Useful Information for Your Trip in Portugal

Refuelling

Before you leave, remember to fill up your tank. Prices tend to be higher on motorways than in the city. Refuelling in your starting location is often more economical and saves you time on the road.

Roadside Assistance

In the event of a breakdown, the most important thing is to stay calm. If you are on the motorway, pull over safely to the side of the road and clear the lane. Put on your mandatory reflective vest. If possible, head to the nearest emergency call box to be located quickly. You can also contact your insurance or local roadside assistance services to have them tow you to a safe location.
