Belgium operates a kilometre-based toll system for goods vehicles with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3.5 tonnes, as well as certain N1-category vehicles with body code BC.

To drive in Belgium, the vehicle must be fitted with a switched-on on-board unit, or OBU, linked to an authorised provider. The device records the kilometres travelled and calculates the corresponding charge on tolled roads in Flanders, Wallonia and the Brussels-Capital Region. The applicable rate depends on the region and type of road, the maximum authorised mass of the vehicle combination — including the trailer —, the vehicle’s Euro emissions standard and, in Flanders, its CO₂ emissions class. The cost may therefore vary along the same route depending on the regions crossed and the characteristics of the truck.

Flanders includes a component linked to the vehicle’s CO₂ emissions class in the toll calculation. The system comprises five CO₂ classes, with Class 5 applying to zero-emission vehicles. A better CO₂ class results in a more favourable toll rate. It is important to check that the vehicle’s CO₂ class has been correctly declared to the OBU provider.

Important: Low Emission Zones (LEZ)

In addition to the kilometre-based toll, some Belgian cities apply emissions-based access restrictions. In Antwerp and Ghent, foreign-registered vehicles that meet the access requirements must be registered in the Flemish LEZ database. Brussels operates a separate system. Having a toll OBU does not mean that the vehicle is automatically registered for access to a Low Emission Zone.

  • TOLL CHARGES

    Belgian kilometre-based toll rates have been set by the regional governments on the basis of four parameters:

    • The type of toll road and the region: the OBU must remain active on all public roads in Belgium, although the kilometre-based toll is only charged on roads and sections where the applicable rate is greater than €0/km.
    • The CO₂ emissions class: since 1 July 2026, Flanders has included this parameter in the toll calculation. There are five CO₂ classes, and all vehicles subject to the system must have their class correctly declared to the OBU provider.
  • PAYMENT METHODS
    • OBU by Satellic Viapass.
    • Multi-country devices.
    • Credit and debit cards.

Frequent questions about tolls in Belgium

Find answers to frequently asked questions about tolls in Belgium.

The OBU must be connected and turned on on all public roads in Belgium, even if they are not paid. The device only bills toll roads, not roads with 0 tariff.

The authorities check the correct use of the OBU also outside the important traffic axes.

If the device turns red and shows any errors, it is essential to stop and inform the corresponding provider. From that point, a grace period of 3h is set to obtain a new OBU or leave the country.

In Flanders and the Brussels-Capital Region, the kilometre-based charge is treated as a tax. In Wallonia, it is applied as a fee subject to VAT. The amount depends on the region, the maximum authorised mass, the vehicle’s Euro emissions standard and, in Flanders since 1 July 2026, the vehicle’s CO₂ emissions class.

€ 100 and € 800.

No. The toll device and Low Emission Zone registration are separate systems. If the vehicle is going to enter Antwerp, Ghent or Brussels, the requirements for the relevant LEZ must be checked separately.

Foreign-registered vehicles that meet the access requirements must be registered in the Flemish LEZ database where applicable. Antwerp and Ghent use the Flemish system, while Brussels has a separate system.
