Everything you need to know about the new Humber Bridge Toll System that is going live this weekend

  1. The Humber Bridge toll booths and original HumberTag website have now closed.
  2. All vehicles crossing the bridge are now being directed through the designated HumberTag lanes.
  3. Toll prices have now increased to the new levels. For users without an account, they are now £2 for cars, £5 for larger 2-axle vehicles such as passenger mini buses, coaches and agricultural vehicles, and £15 for 3+ axle vehicles over 7.5 tonnes. The charges for those with an account are discounted at £1.50, £4 and £12 respectively. Crossings remain free for motorcycles.
  4. Throughout Saturday and Sunday, the bridge team is migrating all existing customer data and account balances over to the new tolling system.
  5. If you have a HumberTag account with sufficient funds, your crossings this weekend will be tracked and deducted automatically once the system is live. If you don’t have an account, you can’t pay immediately – instead, you’ll need to settle up starting Monday, February 2 when the new system is up and running.
  6. While the new system officially switches on Monday morning, any weekend travellers must ensure their tolls are paid by midnight on Tuesday, February 3, to avoid an extra admin fee.
  7. After this, anyone crossing the bridge without a top-up account that automatically deducts fees must pay by the end of the following day either online, by calling 01482 235500 or at a PayPoint location. So, if you crossed on a Monday, you would have until midnight at the start of Wednesday to pay.
  8. Administration charges for late payment will rise from £15 to £25 “due to the increased cost of recovering unpaid tolls”.
