We rent a car in Porto, drive through Lisbon to Faro and then return it to Lisbon. The way there is mostly non-highway, and the way back is on the highway. Renting an ETC is convenient and fast.

ETC, the advantage is very convenient, no need to stop.

If necessary I drove from Lisbon to Porto on the toll road.

Just got back, used ETC, the advantage is very convenient, no need to stop for parking. When using it, pay attention to the fact that the toll booth is not at the beginning of the highway, sometimes it feels like it's in the middle. You need to change lanes in advance to find the toll booth.

No, I don't need it. Two years ago, when I went to the Western Portugal highway, there was a manned service for direct payment. Most of the time, there is no one on duty, and you can just swipe your credit card for payment.

We took a detour to avoid the highway. The distance was about the same.
