Does anyone actually know of anyone who has got done for not paying?
We went to Post Office and paid for two trips in a hire car, they had about twenty other none paid against the same vehicle, before we had it, in fact going back over a year, they shrugged shoulders and said nothing would be done about it. That was a Portuguese registered hire car so wouldn't be too difficult to pursue. |
No mate, not heard of it happening to anyone.

Now I'm very confused so coming from the sevillevdirection haveing come down the A22 I just drive on the toll road and come off at my designated turn off and don't bother stopping to pay anything.after that until I go home a month later I won't be useing a toll road for the month I'm here.so if no one does anything it seems I just don't bother paying

If you are not going to use it, other than to come in and out, no I would not bother to pay.

We are driving down from Santander too on the 27th April and I've already decided the the route via Seville is the best option,we'll pay the toll from the border to albufeira at the post office a few days after,but we don't ordinarily use the tolls but will pay just to keep things legal

Well it takes about 5 and a quarter hours to get from Portimao to Torremolinos, with a short break, but that is dual carriageway all the way. No idea what the roads are like from Plasencia Billy?

9.22hrs according to viamichelin.com I'd say that's about right, you might do it quicker if you are a fast driver. lol The roads are very good. Paste the link below and you'll see it.

The roads from Calais al the way to Albufeira via Bayonne Salamanca etc are all either motorway or dual carriageway. We averaged 72mph back to UK last summer and 70 mph back here a few weeks later. The roads are smooth and generally empty. Incidently I went to the Alentejo this week near Beja - the road surfaces reminded me of my home county of Bedfordshire ( and that is not a compliment) - potholes galore!!

Hi Billy
Salamanca to Seville is motorway (no tolls)all the way . Light traffic every time we've used it (10 times). Service areas are not all by roadside - some are in nearby towns so best not too get too low on fuel

Tragic? I'm guessing that should be traffic? Hope so!
