Mickt Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Has anybody opened a Dart Tag account. I started mine some 6 weeks ago and despite promises have not received a Tag. Every time I speak to them I get the answere that it is on it,s way Anybody got a Tag or are they just playing me along. The lady I have just spoken to said that when you have an account the money is taken off in about 2 hours. My last crossing took 5 days before it went on the account.

Barryrj Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Why would you need a 'tag' when is a number plate recognition system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickt Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 The reason is that when I opened my account I was promise one for each vehicle and since making further telephone calls to them I am told it is on it,s way. When making a crossing the Tag makes a noise when it registers. Looking at the press there seems to be many complaints of people being charged wrong ,ie being charged twice for the same crossing. Also foreign drivers according to the news are being let of off paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave225 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Sanef, the French autoroute toll tag Company are evidently looking at including the Dartford Crossing in their list of useable places, so may be worth a look in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zydeco Joe Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Used the crossing yesterday on way home from France and paid last night on line at a cost of £2.50. As we go over to France 3 times a year but not sure if its worth the bother of setting up an account as we don't always go via Dartford don't like the way things are working with the payments like with the minimum amount in the account and the 12 month rule but as you have more than one car and use it more good luck to you.

Barney123 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 For Zydeco Joe, if you go over 6 times a year and pay £2.50 per crossing that is £15.00, go over using the online system at £1.67 per crossing that is £10.02, Surely £4.98 savings per 6 crossings is better of in your pocket !

Zydeco Joe Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 We don't always go down the M1/ Dartford route but via M40 so it would not work for us well I think not but time will tell. It is a good saving so I can see the reason for taking out an account so if we change our route I will, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
