dartford crossing charge

phatbear

ive a had a look on the website and cant seem to find the answer to my question which is this.

i paid for a crossing just over a year ago, as I was due to use the dartford crossing, however due to circumstances i no longer needed to go south of the river, and haven't since, fast forward a year and i need to go to kent tomorrow sooooooo is my payment for the crossing still valid or does it have an expiry date, i still have the original email and it doesn't state that it must be used by a certain date.

You're right, it doesn't say - give them a ring on 0300 300 0120

just got off the phone and apparently the payment only last for 12 months, oddly the day i want to use it is..... 12 months and 1 day later, oddly no mention of how long it lasts on their website and the operator i phoned even had to go and check.

the puck'ish side of me just says use it and argue with them afterwards

When you go through the payment system it says you can make one off payments for:

"Crossings that you have made since 6am yesterday morning or for crossings you are due to make in the next 12 months."

thanks for that, i dont remember that when i paid for the crossing but given i was going to use it the next day i probably chose to ignore it.

ahhh well so much for money saving i guess they will get another fiver out of me then.
