Bip&Drive Via-T device

  • What is Via-T?

    Via-T is the name of the interoperable electronic toll system found on all toll roads in Spain, Portugal and France.

  • What does Via-T do?

    Via-T lets you pay for tolls or parking without having to take a ticket or stop your car. With Via-T your trip is faster, more comfortable and cheaper.

  • Is Bip&Drive a Via-T?

    Yes, Bip&Drive is a Via-T transponder that can be used on all roads that have Via-T or T signs. What's more, it can be used at car parks that have a Via-T reader.

  • What advantages does Bip&Drive have over other Via-T systems?

    Bip&Drive offers you unbeatable conditions:

    • Free device delivered in 48 hours, with no commitment period.
    • Detailed monthly invoice with VAT breakdown.
    • Telephone or email customer support from team specialised in Via-T.
    • Choice of payment method.
    • Exclusive Via-T discounts for tolls and car parks.
    • No top-ups or balances.
    • No commitment period.
    • Possibility of linking device to Bip&Drive mobility services app.
  • How does Via-T work?

    When a vehicle equipped with a Via-T device passes through a Via-T lane on a motorway, it is detected by an antenna. When the electronic toll device has been read by the antenna, it lets out a single beep to confirm that the operation has been carried out successfully, the traffic light turns green and the barrier goes up. The authorised speed for passing through the toll barrier varies between 20 and 40 km/h.

    If the Via-T doesn't beep or it beeps more than once, this means that there has been an error in reading the device or it has not been read, and the traffic light will remain red and the barrier down. Sometimes, the device might not beep but the barrier still goes up. There’s no need to worry if this happens, as it means that it has been read successfully.

    If you use the Via-T lane to enter a motorway, you must also use a Via-T lane to exit it. With Via-T you don't need to take a ticket.

  • Can I use my Via-T in two vehicles?

    Yes, you can use your Via-T device in different vehicles. However, you need to have a different mount in each vehicle.

    You can request a second mount for your Bip&Drive device for €5 + VAT (pack of two mounts only) on the website or via the app.

    You can also sign up for a second Bip&Drive Via-T at half price by entering the My Products section in your Customer Area, where you'll find our Twin Plan with an annual fee of €9,98 + VAT.

  • Is Bip&Drive valid for all types of vehicles?

    No, it's only compatible with motor vehicles of up to 3,500 kg. It cannot be used for heavy goods vehicles.

    In the case of France, vehicles must not weigh more than 3,500 kg or have a height of over 2 metres.

  • How do I link my vehicle's number plate to the device?

    You can link up your number plate from your Customer Area on the website or in Your Profile on the Bip&Drive app.

    Instructions for the website:

    • Go to your Customer Area on www.bipdrive.com
    • Enter your username (email) and password
    • In your Customer Area, go to My Products, select the Via-T device you want to link to the number plate and click on the car icon on the right

    Instructions for the app:

    • Log in with your username and password
    • Tap on Your Profile in the menu
    • Select the Vehicles option
    • Select Add in the upper right corner
    • Enter the vehicle details and save the changes
  • Can I put my Via-T in the glove compartment or somewhere else than on the windscreen?

    No, the Bip&Drive Via-T must be placed on the windscreen of your vehicle following the instructions provided with the device and/or in the How it Works section of this website.

    Otherwise, there might be communication issues between the antenna and the device, so the barrier won't go up. If you have an athermic windscreen, you need to place the Via-T in the shaded area next to the rear-view mirror or on the windows if they have been designed for this type of device. In these cases, we recommend reading the owner’s manual for your vehicle.

    If for any reason you don't want to use your Via-T, store it in the metal box provided in order to block the signal.

  • What happens if my Bip&Drive is lost or stolen?

    In the event of loss, theft or breakage, please contact us immediately on (+34) 911 113 737. We'll send you a new device for free. Only valid for light-duty vehicles.

  • What should I do if there's a problem with my Bip&Drive?

    Speak to the staff at the toll booth/car park or call the Bip&Drive customer helpline on (+34) 911 113 737.

  • Do I have to top up the balance on my Via-T?

    No, with Bip&Drive you don't need to top up or maintain the balance. Bip&Drive pays for what you use and then sends out an invoice at the end of the month.

  • Can I unsubscribe at any time?

    Yes, Bip&Drive has no commitment period. You can unsubscribe whenever you want, without any added cost, via the contact form with "Unsubscribe Request" in the subject line.

  • Do I have to return the device if I unsubscribe?
    Yes, you must return it to Bip&Drive following the instructions given in the email confirming that you have unsubscribed.

