Portugal toll (School boy error)

[Lyrick]

Just tried to order Fulli but will not accept my English bank details then throws you off the page.

How did anyone get around that?

Might look at the Bip and go

Revolut works for us

We are with Nationwide and they don't support SEPA payments which I guess is a form of international direct debit. So we opened a Starling account and the set up the tag without problems.

That's just a pull in for foreign vehicles to register if they haven't already done so online or by toll tag .

Thanks billym, that’s just the information I was needing, the mrs went and registered on the easy toll website yesterday when we were in town, easy enough to do on her mobile, she might as well cancel it now, we didn’t hear the tag bleep so as Ed Pirates said maybe we just hadn’t passed under a gantry.

 

[Rudski01]

I missed the lane with the electronic toll tag symbol after coming over the bridge, should I have gone through this to for my Fulli tag to have activated before carrying on to the junction I left ie junction 18?

Sorry that should say junction 17, but hopefully all good now.

In 2018 I entered Portugal on the A25/A23 which was called "EasyToll " road. You just paid by the mile via overhead cameras clocking your number plate. BEWARE! Unknown to me, the toll ends when you join the E1 to Lisbon and a different toll system begins. Somehow I drove through a non-barriered section and continued, thinking it was still Easy Toll. When I came to a barrier at the end of my trip I found out I should have picked up a ticket when I joined the E1 and was hit with a 88 Euro fine (would have been 20 Euros with ticket).

So just seen the Photo and to me that is a ridiculous way to do tolls and just leaves it open for them to send out a lot of fines.

Is that for foreign vehicles only?

Did you only have to go through that because you didn't activate your tag?

Fragle I thought exactly the same, as I didn’t see the first sign as per pic on post 9 the first thing I did see was these bays to my right,
hence the question should have I pulled in there


But people have kindly put my mind at ease, so hopefully no fines heading my way

 

[Brendan + Kath]

I’m waiting for a fine from Portugal from last November when we had registered but went through a Green lane that I think was a different toll system! Who knows!

We went through a green lane by mistake and although we had registered for the normal lane we were charged for the full length of the motorway even though we had only travelled a bit and were also fined

Well I hope we don’t get a nasty shock! 4 months so far & nothing ! Hope I haven’t jinxed it now!

My Fulli account is paid by Direct Debit through my Barclays Current Account.

I have sorted a Revolut account and card and ordered Fulli ok
Hopefully it now turns up in time

Just in case it helps anyone …
I had an existing UK Starling GBP account. When I tried to set up my new Fulli account, the test payment failed because the IBAN was unrecognised.
Easily fixed by opening a linked Starling Euro account and transferring some money across to it. The Euro account’s IBAN was accepted by Fulli no problem.
I have since used the Fulli tag in France and Spain and all went well.

Hi Freo, Yes that is exactly what I did too. I should have mentioned it in my post.

Open a Revolut bank account online. This is an accepted method of payment. I then check that I transfer adequate funds to pay upcoming Fulli invoices.

We travelled from Spain into Portugal in march 2023, missing the first services (because of HGV in inside lane!). Travelled many miles on electronic toll road. When we reached our first stopover we went to Tourist office to identify how we could pay the toll fees we had accumulated (approx€20). They told us to log onto the electronic toll system, enter our number plate and the fees would show up and we’d be able to pay. We were told that the fees could take 15-20 days to appear on toll system.
We continued our journey on toll road to Lisbon and thereafter we checked every other day for 60 days but our fees never showed up! We’ve checked twice on the website since then without identifying fees to be paid.
No doubt someday we shall receive a fine but I have kept all of our online searches as photos showing dates, etc. so hopefully we shall avoid penalties.

So after reading all about tolls in Portugal and having a Fulli, I think I’ve just made a stupid school boy error, came over the border from Spain thinking there would be booths across the full road, anyhow I was overtaking a HGV and watched as he peeled off right into said toll booth looking area, as we were heading to Tavira we literally pulled off the road a couple of kms down the road. To avoid a fine I can register the vehicle today, so will it have picked my short section up to pay?

Do I then have to remove my Fulli so I don’t get double charged after I’ve registered the vehicles number plate for further journeys?

