. Last edit by Joao on 20/05/2020.Auto Rent now provides a service that allows you to drive on the A-22 without worries!
The A-22 Motorway has automatic tolls that charge when you drive under the gates spread between the exits.
Introducing the E-Tolls extra
- You pay €1.90/day, up to €19.00 per rental for the rental of the device
- You're free to drive around on the A-22 and avoid traffic on the N-125
- When you return the car, you only pay for the tolls you used
- No pre-pay, no extra costs, no tolls in your mail
Should you choose not to use our E-Tolls service, any tolls that are not paid will be sent to your home address, and you will be charged an administration fee by the highway company.
Please note that due to the tolling company stating that it can present tolls up to 15 days later, some charges may come after your departure, but we will contact you should that happen.
