You have to do this
Do you own a truck? Then you need to take action before truck toll starts. Make sure you are prepared on time. The truck toll is planned to start on 1 July 2026.
Try to find out how the truck toll will affect your business, and how you can deal with that. Such as the consequences for your finances or administration.
See You will pay this amount for more information on the truck toll you will pay.
Ask for help, for example from:
- a (financial) adviser
- an interest party or trade association
- the supplier of your transport management system (TMS)
To pay truck toll in the Netherlands, you will need to sign a contract with a service provider. This will be possible starting from early 2026. The provider supplies the on-board equipment (called an On-Board Unit or OBU) and transfers the toll payments to the government.
You are free to choose your own service provider for truck toll payment. For example, consider:
- In which countries you drive and whether the provider operates there.
- Additional services offered by the provider and their costs. For example, fuel cards or VAT refund services.
You already have a provider for other countries
Do you already have a toll payment service provider for another European country? Then ask your provider whether you can have the contract adjusted to include truck toll in the Netherlands. Also ask what arrangements are involved.
OBU from Satellic and Toll Collect not usable in the Netherlands
Are you a customer of Satellic in Belgium or Toll Collect in Germany? Then you cannot use their OBU in the Netherlands. Please choose one of the providers that will be listed on the Truck toll payment providers page at the beginning of 2026.
More information
Your toll payment service provider will send you an On-Board Unit ( OBU ) after you have signed a contract.
- Make sure to install the OBU in your truck before the truck charge starts. Installation is quick and easy. The included manual explains exactly how to do it.
- From the start date of the truck toll, only trucks with a working OBU are allowed on the road.
OBU always on in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, the OBU must always be on. So even if you drive on roads where no truck charge applies. This is different from other countries. In the Netherlands, the OBU only doesn’t need to be switched on when the truck is parked.
