Re: Toll query.
Am I missing something here? I thought this thread was about the toll on the A22 yet the last four posts are taking us on a tour of Scotland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Threads have a way of changing direction, always have and always will. They come back off the diversion sooner or later :-)

Re: Toll query.
Just for clarity, the A22 tolls have not been abolished, despite an online article on April 1st suggesting that they have.

Re: Toll query.
That must be nice overlooking the river, even in the rain. Are you in Ayamonte rather than Costa Esuri?
Mary, on the balcony, no rain!

Re: Toll query.
There has been no removal or reduction in the A22 tolls. Lots of pre-election talk, rumours, wishful thinking and a very plausible April Fool's Day report.

Re: Toll query.
Thanks I thought as much.I actually don t mind paying the toll fee its the transponder fee from the car hire companies that annoys me.If only they had a credit /debit card system so could just pay the tolls .One day perhaps .Especially these days you can flash a mobile phone app to a shop/bar etc and pay your bill.A simpler system should be offered to non Portugese .

EasyToll for foreigners is exactly what you describe. Just flash your CC (or rather stick it in a slot once) and you can drive unlimited for 30 days.
The rentco charge of 5€ for Portuguese cars doesn't seem much as they have to pay for the transponder and have the extra administrative cost of paying the tolls for you. I suppose they could bundle it in so you don't have a choice but at least they give you the option. To be fair I think they have done a good job since the tolls first started.
