Truck toll in Spain 2026: peaje for trucks and how it works

How Spanish truck tolls work

• System: concession motorways (AP), priced per section. Most of the high-capacity network — the autovías (A) — is free to use.
• Classes: Ligeros, Pesados 1 (two-axle trucks, two axles with a one-axle trailer, three axles) and Pesados 2 (four or more axles).
• Payment: at the toll plaza or electronically with Via-T.
• Still tolled state motorways: the AP-6, AP-51, AP-61, AP-53, AP-66, AP-68, AP-71, AP-9, AP-46 and three AP-7 sections (Alicante–Cartagena, Málaga–Estepona, Estepona–Guadiaro), plus roads of the state company SEITT and some regional toll roads.
• 2026: +3.64% to +4.68% on the state concession motorways from 1 January 2026; the AP-7 Alicante bypass became free under a government decision of December 2025.

An official 2026 truck price

From the Ministry of Transport’s 2026 tariff sheet for the AP-6 Villalba–Villacastín–Adanero, as charged at the toll plaza. On the AP-9 heavy trucks already pay half price, and on the AP-68 the Zambrana–Tudela section has large discounts for heavy trucks; the AP-68 Bilbao–Zaragoza concession ends on 10 November 2026.

Real examples: the motorways that became free

Calculated with RouteCalc on 3 October 2026. The AP-2 between Zaragoza and El Vendrell lost its toll on 1 September 2021, together with the AP-7 between Tarragona and La Jonquera — 477 km in Catalonia and Aragón that trucks used to pay for.

Driving restrictions

Instead of one national weekend ban, the Directorate-General for Traffic publishes each year the road sections, days and hours on which vehicles over 7.5 t may not drive (for 2026: resolution of 14 January 2026). The Basque Country publishes its own restrictions.
