    Advice. Get a Eazypass tag and your van will fit through the Fast Pass lane for the price of a car.

    Just checked, your vehicle is 1.796 mtrs high so you can fit under the 1.9m section.

    I don't think that this is true. When you register, Easypass knows what the vehicle is and if it's taxed as a goods vehicle.

    However, what can happen as what happened with us is that we were being charged at the next tarriff up from a "car van" for a long time. In fact on one occasion a Primastar that we own was charged at 5.95 to go through the East link! It's quite possible that Easy Pass is under charging some sustomers. Enjoy it while it lasts!