    As a company, there's no limit on the number of devices. You can sign up for three devices via the website or the app. If you’d like more than ten, please call us on (+34) 911 113 737.

  • Where and when can I check my tolls?

    You can check your tolls in the Customer Area on the website or from your profile on the Bip&Drive app.

    Tolls are not shown in real time and may take between one and eight days to appear, as we depend on the motorways for this information. Each motorway provides toll information in a different way and at different times.

  • How can I get discounts on motorways?

    Each motorway applies its own discounts and promotions for Via-T users.

    You can check all the discounts for motorways and car parks associated with Bip&Drive in the Discounts and Promotions section of our website.

Using Via-T in Portugal

  • Can I go through tolls in Portugal with the Bip&Drive Via-T?

    Yes, the Bip&Drive Via-T can be used at motorway tolls in Portugal.

  • How does Via-T work in Portugal?

    In Portugal there are two types of toll roads: Vía Verde motorways and SCUT motorways.

    Both have toll booths with receivers placed in arches or antennas, meaning that you can pay with your Via T in Portugal without having to use the Easytoll or Tollcard electronic system.

    What's more, there are no barriers, so you won't have to stop. However, you must drive through at under 60 km/h.

    We recommend linking your number plate to your Via-T, either in the Customer Area on the website or on the Bip&Drive app, in order to avoid problems with the device being read and the consequent fines.

  • How do I link my number plate to the Via-T device in order to travel in Portugal?

    If you have already registered your Bip&Drive Via-T device, go to your Customer Area on the website or Your Profile on the Bip&Drive App.

    Instructions for the website:

    • Go to your Customer Area on www.bipdrive.com
    • Enter your username (email) and password
    • In your Customer Area, go to My Products, select the Via-T device you want to link to the number plate and click on the car icon on the right

    Instructions for the app:

    • Log in with your username and password
    • Tap on Your Profile in the menu
    • Select the Vehicles option
    • Select Add in the upper right corner
    • Enter the vehicle details and save the changes
  • What types of tolls are there in Portugal?

    Toll roads in Portugal have two types of sections: Via Verde and SCUT.

    • Via Verde: These are similar to traditional Spanish toll roads. Marked with a white V on a green background, the toll is paid in the same way as on the Via-T lanes of Spanish motorways, i.e. with the Bip&Drive electronic toll system, which will automatically raise the barrier.
    • SCUT: These are sections of motorway exclusively for vehicles with electronic toll devices. They are marked out with gantries which, like the Via-T lane sensor, receive a signal to say that you're entering the section. This sensor will then charge the corresponding toll for the section.

    These tolls also have number plate recognition, so we recommend linking your number plate to your Via-T, either in the Customer Area on the website or on the Bip&Drive app, in order to avoid problems with the device being read and the consequent fines.

  • Does my Via-T work at car parks in Portugal?

    Yes, your Via-T device also opens the barriers of Via Verde car parks in Portugal. There are more than 190 car parks in the scheme.

    Make sure that you link the number plate of your vehicle to your Via-T device. The entry and exit systems of these car parks use both pieces of information to raise the barrier. You can check how barriers work at these car parks here.

  • Where can I find invoices for tolls in Portugal?

    You can enter the Customer Area on the website or your profile on the Bip&Drive app to check and download the separate invoices depending on the country where you used your Via-T device:

    • Your Spanish invoice will include the annual fee of the device and all the charges for your Via-T, as well as the other services you have used via the Bip&Drive app.
    • The Portuguese and French invoices will show the charges for tolls and car parks in each country. In the case of France, you'll receive an invoice for each of your Via-T devices.

    In all cases, there'll be a VAT breakdown on the invoice.

Using Via-T in France

  • Can I go through tolls in France with the Bip&Drive Via-T?

    Yes, the Bip&Drive Via-T can be used at motorway tolls in France.

  • Does my old Via-T device work at tolls in France?

    No, Bip&Drive Via-T devices have been valid for all French motorways since 2016. If you signed up for your Bip&Drive before this date, your Via-T will not work in France - please request a replacement by calling (+34) 911 113 737.

  • Does my Via-T work at car parks in France?

    Yes, your Via-T device also opens the barriers of car parks in France. There are more than 190 car parks in the scheme.

  • How much does it cost to use the Via-T in France?

    Bip&Drive has two rates for using the Via-T device in France:

    • Individual Plan: You pay €2 + VAT for the month in which you use your Via-T in France, on top of your annual fee of €19,95 + VAT. This is separate from your actual spending.
    • Flat-Rate Individual Plan: You pay a fixed annual rate of €23.30 + VAT for unlimited use of your Via-T in France, on top of your annual fee of €19,95 + VAT. This is separate from your actual spending. Promotion not valid for Pay per use plan.
  • Where can I find invoices for tolls in France?

