Amsterdam Low Emission Zone

An alternative would be to park at Gaasper Camping which is outside the restricted zone, and go into city by metro from there

Hi Eurotraveller, thanks for the reply, I'm already booked at the other site, will be using public transport when I am there but it is inside the emissions zone. I just find it a bit annoying that it seems even though my vehicle is compliant, I still have to buy a permit. It seems from next year you can't even buy a permit, they are clamping down so you simply can't drive in the zone if non-compliant.

The low emission zone restricts diesel cars with an emissions standard Euro 3 or lower from entering the area within the Ring A10. If your diesel car has emissions standard Euro 4 or higher then your car has unlimited access. You do not need a registration or a sticker. All according to Mr Google.  In fact if you Google "dutch low emission zones" you will be present with a raft of information.  With your Euro 5 unit there should not be a problem.
