    There are now even more ways of paying the Dart Charge, according to road bosses.

    A new pay as you go system has been launched, while there is also the option to pay for a single crossing using the ‘Pingit’ app on their iOS, Android or Windows smartphone.

    The new methods are in addition to the options that were introduced after cash payments at barriers were removed last November.

    Dart Charge project director Nigel Gray said: "Dart Charge already gives drivers flexibility about how and when they pay the Dartford Crossing charge.

    "These new payment methods are part of our commitment to offer people even more choice and an even better Dart Charge service.

    "The pay as you go option is ideal for people who don’t want to have a prepay account but still want to be able to pay the charge automatically each time they use the crossing.

    "And Pingit is a convenient extra way to pay for single crossings."

    The new services can be accessed when drivers visit the Dart Charge website at www.gov.uk/dart-charge.

    In line with existing pay per crossing options these new services are charged at the standard crossing rate. Only pre-pay accounts offer a discount of up to one third on each crossing.
