What are the different steps of my trip on the A79?

When you travel on the A79, your journey takes place in several stages:


  1. You enter the A79 and travel freely, without toll barriers or stopping.
  2. You pass under free-flow toll gantries equipped with sensors and cameras.
  3. Your vehicle is identified using either your electronic toll tag or the reading of your vehicle registration plate.
  4. Your journey information is analyzed to determine the toll amount corresponding to your route.
  5. You pay for your journey:
    • automatically if you have an electronic toll tag or a registered license plate;
    • before travelling on the A79 through a prepayment solution to anticipate payment;
    • within 72 hours after your journey if you use one-time payment.


If payment is not made within 72 hours, a payment notice is sent to the holder of the vehicle registration certificate, including a fixed compensation fee of €10, rising to €90 after 15 days.
