And after that?

From 01-01-2027 the discount ends. The rates of 01-07-2026 then apply, increased by 2.6% indexation. A trip you plan now for January will therefore cost noticeably more. See Dutch truck charge 2027.

Calculating with and without the discount

In the Tolmijden route planner the discount is switched on by default while it applies. With a single switch you calculate without the discount, for example for a quote that runs past the turn of the year.

Does the discount apply to every truck?
