1. Toll road
A toll road is a road, motorway, bridge, tunnel or other route for which users must pay a charge. The toll may apply to all vehicles or only to particular vehicle categories, and the amount can depend on factors such as distance travelled, vehicle type, weight or emissions.
Tolls may be collected at toll booths, electronically or through a vignette or distance-based charging system. Drivers should check the applicable payment rules before using a toll road, especially when travelling in another country.
Do passenger cars have to pay motorway tolls in Belgium?
Generally, no. Belgium does not operate a general motorway toll system for passenger cars. However, charges can apply to specific infrastructure, such as the Liefkenshoek Tunnel near Antwerp.
Is the Liefkenshoek Tunnel a toll route?
Yes. Vehicles using the Liefkenshoek Tunnel must normally pay a toll. The amount and available payment methods depend on the vehicle and payment method.
Do heavy goods vehicles pay road tolls in Belgium?
Yes. Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes that are intended or used for carrying goods are generally subject to Belgium's kilometre charge. An approved on-board unit records the kilometres travelled on roads subject to the charge.
