== How do you pay tolls in the Netherlands ==
 
−
Only Kiltunnel and Westerscheldetunnel in The Netherlands are subject to toll charges. All other roads in the Netherlands (Holland) are free of toll charges. HGV (heavy goods vehicles) and trucks having weight over 12 tonnes need to have a valid Eurovignette electronic tag to use motorways in  the Netherlands . To quickly calculate accurate [https://tollguru.com/tol-calculator-nederland toll charges and fuel price in the Netherlands use TollGuru Netherlands toll calculator].

 +
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, you don't need to pay tolls for most Netherlands driving - the country operates a very limited toll system. Only the 3km A24 highway near Rotterdam and two specific tunnels charge tolls, while all other motorways and roads remain free.</p>
 +
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> Unlike neighboring Germany and Belgium with extensive toll systems, Netherlands keeps 99% of its road network toll-free. You only pay on specific routes: A24 (€1.51 per trip), Westerschelde Tunnel (now free for cars), and Kiltunnel.</p>
 +
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2025 Update:</strong> Westerschelde Tunnel became toll-free for cars/motorcycles December 30, 2024. Major truck toll system launches mid-2026 for vehicles over 3.5 tons, but cars remain unaffected.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Netherlands operates a minimal toll system affecting only three specific infrastructure pieces, with the vast majority of driving completely free.</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 avoid Netherlands tolls completely?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, easily. Only the 3km A24 highway and two tunnels charge tolls. The entire motorway network (A1, A2, A4, A12, etc.) provides toll-free alternatives to any destination.</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 I don't pay A24 toll?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">You have 3 days after using A24 to pay online at e-tol.nl. Non-payment results in penalty notices and potential legal action. Foreign vehicles are tracked via European license plate sharing agreements.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Do motorcycles pay tolls in Netherlands?</h3>
−
Only vehicles exceeding 12 tonnes of weight need to have Eurovignette <ref name='vignette'>[https://tollguru.com/toll-wiki/what-is-vignette What is Vignette]</ref> in the Netherlands to use motorways and toll highways. Vehicles below 12 tonnes of weight are not charged tolls in the Netherlands except for Kiltunnel and Westerscheldetunnel.
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Motorcycles pay the same rates as cars: €1.51 on A24, free through Westerschelde Tunnel since December 2024, standard rates at Kiltunnel.</p>

+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No plans for general car tolls. The 2026 truck toll targets commercial vehicles only. Netherlands maintains its policy of keeping most roads toll-free for cars.</p>

Key Reality: Unlike neighboring Germany and Belgium with extensive toll systems, Netherlands keeps 99% of its road network toll-free. You only pay on specific routes: A24 (€1.51 per trip), Westerschelde Tunnel (now free for cars), and Kiltunnel.

2025 Update: Westerschelde Tunnel became toll-free for cars/motorcycles December 30, 2024. Major truck toll system launches mid-2026 for vehicles over 3.5 tons, but cars remain unaffected.

Netherlands Toll Costs: What You Actually Pay

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I avoid Netherlands tolls completely?

Yes, easily. Only the 3km A24 highway and two tunnels charge tolls. The entire motorway network (A1, A2, A4, A12, etc.) provides toll-free alternatives to any destination.

What happens if I don't pay A24 toll?

You have 3 days after using A24 to pay online at e-tol.nl. Non-payment results in penalty notices and potential legal action. Foreign vehicles are tracked via European license plate sharing agreements.

Do motorcycles pay tolls in Netherlands?

Motorcycles pay the same rates as cars: €1.51 on A24, free through Westerschelde Tunnel since December 2024, standard rates at Kiltunnel.

Will Netherlands introduce more tolls?

No plans for general car tolls. The 2026 truck toll targets commercial vehicles only. Netherlands maintains its policy of keeping most roads toll-free for cars.

Do tourists get different rates?

No, all vehicles pay identical toll rates regardless of registration country. Foreign license plates are tracked equally for payment enforcement.
