For a Polish carrier in 2026, Belarus is one of the most complicated and risky directions in terms of fees. The system here is ruthless - every mistake in operating the on-board unit (OBU) ends in an immediate and very high fine.
Here is a full breakdown of the costs of traveling through Belarus in 2026, taking into account tolls, border fees, and specific costs resulting from the geopolitical situation.
All motorway fees (M1, M2, M3, etc.) are managed by the BelToll system. It operates based on microwave technology (DSRC), which requires a physical device in the cabin.
Rates per kilometer (BelToll System 2026)
Rates are established in Euro, but payment is made in Belarusian rubles (BYN) according to the exchange rate of the National Bank of Belarus on the day of payment. As of September 2025, indexed rates apply:
| Vehicle category (over 3.5 t) | Number of axles | Rate per 1 km (in EUR) |
|---|---|---|
| Truck / Bus | 2 axles | 0.117 € |
| Truck / Bus | 3 axles | 0.146 € |
| Set (tractor + trailer) | 4 axles and more | 0.176 € |
Example: Traveling with a 5-axle set on the Brest - Minsk route (approx. 350 km) costs approx. 61.60 € in road tolls alone.
Operating costs and deposits
Without an OBU device, you do not have the right to enter a toll road.
| Cost item | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| BelToll device deposit | 50 € | Refunded upon return of a functioning device |
| Minimum top-up (Prepaid) | approx. 25 € | Required to start billing |
| Mandatory disinfection at the border | 45 BYN (approx. 13-15 €) | Payment at border terminals |
| Waiting zone (e-Ochered) | 40 BYN (approx. 12 €) | Entry fee for the zone before the crossing |
Specific costs of “Perecepka” (Transshipment)
In 2026, vehicles with EU registrations (including those from Poland) are prohibited from traveling across all of Belarus and may only enter designated border zones for the purpose of transshipping goods or swapping trailers.
- Entry to the customs terminal (BTLC/others): Cost approx. 50 € - 100 € (depending on stay time and scope of services).
- Permits (if required beyond limits): The cost of a permit for transport to third countries can be as much as 200 €.
Schedule of Fines
The Belarusian Transport Inspection is extremely meticulous. The WIM system and BelToll cameras catch every “beep” (or lack thereof).
| Type of violation | Fine (if paid within 2h) | Full fine (Ticket) |
|---|---|---|
| Non-payment (lack of OBU/funds) | 18.50 € | 260.00 € |
| Incomplete payment (e.g. wrong number of axles) | 18.50 € | 130.00 € |
Note: The fine is charged for every section (between gantries) where a lack of payment was found, which can ruin a company on a long route.
Discover our Route Calculator
You already know the rates and what to look out for regarding currency conversions, but manually calculating costs for a route spanning thousands of kilometers is a direct path to errors. That is why we provide you with a tool that does it for you.
- Precision down to the cent: Our calculator automatically calculates road tolls, taking into account the unique regulations of each country - from the number of axles and weight to vehicle dimensions and Euro or CO2 emission class.
- The choice is yours: The system proposes several alternative routes. You decide whether you prefer to drive faster or cheaper, seeing the differences in travel time and final toll cost clearly.
- Your fleet at your fingertips: You can save your vehicles in the system. This way, you don’t have to enter parameters every time - just select a specific truck, and the calculator adjusts the rates to its specification.
- Real-time cost optimization: By seeing the total toll cost before sending a truck on the road, you can better price the freight and avoid orders that are simply unprofitable at current rates.
Test for free and without obligation. We believe in simple solutions, which is why we offer a free trial period so you can see how the calculator handles your most frequent routes. No “catches” or hidden commitments.
