A24 e-toll during the Christmas holidays: carefree payment on your trip or family visit

The Christmas holidays are the perfect time for a family outing, visiting relatives or a relaxing winter drive. The A24 Blankenburgtunnel saves significant travel time, but it is a toll road. The current A24 toll rates apply throughout the festive season. There are no barriers or ticket machines. Smart cameras register your plate as you drive through at full speed.

How do you prevent a payment reminder arriving after your Christmas outing? We explain everything.

The trap after a day out: the 72-hour stress

If you do not have an automatic e-toll account, you must pay each trip on the A24 yourself online within 72 hours. This is exactly where things go wrong during the Christmas holidays.

You arrive home after a busy day visiting family, the boot full of presents and tired children in the back seat. Manually paying the toll is easily forgotten. Too late? You receive a payment reminder with 9.00 euro in administrative costs. If that is also not paid in time, a penalty surcharge of 35.00 euro follows.

Manual payment (e-TOL.nl) vs. automatic (MOVE-IZI)

  • Manual (via e-TOL.nl): after each trip you must log in yourself, provide your plate and pay. Forget within 72 hours and extra costs follow.
  • Automatic (via MOVE-IZI): create one account and link your plate. Cameras recognise your car and toll is deducted automatically. Never think about it again after your day out.

Register once, then pay automatically on the A24.

Christmas trip with a trailer or roof box?

A common question during the Christmas holidays: do I pay extra toll with a trailer, bike rack or loaded roof box? The answer is simple: no. E-toll looks at the towing vehicle. Just make sure your car's plate is registered in MOVE-IZI.

FAQ: e-toll and the Christmas holidays

What if I accidentally already drove the A24 without registration?

No panic. As long as the trip was less than 72 hours ago, you can still pay manually via e-TOL.nl. Note: this does not automatically cover future trips. Then immediately create a MOVE-IZI account so your return journey is covered automatically.

I am visiting family in a rental car. What now?

Rental cars often have no standard e-toll registration. You can add the rental car's plate temporarily to your MOVE-IZI account. After the rental period, simply remove it.

Does my MOVE-IZI registration also cover foreign family visiting me?

Vehicles with foreign plates also pay e-toll on the A24. You can easily add a foreign plate to your MOVE-IZI account so your visitors do not risk a payment reminder.
