Does the German environmental badge apply to other countries of Europe? - Grungy background designed as flag of Germany on shabby wooden board with measure scale

I planned the trip that will cover Germany, Belgium and France. I am aware that there are environmental zones in those countries and I need the correct badge for my car to enter them.

So my question is do I need to buy a badge for each country separately or one (German for example) is enough for all countries? And if one is applied then which one is better to have?



Best Answer

In Germany you don't need this green badge in every town. Forget about the yellow and the red badge if you plan to buy one, almost all restricted places want to see the green one. Plan your trip well and try to avoid those cities for which you need the badge and you have some money left for a nice meal. Uh ! Btw. 5€ is only valid at certain shops in Germany. From abroad you have to pay around €20
