Liverpool City Region Residents' Discount

If you drive a Class 1 vehicle and live within the Liverpool City Region (with local authorities of Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, St Helens, Sefton and Wirral) you are entitled to a discount on your journeys. You will need a pre-paid toll account and you must not be travelling for business reasons. For all other users the Class 1 toll is £2.00. There are no changes to the toll fees for Class 2, 3 or 4 vehicles for either pre-paid accounts or cash payments.

Escort Fees

Additional charges will be made for vehicles of exceptional height or width which require a Police escort.

From 1 April 2023 the charges will be as follows:

Control of one lane £22
Control of two lanes £50

Breakdown Charges

From 1^st April 2023 the charges for a breakdown inside the Tunnels have changed. If your vehicle breaks down, we will move it to a safe place at one of the tunnel entrances. You can then arrange to have your vehicle recovered from there. If, however, your vehicle cannot be easily towed because of its size or type we will have to arrange a specialist recovery service who will charge you for this.

Unpaid Fees and Tolls

There will be an additional charge of £16 for administrative costs if escort fees or outstanding tolls remain unpaid after 14 days.
