identificador / equipamento de bordo — toll payment device

A small box on the windscreen that responds to a toll gantry or barrier with its own code, so the toll is taken from your account automatically. The device is registered to one number plate and cannot be moved to another car. You either buy it (€37.50–⁠45) or rent it monthly. In the laws on car hire and on toll exemptions it is called equipamento de bordo.

Where you come across it. Setting up Via Verde, a car hire agreement, an application for exemption from tolls on the A2 and A6.
If the device does not work, a yellow light comes on at the barrier. This is not a fine: the trip is recorded from a photo of the number plate, but €0.32 is added for charging it this way.