I've spent many holidays on the algarve, and often visit relations just over the border in Spain so I know this part of the road very well. Do not get a tag or anything like that, that will be picked up by toll booths. If you don't have a tag, do not pull into the layby that says foreign vehicles, just drive straight past, you won't get a fine, the only time you'll be fined is if you have pulled in and registered your vehicle.

We have a Fulli tag and are heading from Spain into Portugal in 2 weeks. Must admit I didn’t initially understand the OP but with that photo I think I’d probably drive down the “foreigner” lane if I saw it. I wonder what happens then? Is there a Toll tag lane once you get there or do you end up having to register and not use the toll tag after all?

Every time I think I understand some other oddity turns up!

 

[Dean2230]

Don't use tolls as sat nav is set to slow mode and I have all the time in the world. So what is the point of reading up about tolls and sorting out a tag for prepayment of a toll etc etc? Then having to worry about paying and removing tag

Interested as we are hopefully heading to Portugal on 28th of this month We are 4t and didn't think we would be covered with a tag?

Mines 4T just done Spain and Portugal. Tags cover up to 6T I used emovis make sure it's in the centre of your windscreen for Portugal. I had mine to the passenger side which picked up in Spain but not Portugal until I re-sited it after running through the tolls in Portugal getting an orange light. Emovis links your vehicle to an individual and a bank account where you pay by DD. Due to being registered it picked up where my tag failed once I re-sited it.

Been there and done that.......unfortunately.

We did last year, we had a letter through the post from a UK company 2months later with a picture of us going through the toll and a fine

Ditto, but several months later.

Well I hope we don’t get a nasty shock! 4 months so far & nothing ! Hope I haven’t jinxed it now!

I'm sure you will from a company known as EPC PLC UK, collecting on behalf of the Portuguese authorities. The admin charges that the robbing bar stewards applied, were more than the fine.

Cheers,

Jock.

When I lived in Portugal I was told the same thing if you don't register you will not get a fine and 10 years later it still works

If you have a Fulli tag and it is working you do not need to register. Eventually (poss 3/4 weeks) it will pop up on the Fulli app.

We have a bip and drive tag issued by emovis Uk . Same with them it covers both Spain and Portugal but does seem to take a couple of weeks to show up on the account .

 

[A-Mech]

I'm having difficulty understanding, do you want more information on using a tag, or do you not need to use one?

Cheers

Misunderstanding about tag. Fragil doesn't use tag as sat nav is set up for slow. There's no point in reading about setting payment for tolls etc, but he's going on trip on 28th but he doesn't think he's covered with tag.

Luckily, he doesn't use a tag and sat nav is set up for slow.

Hope this helps??????????

It accepted my bank when I registered with Mango but when I used it in France they contacted me by email saying my bank had refused it and I paid online by credit card. I don’t know why they will not accept credit cards.

Yes all sorted.

Awaiting Revolut card and Fulli tag. hopefully before we leave.

A question on the revolut card is do you have to transfer to euro to use the card in Europe or does it just bill you? and you pay then.

Either works fine. If you do convert do it on weekdays as there’s no charge.

Chris is in charge of our Revolut, she tends to move chunks, say £400, into euros as and when needed.

With the Fulli Tag make sure you head for a booth with the tag symbol above it, and for some added excitement head for one that is marked with a speed sign... You drive at the barrier at 20Kmh (or whatever the speed says) and the barrier raises..."Do you feel lucky?" (Just make sure it's not also height restricted)

Have fun.

British and Non EU should register at the Booth in the centre on entering Portugal. To the right is for EU and residents.
The A125 to Tavira is not Toll. The A22 is Toll but no booths. It is by overhead camera registered as you drive, and you pay-in Post Offices in a period of time (don’t have the period to hand). Other Motorways may be different as privately owned but usuall all Toll

Thank you, we have registered via the website, although I have a Fulli tag so will use the T lane and see what happens

Now I’m really confused. We have the Fulli tag so didn’t think we had to register. Are there in fact 3 sorts of roads? Non toll, Toll and some sort of special road that has a Toll that’s only payable via the website?

There was another thread about this a while back that I thought had finally cleared it up that said if you had a tag you didn’t need to register but this thread is just causing confusion again!

It’s the Portugal -so sad thread
