Municipality of Arnhem: apply for an exemption to access to a low emission zone
Passenger and vans with diesel engines
The municipality has an environmental zone for passenger cars with diesel engines. Passenger cars with diesel engines are only allowed to enter the environmental zone if they have emission class 4 or higher. This also applies to cars with a foreign vehicle registration certificate.
You can apply for a day exemption or a long-term exemption (3 years).
Freight traffic
The environmental zone also applies to trucks in the municipality. Trucks are only allowed to enter the environmental zone if they have an emission class of 6 or higher. This also applies to vehicles with a foreign vehicle registration certificate. In some cases, you can apply for an exemption for freight traffic to gain access to the environmental zone.
Change or renew exemption
You can change or renew your exemption at parkeerservice P1 via parkeerservicearnhem@p1.nl or 026-3775900.
Apply for an exemption before entering the environmental zone. Exemptions cannot be applied for afterwards.
Day exemption
- A day exemption can be applied for by anyone for all types of diesel passenger cars with emission class 3 or below.
- You can apply for a day exemption for a maximum of 12 days per year per vehicle registration certificate.
- The exemption starts at 0.00 am and ends at 6.00 am the following day. The day exemption is therefore valid for 30 hours.
- You can apply for a day exemption for several consecutive days.
Adapted car for use by or to transport people with a disability
If your diesel passenger car or van has been modified for an amount of €500 or more, you can apply for a long-term exemption.
If you have dispensation in Arnhem, it is also valid in other municipalities with an environmental zone. The waiver is valid for 3 years.
Hardship clause exemption
This possibility is intended for individual distressing cases. To qualify for this, you must properly substantiate your application. Therefore, indicate:
- Why it is necessary for you to be in the environmental zone and why it is not possible for you to use a day exemption. If you are a market operator in the city centre, proof of participation in the goods market is required.
- Why it is not financially possible for you to buy another vehicle now (with supporting documents).
- When it is possible for you to buy another vehicle.
You can apply for a day exemption or long-term exemption for the environmental zone for cars or vans at parkeerservicearnhem@p1.nl.
- Day exemption: € 37,25 per application.
- Long-term exemption: € 51,75
- Hardship clause exemption: € 291,75
- Extension or modification of a granted exemption: € 96,20
You pay the costs directly at the time of your application.
You will receive a response within 3 working days of your request.
