For those who drive down via Dover / channel tunnel and then head north / south over the Dartford crossing on the M25 you will be interested to know that the tolls have been replaced with a prepay or pro pay system similar to the conjestion charge in London.
When you cross, the toll booths will have gone and number plate cameras record your vehicle details. You must then make the appropriate payment by midnight the following day, unless you have organised a prepay account via the website. Payments can also be made in your home town at payplus outlets, either before or after your crossing.
I have just found out about this and am about to travel down, so just in time to avoid a hefty fine for not knowing.

 of all the replies sent on this post, no one has mentioned the west coast route down through france. We do this all the time now after trying many of the other routes. We use the non toll route down to Bordeaux and around the mountains at the French /Spanish border. We have an overnight stop at Bordeaux, which gives us a 12 hour driving day through France and 10 hours to the Costa Blanca without exceeding the speed limits. Hotels are mostly dog friendly, we used to bring our cat, for a small extra charge. We use the tunnel and catch an early crossing 7 -8 am. There are lots of roadworks on the route from Bordeaux to Bayonne but they didnt slow us down much as they are well managed. 

Should you require any further info please pm me

Does anyone know of a website that will look for the best price flights from all the airlines flying out of Alicante to the UK, without having to look through all the airlines seperately.
