Detailed FAQ on the rental process
All toll roads in Spain have a special lane marking - PEAJE. Parts of roads with tunnels are usually the most expensive. For example, a ride through the Cadà tunnel will cost about 12 euro.
Highway payment points can be located either at the entrance or at the exit. In the latter case, when entering the toll road, drivers should take a special ticket and keep it until the end of the ride. When leaving the toll road, this ticket is used to pay for the ride. As a rule, payments both by a credit card and in cash are accepted.
In Spain, there is simply no settlement that is impossible to reach on free roads. It should be noted that there are usually no signs that point to free roads in their immediate vicinity. All road signs usually point to toll roads. The location of free roads is better to be specified beforehand by using a map or a navigator.
