Maybe 4 weeks is the maximum time span between the outgoing and return journeys - we were away for 2 weeks and the assistant just put in the dates I gave her. I didn't think to ask and she didn't...

Re: Motorway Toll Law Passed

As I said not absolutely sure of the distinction from her Portuguese/English explanation so probably best to pay them a visit and get confirmation. As you say it's still a car rather than transit van...

Re: Motorway Toll Law Passed

Of course that makes sense - we're going to the airport next week so will all become clear. Unless the vigilantes have burnt all the gantries by then!!

According to the APCAP link it says "the vehicle height measured vertically as from first axle" isn't that what I've done? Until some Portuguese official tells me differently I'm going with Class 1.

Re: Motorway Toll Law Passed

Hi guys, I think it might be the height from the ground to the bonnet at the front axle i.e. Class 1 is less than 1.10m, Class 2 more than 1.10m. I have a Grand Vitara 4x4 and it's 1.05m - when we...

Re: Motorway Toll Law Passed

I believe Class 1 is €5.00 one way as there's only 3 toll sections between Tavira and the Airport off slip.
