Tolls in the Netherlands: All information and toll routes

Distance-based toll system for trucks
Applies to toll-liable HGVs
Toll charges based on kilometres driven
Toll processing via approved on-board units (OBUs)

In the Netherlands, the toll system supports the financing and development of sustainable transport infrastructure. With the introduction of a distance-based truck toll effective July 1, 2026, the new system replaces the previous Eurovignette. The goal is to create a fairer and more environmentally friendly cost distribution for the use of Dutch roads.

The income from tolls is used to finance the expansion, maintenance and modernisation of the Dutch road network. The Dutch state, which uses modern digital recording technologies to ensure transparent and efficient billing, is responsible for the implementation and management of the system.

A particular focus is on sustainability: The toll amount will depend on the distance driven and emissions class of the vehicle. Accordingly, greener vehicles pay less. The goal of the Netherlands is to make freight transport more climate-friendly and to reduce long-term emissions in the transport sector.

As of July 1, 2026, the Eurovignette was replaced in the Netherlands by the kilometer-based truck toll. The goal was to achieve a fairer distribution of costs in freight transport and to promote environmentally friendly vehicles.

Vehicles subject to toll charges over 3,5 tonnes

The Dutch HGV toll applies to toll-liable trucks operating on designated toll roads. Charges are calculated based on distance travelled and vehicle characteristics such as CO₂ emissions class.

Toll-exempt vehicles

Certain vehicle categories are exempt from the HGV toll, including passenger vehicles, emergency vehicles (police, fire and rescue services) and vehicles used for humanitarian and agricultural purposes – provided the exemption requirements are met.

CO₂-based toll differentiation

The Dutch HGV toll takes a vehicle's CO₂ emissions class into account. Vehicles with lower emissions benefit from lower toll rates, supporting the transition to more sustainable road transport.

In the Netherlands, tolls are paid via different systems depending on vehicle type, which enables simple, transparent processing.

For vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes

There is no general mandatory toll for cars, motorcycles and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. One exception is the A24 where a mandatory toll was introduced.
Payment is made electronically via the e-TOL system, which automatically records distance travelled. This eliminates the need for manual payment, and the toll is recorded transparently and efficiently within the planned billing period.

For vehicles over 3,5 tonnes

The Dutch HGV toll is processed electronically via an approved OBU. Toll charges are recorded automatically and billed per the applicable tariff structure.
UTA customers can conveniently settle Dutch tolls using the relevant UTA toll solution.
