If you don’t pay your toll by midnight the day after travel, a UTCN will be automatically issued on the day after your toll was due.
How it works:
If Tyne Tunnels doesn’t receive your toll payment before the deadline stated, we will contact the DVLA to request the name and address of the registered keeper of the vehicle. The UTCN will then be issued to the contact provided.
Late toll payments:
Any payment made outside of the payment window will be applied to future passages, not the one you’ve already made.
Appealing:
You must wait to receive the UTCN before you can appeal the charge.
Paying early:
If you want to pay the UTCN before the letter arrives, please Contact Us for help.
