Planning a trip to Spain? On this page you will find information about motorway vignettes, toll payment methods and rules for driving on paid roads.

Driving on the road

The Spanish government’s 2026 page states: no vignettes (time-based charges) exist in Spain. Older notes that claimed one were wrong. Official list: administracion.gob.es peajes y viñetas.

Only distance peaje on listed AP / concession roads. Autovías (A) are generally free. Pay VIA-T, card or cash; some Basque stretches are free-flow ANPR.

The AP-7 Alicante ring has been free since December 2025. SEITT radials (R-2/R-3/R-4/R-5 and some others) are free every night 00:00–06:00.

Madrid ZBE and Barcelona ZBE are access rules, not a road vignette. Foreign cars entering Barcelona’s ZBE must register in the metropolitan register before they go in.

Green Card required for foreign and UA-registered cars.

No national EV motorway discount. Local only: Catalonia C-32 ECO Eléctrico 75% on weekdays with VIA-T (register at ecoviat.com); Bizkaia (Interbiak) 25% for accredited EVs paying with OBE.
