Tollcard
A prepaid card for a car with foreign number plates: you buy it for €5, €10, €20 or €40 and activate it by text message, and tolls are taken from its balance. The balance is tied to the number plate, is valid for a year after activation and is combined with the balances of other cards for the same plate. €0.32 is added to each trip.
Where you come across it. Driving around Portugal in a car with foreign plates when you would rather not link a bank card.
Not valid on the Lusoponte bridges. If Tollcard and EasyToll are both active on the same plate, Tollcard is used and EasyToll is simply not charged.
