Free Flow tolls have no booths. Cameras and sensors read your plate or TAG. If you do not have a TAG, you must pay online within the deadline set by the concessionaire.
What is Free Flow?
It is a barrier-free toll system. You pass the gantry and the charge is made automatically (TAG) or manually via online payment using your license plate.
How long do I have to pay?
Deadlines vary by road operator and can be short. If you miss it, the passage may be treated as toll evasion. The safest approach is to pay as soon as possible and follow the official rules of the concessionaire.
How to pay online (step by step)
- Open the official website or app of the road operator.
- Enter your license plate and the travel date.
- Confirm the gantries and charges.
- Pay with Pix, card or boleto when available.
Missed the deadline? What now
When the deadline expires, many operators redirect you to a regularization platform. These platforms consolidate overdue tolls and let you pay by plate in one place.
Quick checklist
- Verify the correct gantry and road.
- Double-check the license plate.
- Make sure you are using the operator responsible for that highway.
- Save the payment receipt.
FAQ
Do I need a TAG?
No. A TAG automates payment, but manual payment by plate is available within the deadline.
Can paying late prevent a fine?
Regularizing quickly usually helps. The final outcome depends on local rules and timing, so pay as soon as you identify the debt.
Is payment confirmed instantly?
Not always. It can take some time for the system to update.
Conclusion
Free Flow tolls require attention to deadlines. If you missed it, use the official channels or an authorized regularization platform and keep your receipt for reference.
