Van tolls, usually ~50% higher than car. Its connected to tax category not size/shape basically.

Not sure I have a fiesta van thats taxed private sometimes I'll be charged commercial sometimes private thats at the exact coins basket if I go through a manned kiosk it can be either as well got into an argument at one kiosk over it and they eventually gave in

i have a eflow tag so i need to make sure i am paying the correct fee so i do not end up getting a bill for incorrectly paying.

If they charge a tag wrong it's their problem not yours.

If it's TAXED commercially it'll read your reg as a commercial & charge you such.

gman2k

If it's taxed as commercial or private it's tolled as commercial regardless.

kcummins

so i don't have to do anything to make sure it is charged correctly they should pick it up on the way it is taxed

It's not connected to the way it has been taxed, it seems somewhat random.

I have driven CDVs for 10 years +, some taxed privately and some commercially. Have been charged van rates in person, the coin basket always looks for car rate.
