The calculation of motorway tolls in Portugal depends on both the distance travelled and the vehicle class. You must not spend more than 12 hours between two toll stations, otherwise the toll charges will double.
In Portugal, vehicle classes are not distinguished by car, motorhome, lorry or motorbike, but by the height of the vehicle at the front axle and the total number of axles. Toll charges for cars and motorbikes are lower than for other vehicle classes.
- Class 1
Vehicles with two axles and a height of less than 1.10 m at the first axle - Class 2
Vehicles with two axles and a height of more than 1.10 m at the first axle - Class 3
Vehicles with three axles and a height of more than 1.10 m at the first axle - Class 4
Vehicles with more than three axles and a height of over 1.10 m at the first axle
