Description
Do you drive a vehicle that does not meet the entry requirements and does not qualify for a temporary permit ? Then you can buy a LEZ day pass up to 8 times a year. The LEZ day pass grants you access to the low emission zone on the day of your choice until 6am the following day. The LEZ day pass is only valid in Ghent and not in any other city with a low emission zone.
Buying a LEZ day pass is recommended in the following situations:
Buying a LEZ day pass is recommended in the following situations:
- Your vehicle does not qualify for a temporary permit for one week, one month, four months or one year. You can enter the LEZ with your vehicle up to eight times a year with a LEZ day pass.
- Your vehicle does qualify for a temporary permit (e.g. diesel-powered vehicle that meets the Euro 4 standard) but it is cheaper to buy a LEZ day pass in your situation. We illustrate this by means of two examples.
Example 1: You drive a truck that does not meet the access requirements (category N2 or N3) and have to be in the Ghent low-emission zone for only one day. In this case it is cheaper to buy a LEZ day pass (at a price of €35) than request a one-week permit for a truck of category N2 or N3 (which costs €45).
Example 2: You drive a passenger car that does not meet the access requirements and have to be in the Ghent LEW for one day. In this case it is cheaper to buy a one-week permit (€25) as a day pass costs €35.
Conditions
- The LEZ day pass is intended for vehicles that fail to meet the entry requirements of the low emission zone.
- You can buy a LEZ day pass up to 8 times a year per number plate.
- Owners of fairground cars can buy 12 LEZ day passes a year.
Amount
The LEZ day pass costs 35 euro regardless of the type of vehicle you drive.
