Do I Need C6 Taggy for Brazil? 2025 Update
No, you don't need C6 Taggy to drive on Brazilian toll roads - but it offers significant convenience and discounts. The C6 Taggy (now called C6 Tag) provides automatic payment without stopping at toll booths, plus access to hundreds of parking facilities.
Key Reality: C6 Bank customers get the tag free with no monthly fees (conditions apply), while other Brazilian toll tags charge monthly fees ranging from R$5-18. Direct account debit eliminates the need for prepaid recharging.
2025 Update: C6 Tag replaced the original C6 Taggy in December 2020, expanding coverage from toll roads only to include parking facilities. Legacy C6 Taggy devices still function for toll roads but lack parking capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I avoid Brazilian tolls completely?
No, major Brazilian highways have mandatory toll systems. Alternative routes exist but significantly increase travel time. Electronic tags like C6 Tag provide the most efficient payment method.
What happens if I don't have sufficient account balance?
The toll gate will not open, and you'll need to pay manually at the booth. Insufficient funds do not result in automatic credit extension or overdraft fees through the tag system.
Do motorcycles pay tolls in Brazil with C6 Tag?
Yes, motorcycles pay toll charges which vary by facility and route. The C6 Tag system automatically applies the correct motorcycle rate based on vehicle classification.
Can I use C6 Tag if I'm not a Brazilian resident?
No, C6 Tag requires a C6 Bank account, which requires Brazilian documentation (CPF). Foreign visitors should use cash or credit cards at toll booths, or consider other toll tag options that accept international users.
What's the difference between C6 Tag and C6 Taggy?
C6 Taggy was the original product (tolls only), while C6 Tag is the current version with expanded coverage including 400+ parking facilities. Legacy C6 Taggy devices still work for tolls but can be upgraded for R$25.
