When i read some board messages about vans i get the feeling you dont have teo pay much for them .Let me give u an idea how it works in the netherlands .first of all all cars have 4 types of taxation .vat 19% use tax 28% road tax depends on the weight and feul sort .a van like the chrysler you pay apox 250 euros for 3 months on benzin if on diesel feul apox 500 euros per 3 months .than insurance tax 9% .than the fuel price 173,9 euro pro liter for benzin 149,9 diesel 0,79 lpg .
What i mean to say with this is that its almost impossible to drive a van down here unless u are very wealthy .Lucky for me that i can still use a handchair if beeing pushed when long distance .Else i could use only public transport ore call a taxi compagny to transport me ,.i drive a seat ibiza 1.2 tdi station wich has a weight of 1109 kilos i have to pay 256 euros every 3 months on road tax .For me its inpossible to get a van .Than the ajustments they dont pay them here if your working .Only when you live on welfare .lol and they cant pay a car .
Than parking in the netherlands for foreigners its a crime .Since every town has its own parking rules .Let me explain .Eindhoven is free parking .Helmond you have to pay the same as a abled person .Another town says you pay half .Can you imagain when you visit another town what will happen .Ore when your comming from belgium ore germany where disabled parking is free.
here the governement feels sorry for you as long as it doesnt cost them a penny .I was in florida asked a lady from highway patrol if i would get a fine using my europeen disabled parking card sir it aint no problem with your card you can park on any disabled spot .should there be problems go to the sherrifs office .
Well us citicens dont ever do that in the netherlands it wil cost u 320 euros (apox 420 usd).Also if u work here they steal from u untill your on welfare level than you get it for free .
