Dartford crossing

Multi_Power

I cannot understand how much do I pay each time I cross Dartford Crossing, can you tell me please? Do I pay each time I cross it, or the return is included in the price? Also, if I find a job in Dartford and I live in Essex, will I be paying less? Is there any provision about that?

That's not quite right ...is it?

Prepay is also £2.50 each way unless you open an account

If you are crossing regularly it's best to open an account. It's cheaper. You pay every time you go through, return isn't included in the price.

If you open an account you can choose to have your dart account automatically topped up from your current account if you want. It's easier than keep checking that you have funds.

ok I have an account
but tell me please
I go from Essex to Kent and I cross the Dartford in the morning
In the evening, I return to Essex and I cross the Dartford again, in the opposite direction
for the whole day I will pay £1.67 or £1.67x2 ?

It's £1.67 per crossing between 6am and 10pm for cars.

So you pay twice.

If you live in either Thurrock or Dartford council areas, you can register as a local resident, in which case you qualify for 20p per crossing (or thereabouts).
