The Dartford Crossing toll applies to pay dart charge, but the toll rate differs depending on the size and weight of the vehicle. The general categories of vehicles subject to the toll are:

1. Cars and Motorcycles: These are the standard vehicles, and they incur the lowest toll rate. This category includes:

   • Private cars (passenger vehicles)
   • Motorcycles

2. Vans: Light commercial vehicles, such as small vans or vans that fall within certain weight limits, are also charged. These vehicles typically incur a higher toll than cars but lower than trucks or buses.

3. Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs): Trucks, lorries, and other large vehicles that exceed a certain weight threshold are charged a higher toll. The exact toll depends on the weight and size of the vehicle.

4. Buses and Coaches: Larger vehicles such as buses and coaches that carry multiple passengers are also subject to the Dartford Crossing charge. These vehicles are typically categorized based on their size and capacity.

5. Electric Vehicles (EVs): Electric vehicles, while environmentally friendly, are still subject to the same toll charges as other types of cars or vehicles unless a specific discount or exemption is applied. There are no universal exemptions for electric vehicles at the Dartford Crossing, but certain low-emission vehicles may be eligible for reduced toll rates under specific schemes.

6. Special Vehicles: There may be other vehicles that fall into specific categories (e.g., diplomatic vehicles, emergency vehicles, or vehicles used for specific public services) that may either be exempt or have a different toll rate.

The Dart Charge system automatically determines the appropriate charge based on the details you enter, such as vehicle type and registration number. It’s essential to enter the correct information when paying the toll to avoid overcharging or penalties.
