Netherlands introduces truck toll: camper owners risk fines from July 1, 2026
Original source: moin.de

In Brief

From July 1, 2026, the Netherlands introduces a kilometer-based toll for trucks over 3.5 tons. Campers with M1 class or SA code are exempt, but automatic number plate recognition may wrongly charge them. Owners are advised to register at vrachtwagenheffing.nl/de.

From July 1, 2026, the Netherlands introduces a new toll system for trucks over 3.5 tons, replacing the Eurovignette. Owners of motorhomes are exempt if their vehicle registration shows class M1 or code SA. However, the automatic number plate recognition system may mistakenly classify them as toll-paying trucks, leading to fines.

To avoid errors, camper owners, especially from NRW, are advised to register their number plate on the portal vrachtwagenheffing.nl/de. A separate toll applies on the A24 near Rotterdam for all vehicles: 1.51 euros per trip. For cars, motorcycles and motorhomes, tolls are only charged on individual sections, such as tunnels.

Fire in Delft destroys property of 77-year-old caravan owner

A fire at the Schieweg industrial estate in Delft destroyed the belongings of Jan van Drunen (77). His boat and truck trailer were engulfed in flames, and his caravan was written off. Van Drunen was uninsured, as insurers reportedly refuse to cover fairground workers, classifying them as caravan dwellers. His son bought him a second-hand caravan, but it lacks shower and water. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
