Tolls in Spain
Driving on Spanish motorways
Driving on Spanish motorways
Welcome to toll country Spain! Here, nearly all motorways, identified by AP (for Autopista), are subject to tolls. Therefore, it is important to get information beforehand if you travel by car. On the positive side: Urban motorways such as in Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia, Alicante, and others are toll-free. The urban motorway in Madrid, on the other hand, is partially subject to charges. This in itself may seem a bit confusing, but should not keep you from driving through the country. As in France, the toll is mandatory for all vehicles.
The Spanish toll system
Charge collection on Spanish motorways
In Spain, the toll is collected through a closed toll system with entries and exits. The toll is calculated based on the covered route and the vehicle category. In some parts, there is a flat-rate toll charge for some sections regardless of the vehicle category.
Classification of vehicle categories:
The toll in Spain can be settled in cash or by credit card at the toll booth or automatically very conveniently and without an unnecessary stop using an on-board unit. For this purpose, you have to drive through specific lanes marked "Télépeaje", "T", or "Via T".
