Apply for an exemption

Vehicles with an exemption don't pay truck toll. Does your truck have an exemption and a license plate from another country than the Netherlands? Then apply for an exemption. Does your truck have a Dutch registration number and does it have an exemption? You don't need to do anything. You get the exemption automatically.

Does your truck have a registration number from a country other than the Netherlands? Then apply for an exemption. You can also apply for an exemption for motorhomes with a registration from outside the Netherlands.

This is something different from a dispensation
Is it a truck that is 40 years or older, or a police or fire vehicle? Then you can apply for a dispensation.
