<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Do I need to pay tolls to drive through Belgium?</h3>
 
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, if you're driving a car, motorcycle, or vehicle under 3.5 tons, Belgium highways are toll-free. Only the Liefkenshoek tunnel near Antwerp charges €7 for cars.</p>
 
 
 
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">What happens if my truck doesn't have an OBU?</h3>
 
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Driving without an active OBU results in €1,000 fines per region. Belgium has extensive enforcement with 40 control bridges, 22 mobile cameras, and regular police checks.</p>
 
 
 
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I use my German or French toll device in Belgium?</h3>
 
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, if your current OBU provider is a business partner with Viapass. Many providers offer multi-country coverage including Belgium. Contact your provider to activate Belgium coverage.</p>
 
 
 
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Are there vignettes in Belgium?</h3>
 
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, Belgium abolished vignettes in 2016. The country now uses distance-based charging for HGVs only. Cars drive toll-free without any vignette requirements.</p>
 
 
 
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">How much does Belgium toll cost for trucks?</h3>
 
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Typical costs range from €0.10-0.15 per kilometer depending on vehicle weight, Euro emission class, and region. A truck driving 500km across Belgium pays approximately €50-75.</p>
