Prices to rise on M6 Toll

New tariffs will come into force next month but motorway’s owner is also introducing discounts for regular users

Prices will rise next month on the M6 Toll

Prices are set to rise next month on the M6 Toll motorway.

Its owner Midlands Expressway said the cost of using the road would increase by between 10p and 50p depending on the type of vehicle used and time of journey.

The changes will come into effect on the morning of Friday July 12.

Midlands Expressway said the new pricing structure followed a series of product trials over the past year to introduce a wider range of options for local users.

Prices will rise between 10p and 30p for motorbikes and cars, between 10p and 50p for light goods vehicles and between 20p and 50p for heavy goods vehicles, depending on the time of travel.

Current prices range from £1.50 for motorbikes up to £11.50 for large lorries and even more for abnormal loads.

In addition, M6 Toll is launching a new off-peak rate for weekdays between 5am and 7am and 7pm and 11pm.

There will also be three new passes - known as Hopper, Shuttle and Return Pass - which will offer discounts of up to 35 per cent to regular users.
