Forgot to pay e-TOL on the A24: consequences and how to prevent them
The A24 Blankenburg Connection has no toll booths where you can pay on the spot. Drivers must arrange payment either before or after their trip. Anyone who misses the payment deadline risks additional costs. In this article, you'll learn what happens if you pay e-TOL too late and how to avoid this completely with automatic toll payments through MOVE-IZI.
e-TOL payment deadline: up to 72 hours after your trip
You can pay for an A24 toll trip via e-TOL.nl. This is possible from 7 days before your trip until 72 hours (3 days) after your trip. After those 72 hours, the payment deadline expires and additional consequences may apply automatically.
Consequences of not paying e-TOL on time
If you do not pay the e-TOL within the allowed period, e-TOL will send a payment reminder including EUR 9.00 in administrative costs. This amount is added to the outstanding toll fee.
If you still do not pay (or do not pay the full amount), a penalty of EUR 35.00 may follow. The original toll amount remains payable as well, meaning costs can increase quickly.
What to do if you pay too late
Have you missed the 72-hour payment deadline? Follow these steps:
- Pay the outstanding toll amount as soon as possible via e-TOL.nl, even if you have already received a reminder.
- Pay the EUR 9.00 administrative fee included in the reminder.
- Keep your payment confirmation as proof of payment.
- Contact customer service if you have any questions regarding the invoice or outstanding balance.
If you do not pay, or only partially pay, after receiving the reminder, a EUR 35.00 penalty may be added. For a light vehicle, a missed payment of EUR 1.57 can therefore increase to at least EUR 45.57.
Overview of costs for late payment
- Toll amount (light vehicle): EUR 1.57
- Toll amount (heavy vehicle): EUR 9.49
- Administrative costs after payment reminder: EUR 9.00
- Penalty for continued non-payment: EUR 35.00
For a light vehicle, a forgotten payment of EUR 1.57 can therefore increase to at least EUR 45.57. Paying on time or choosing automatic payment is by far the most cost-effective option.
