ACP — Automóvel Club de Portugal (the Automobile Club of Portugal)

A motorists' club with paid membership, not a government office. It runs a 24-hour roadside assistance line, helps with paperwork and legal questions, runs a driving school and sells insurance. The press reprints its weekly fuel price estimates, so the name turns up more often in the news than in everyday life.

Where you come across it. Roadside assistance, paperwork and legal support for drivers, driving lessons; in the press, the fuel price forecast for the week ahead.

It is spelt Club, not Clube. It is a private club: its membership card is no substitute for a Portuguese driving licence from the IMT or for a decision by your insurer.
