and you are only billed for the number of days you use the device.

There are two types of tolls in Portugal. The traditional motorway toll and the SCUTS. On SCUTS, tolls are simple arcs in the road that identify the vehicle as it passes and calculate the amount to be paid.

Due to the delay between the use of the toll road and us being informed about its use, you may see a charge on your account up to 4 weeks after your return date.
