A22 Toll

Avoid fines and notifications by enrolling in the E-TOLLS service from the start. Highways in Portugal use electronic tolls. According to Decree-Law 84-C/2022, all rented vehicles are equipped with a Via Verde Electronic Toll Collection Device (DECP), linked to the car’s registration number and rental contract, to automatically process tolls in Portugal. The customer is responsible for all toll charges during the rental period. YOR CAR facilitates this process by offering the E-TOLLS service, which includes an additional fee. Activation of the E-TOLLS service can only occur at the beginning of the rental contract. The cost is 2.15€ per day, up to a maximum of 21€ per rental. The toll charges and Via Verde services are the customer’s responsibility and will be charged at the end of the rental contract. Any remaining Via Verde tolls and services may be debited up to 120 days afterward. If the E-TOLLS service is not accepted and activated when collecting the car, and tolls and services are used, an administrative fee of 30€ will be charged, in addition to the debit of Via Verde tolls and services.

We do not operate a full tank policy. We recommend that you call at the petrol station in the airport, open 24/7, before the start of your journey.

Where parents are concerned as to the suitability of the seats YOR provide, we recommend they bring own seats. Return to top.
