The Dartford Crossing charge is set to increase on September 1, 2025, affecting various vehicle classes to better manage traffic demand. The Department for Transport has announced that car charges will rise to 3.50, with discounts available for pre-pay account holders. Local residents in Dartford and Thurrock will continue to benefit from a discount scheme. The increase is deemed essential as the current charges are insufficient for demand management. The crossing, vital for the economy, has seen changes since the removal of tollbooths in 2014.
"The Dartford Crossing charge will rise from 1 September 2025, with new rates reflecting the continuing need to manage demand for this critical transport route."
"Charges for cars will increase to 3.50, and the changes aim to ensure the crossing remains a key part of the UK's infrastructure amid rising demand."
