Paying the Dutch truck charge

Types of provider

• EETS providers operate in several countries and often offer extra services, such as fuel cards or VAT refunds. You will probably pay extra for the unit.
• The national provider (NedLinq) operates only in the Netherlands. You pay no extra costs for the unit, but you do pay a deposit.

The RDW supervises the providers.

Without an on-board unit

If you go on the road without an on-board unit, you can be fined. This also applies if you only drive on roads where no charge applies. If you disagree with a fine or a decision, you can lodge an objection.

Know in advance what you will pay

The invoice comes afterwards from your provider. If you want to know beforehand what a trip costs, for example for a quote, calculate it with Tolmijden. See calculate the Dutch truck charge and passing on the Dutch truck charge.
