Could a short drive to IKEA require a €9 road pass?
This episode explains Belgium's proposed digital road pass, the route it could cover, the possible fine and the legal uncertainty that still surrounds the plan. The proposal is clearly identified as not yet law.
· Status rechecked 11 August 2026. Official information still describes the measure as awaiting final approvals. Read the current updates from Flanders and Wallonia.

Nine euros—before you even reach IKEA. That is the proposed price for 24 hours. Belgium plans a digital road pass from 1 May 2027. It would cover motorways and some regional roads. Cameras would check number plates. No valid pass? €70 fine.
Under the current plan, the motorway to IKEA would count—even if you leave at the first exit. But don't panic yet. This is not law. The final texts still need approval. Could EU law derail it? That's a definite… maybe.
In 2019, the EU's court blocked Germany's road charge, as its proposed tax relief left foreign drivers carrying the real cost. Belgium is trying to avoid that mistake. But its final regional tax rules aren't ready, so no one can say yet if the plan survives. If it does, the next IKEA run could start with nine euros—before you even reach IKEA.
