Tolls and payment on the way to the Charleroi car park

On the road

Touring states that Belgian motorways are toll-free and that only the Liefkenshoek tunnel, on Antwerp's R2, is charged. For a car under 3 metres high, the official rate per passage is as follows:

• in 2026: €4.40 with a Teletol badge, €6.20 by card, €8 in cash
• in 2027: €4.49 with a badge, €6.32 by card, €8 in cash

From 3 metres, the rate changes: a motorhome or a van with a roof load may fall into this category.

The vignette announced for 2027

Touring reports a plan for a digital vignette from 1 May 2027, for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, with sales planned from 1 March 2027. According to Touring, this is an intention: the timetable and details may still change.

So you do not need to allow for it on a trip before then. For a departure from May 2027 onwards, check again just beforehand.

Paying at the airport car parks

The airport accepts payment by Visa, Mastercard, Maestro and Bancontact. It invites you to pay at the 20 automatic pay stations, or to book and pay online on e-Parking, which advertises a time saving with no stop at a pay station.

If there is a problem at a pay station, use the intercom or call +32 71 251 853. The pages read do not mention paying in cash.

Paying at our five car parks

Their websites show Visa, Bancontact, iDEAL and Klarna online, with payment going through Stripe. Three points to know:

• the airport tax of €10 per vehicle is paid on site on arrival, and the summary states it before payment
• if the booking was not paid online, you pay at the car park on arrival
• changing the period leads to a supplement per day, according to the table displayed at reception

Flyparking and Jet Park show prices including tax: even so, look at the tax line in the summary to see what remains to be paid on site. The pages read do not say how to pay on site: ask the car park if you do not have a card with you.
