Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to pay the Dartford Crossing charge?
You must pay Dart Charge by midnight the day after you cross. Missing the deadline triggers a penalty charge notice, though first-time offenders are usually offered a chance to pay the crossing fee within 14 days.
Do lorries pay more at UK crossings?
Yes — most UK tolls charge by vehicle class. Multi-axle HGVs typically pay two to four times the car rate. Account/tag schemes at most crossings offer per-crossing discounts for regular users.
Should tolls be included in a haulage quote?
Always. On toll-heavy routes (e.g. via the Dartford Crossing on M25 orbital work) tolls can add several pounds per leg. Add expected tolls to the rate you calculate with the haulage cost calculator.
