☛ Good to know
Autovias & Autopistas
The state-operated autovias, the routes on the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands and the motorways are toll-free. In contrast, the privately operated motorways, the so-called autopistas, are generally subject to tolls.
Vehicle categories
Two- or multi-axle vehicles are generally subject to tolls in Spain. This applies to cars, motorbikes, motorhomes and trucks. The tolls in Spain are divided as follows:
- Ligeros: Motorcycles (also with sidecar), vehicles up to 3 axles without twin tyres.
- Pesados 1: Vehicles up to 3 axles with twin tyres
- Pesados 2: Vehicles with 4 axles or more
VIA-T
The toll costs on toll roads are settled via a toll box instead of the usual motorway vignette, as no vignettes are provided for in Spain. This is called VIA-T. Separate lanes are provided for users of the VIA-T toll box, while all other drivers must queue in front of the counters for manual payment (cash or credit card).
Lanes
Tolls in Spain can be paid manually at all lanes in cash or with major international credit cards such as Mastercard or Visa. Bank cards are not accepted at the toll booth.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Spanish tolls
The toll in Spain for the "Autopistas" (= motorways) is paid at the toll booths, the so-called "Télépéaje".
There are several ways to pay the toll in Spain, including cash payment, credit card payment or the use of an electronic toll box called "Via-T". The latter allows fast and contactless passage through the toll booths without the need for cash or credit card payment.
The amount of the toll in Spain depends on many factors, including the kilometres driven on the motorway. For example, if you want to drive your car from Barcelona to Bilbao, you will cover just over 600 kilometres on this route and have to pay a toll of approximately 62.95 euros. With a vehicle with category 2 twin tyres, the toll on the same route is already 104.60 euros.
The toll system in Spain is divided into an open and a closed system. In the open system, a flat rate is charged per toll station. However, most toll stations in Spain operate with the closed system. In the closed system, a ticket is taken on entry and paid on exit from the motorway. If you lose your ticket, you will be charged a penalty and you will have to pay the highest possible amount at the exit station.
