2.10 Electronic Road tolls in Portugal

Refundable Security Deposit for Tolls: 150 Euro.

The Refundable Security Deposit is only a temporary hold on the accepted card. The deposit will be unblocked up to 30 days after returning the motorcycle. If the Via Verde device is used, the cost occurred when using the device and the cost of renting the device will be deducted from the refundable security deposit for tolls.

The LESSOR offers the CLIENT the option to rent a Via Verde device valid for all highways in Portugal that allows him to pay the designated road tolls after the return of the motorcycle.

According to Decree - Law No. 84-C/2022 and Ordinance No. 190/2013 (Article 27), the rental of the electronic device, called Via Verde is now mandatory.

The cost for renting the Via Verde device is 2.23 Euro/day, maximum 22.30 Euro/rental (VAT included).

The charge for the highway tolls and the Via Verde device will be made from the Security Deposit in maximum 30 days from the return of the motorcycle.

Every motorcycle in the fleet is equipped with an OBU device, which facilitates transport on the motorway. It is strictly forbidden for the CUSTOMER to dismantle it or to change the mounting place. It is strictly forbidden for the CLIENT to use his own devices on the rented motorcycle. If the LESSOR finds that the device is missing at the return time, the CLIENT will pay a fee of 50 Euro as is specified in Annex 1 – Penalty costs of these Terms and Conditions of rental.

2.11   Late charges procedure for tolls:

The LESSOR is authorized to do a late charge using preauthorization transaction or using a card-on-file transaction.

At motorcycle pick up time the LESSOR preauthorizes a security deposit of 150 euros which is valid for 30 days. A pre-authorization is a hold on the mentioned amount in the CLIENT’s account. Once a pre-authorization has been done, the CLIENT will not be able to use the blocked amount. While the pre-authorization is in effect, it may even look like the amount has been deducted from the CLIENT’s account, this is not the case, the money is simply ‘on hold’ until a new transaction is made for that amount (unblocking or partial/total charge).

Card-on-file transactions are a charge made on the card for the amount needed to cover the costs for tolls and rent of the Via Verde device. It can be successful if there are sufficient funds on the card or if the type of card supports this type of charge.

The tolls are received by the LESSOR usually in maxim 30 days after the rental is closed. When these are received the LESSOR will deduct any amount corresponding to the use of the Via Verde device and the rent of the Via Verde device by the CLIENT during the rental using card-on-file transactions. If the transaction is successful, the security deposit previous preauthorized will be fully released. If the card-on-file transaction is not successful, the LESSOR will charge the value for tolls from the deposit blocked at the pickup time.

*Note: If at pick up the CLIENT holds only a debit card, or, if the rental is longer than 12 days, the security deposit of 150 euros will be charged and not preauthorized. The resulting difference between the amount blocked and the amount charged for tolls and the Via Verde device will be returned in maximum 30 days after the motorcycle is returned.

The CLIENT is informed about tolls charges through an itemized list with the costs on the email address provided at motorcycle pick up time.

Chapter 12. Late charges procedure

Communication regarding subsequent collections for highway tolls, contractual penalties, and/or fines will be conducted in the language of the country where the contract was issued or in English, as an international language.

The LESSOR is authorized to make subsequent collections using the PRE-AUTHORIZATION transaction (valid for 30 days) but also through tokenization within a maximum of 90 days from the vehicle's return date.

The amount collected from the pre-authorization transaction will correspond to the cases explained in these Terms and Conditions, chapters 2.2, 4.1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, and will be sent in advance to the email address stipulated in the Rental Agreement for the CLIENT.

Upon vehicle pickup, the LESSOR will perform the pre-authorization transaction, which aims to block the Deposit amount in the CLIENT’s account, as mentioned in the Rental Agreement. From the moment the pre-authorization transaction is performed, the client can no longer access the blocked amount. This amount will not be withdrawn from the client’s account but will remain blocked.

For doing a late charge, only one of the following transactions can be performed:
I) Full or partial collection of the pre-authorized amount.
II) A MOTO transaction, which is a card transaction for costs related to damages, fines, administrative costs, penalties, etc. These transactions can be successfully completed if sufficient funds are available on the card or if such transactions are accepted by the card type. In this type of transaction, the pre-authorized amount will subsequently be fully released.

Depending on the bank operator processing the pre-authorization transaction, the actual collection from deposits will be performed as follows:
a) If the amount to be collected is equal to or greater than 20% of the total pre-authorized deposit, a partial collection will be made according to the amount previously communicated to the client.
b) If the amount to be collected is less than 20% of the total pre-authorized deposit, the full amount will be collected, and an immediate refund transaction will be made for the difference.
c) If the banking operator allows partial collection from the blocked deposit in a single transaction, a direct partial finalization of the deposit will be carried out in one transaction, according to the bank operator’s regulations.
d) If the banking operator allows token creation, a remote card debit transaction will be carried out via tokenization.

In the case of highway tolls, fines, or administrative fees applied to fines and beyond, the LESSOR reserves the right to collect the deposit partially or in full or to carry out a remote transaction without prior notice.

For the situations explained in these Terms and Conditions in which late charges are required, the CLIENT is informed by the LESSOR on e-mail about the costs and is charged using one of the transactions described above.

For the cases in which no late charge is needed for the pre-authorized amount, the LESSOR will fully unblock the deposit and will inform the CLIENT regarding this aspect.
