End of toll: savings reach R$36.80 per day

Beira Interior “celebrates” more: the biggest savings are found on the A23. For light cars, there can be savings of practically 15 euros per day.

New Year, trips with new prices, more specifically with regard to trips taken in the old SHIELD which are now just that again: at no cost to users.

Since this Wednesday, January 1st, seven motorways (or sections) no longer have tolls.

To list: A13 e A13-1 (Interior Pine Forest), A22 (Algarve), A25 (Beiras Litoral and Alta), A23 (Beira Interior), A4 (Transmontana and Marão Tunnel) A24 (Interior North) and A28 (between Esposende-Antas and between Neiva-Darque).

As biggest savings are on the A23one of the largest highways in the country, which connects Torres Novas to Guarda.

Accounts show that drivers of light (class 1) you save up to 7.40 euros per trip. In other words, a saving of practically 15 euros per day, if you travel back and forth along this entire highway.

The biggest savings of all also occur on the A23, but for class 4 – vehicles with four or more axles. These vehicles save 18.40 euros per trip, 36.80 euros per day.

At the limit, a driver of a class 4 vehicle would save almost 9,000 euros per year (but it would be necessary to travel the entire A23, in both directions, and on every working day…).

A A25 has similar numbers: 6.70 euros per trip for cars, 17 euros for class 4.

A lower savings test-if a A4, which even if you combine the old gates of Quintanilha and Túnel do Marão, it costs 1.20 euros per trip for class 1; and a maximum of 2.95 euros per trip for class 4.

However, in general tolls should increase 2.2% throughout 2025. On the main highway, A1, between Lisbon and Porto, a trip costs 70 cents – passenger cars will pay 24.60 euros for the trip.
