Driving a motorhome in the Netherlands

Motorways, tolls and vignettes

What a vignette is: in some European countries you buy a permit before using the motorways, now often digital and linked to the number plate, valid for a set period instead of paying at toll booths.

Motorways are free and no vignette is needed. Only a few tunnels are tolled, such as the Westerschelde tunnel and the Kil tunnel.

Environmental sticker, ZTL and low emission zones

There is no sticker: access to milieuzones is checked by cameras reading number plates, and the rules also apply to foreign vehicles. Many cities restrict older diesels, while zero-emission zones concern vans and lorries.

Useful rules for motorhome travellers

Outside campsites and motorhome areas, spending the night in a motorhome is often forbidden by municipal bylaws.