    You can enter the Customer Area on the website or your profile on the Bip&Drive app to check and download the separate invoices depending on the country where you used your Via-T device:

    • Your Spanish invoice will include the annual fee of the device and all the charges for your Via-T, as well as the other services you have used via the Bip&Drive app.
    • The Portuguese and French invoices will show the charges for tolls and car parks in each country.

    In the case of France, you'll receive an invoice for each of your Via-T devices. Tolls in France will be paid one month in arrears and Bip&Go France will issue your invoice each month.

    In all cases, there'll be a VAT breakdown on the invoice.

  • What are the reasons behind this new Via-T service?

    This innovative product responds to a real demand detected by Bip&Drive and Bip&Go.

    According to the latest study by the Spanish-French Traffic Observatory led by the Ministry of Public Works, almost 116,000 light-duty vehicles crossed the border between France and Spain every day in 2013, with this number increasing every year.

    Authorise the payment by entering your PIN. You'll see a payment confirmation screen with the saving made.

    If you have any questions about paying for your petrol, here is a brief tutorial.

  • What discounts do petrol stations give for paying with Bip&Drive?

    Bip&Drive has three types of discounts:

    • Gold: 10 cents off per litre.
    • Silver: 8 cents off per litre.
    • Bronze: 2 cent off per litre.

    If a petrol station appears in grey, it means that it still doesn't offer any type of discount.

    The money you save with these discounts is automatically reflected in your Bip&Drive savings account in the app.

  • How do I save money on tolls by paying for petrol with Bip&Drive?

    Each time you fill up, the saving is deposited in your Bip&Drive account on the app. This balance is automatically applied as a discount on the services available via the app: tolls, car parks, vehicle inspections, car washes, etc.

  • How do I know what discount each petrol station has?

    Select the nearest petrol station you want on the Bip&Drive app.

    The map will show you the details of the discount (gold, silver or bronze), the name of the affiliated petrol station (Cepsa, Galp, Shell or BP), the type of payment it accepts (face-to-face payment with QR or numerical code), the exact address and how to get there.

  • Where can I see all the petrol stations affiliated to Bip&Drive?

    Simply select the Petrol Station section on the homepage of the Bip&Drive app.

    The app shows the nearest petrol stations to your location and tells you the discounts you'll get at each one. They're also ranked as gold, silver or bronze according to the discount they offer.

  • Are Bip&Drive discounts compatible with my loyalty cards?

    Yes, this service is compatible with your fuel loyalty cards from petrol stations. Simply show the card to the cashier at the petrol station before authorising payment with the app to continue benefiting from the special conditions of your loyalty card.

  • Can I pay for other products at petrol stations with the Bip&Drive app?

    Yes, you can pay for all kinds of products on sale at the petrol station. Your Bip&Drive invoice will show you these products as "supplements" which are charged directly to your account, as they cannot be invoiced directly via Bip&Drive.

  • Are petrol station purchases shown on my monthly Bip&Drive invoice?

    Yes, your monthly Bip&Drive invoice shows all petrol station purchases recorded in the previous month. It will also show all accrued Bip&Drive euros taken off the monthly invoice and not applied to previous invoices.

  • How is petrol charged to my account?

    Unlike the use of tolls, car parks and parking meters, petrol is charged directly to the card linked to your Bip&Drive Pay account, not monthly in arrears like for the other services. However, these purchases will also be shown on your monthly Bip&Drive invoice, specifying the charge made at the time of buying the petrol.

Car parks

  • How do you pay at car parks with Bip&Drive?

    Simply enter and exit car parks without having to validate the ticket. There are different payment systems at car parks:

    • Via-T reader at entrance and exit: If you have a Bip&Drive Via-T device, the barrier goes up automatically when entering and exiting, and it's Via-T technology that controls the time that your vehicle has been parked.
    • Number plate recognition: The barrier will go up when you arrive at the entrance of the car park as it recognises your vehicle's number plate. To take advantage of this, remember to fill in your vehicle details in your app profile or in your Customer Area on the website.
    • Car parks with Via-T reader only at the exit: Although there aren't many of this type, you'll have to take a ticket when entering and parking your vehicle. You don't need to validate the ticket to leave; simply put it in the exit reader and the control system will recognise your Via-T device and open the barrier.

  • Can I park at a car park if I don't have Bip&Drive Via-T?
