spanish motoway electronic tolls
last year I toured France but before I went I got one of the liber-t
electronic toll cards which allowed my to pass through toll booths quickly and easily (especially with the booths on the wrong side for my car). this year I thought about venturing into Spain and looked to see if they had a similar system they have but you seem to get the system from your local Spanish bank (whereas the French just wanted my credit card number). so does anyone know if you can get the Spanish system abroad when you don't know anybody in Spain to send you one?

Andy Is that this system? http://www.viat.es/ Reading it in my flakey Spanish it looks like you have to buy the transmitter, and then they book the usage off your bank account rather like a cellphone account. There's a list of banks as long as your arm but - they're all Spanish banks. There's a Wiki page here http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA-T that says the transponder costs 35€ plus 8€ annual charge. It doesn't sound very tourist friendly to me, but I guess the Swiss system isn't either. I wonder if the French card would work in Spain? It says that the VIA-T cards work on at least some of the French highways. T. |
