Frequently Asked Questions
Can I avoid the toll by taking another route?
Technically, yes. Tower Bridge, Rotherhithe Tunnel, and Woolwich Ferry are toll-free alternatives, but they are often slower and more congested, which can impact your earnings.
Will Uber or Bolt reimburse me for toll charges?
No, but you can include tolls in the fare when using platforms like Uber, Bolt, or FREENOW. Make sure your fare settings and app are up to date.
Will there be ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras on Silvertown Tunnel?
Yes, tolls are enforced using ANPR cameras, so make sure your number plate is correctly registered with AutoPay to avoid fines.
