Check whether the route actually uses the Dartford Crossing
A Thurrock address alone does not tell you whether the moving vehicle will cross the Thames. If the destination is on the other side, ask how the proposed route and any crossing charge are treated in the quote. Do not add a guessed toll to every local move.
Use GOV.UK’s Dart Charge guidance for current crossing requirements. Confirm who will deal with any applicable charge for the booked vehicle and whether it is included. A charge for a crossing is different from a penalty for failing to pay it correctly.

Declare store collections and storage visits as extra stops
If the move combines your home with a furniture collection or storage visit, provide each address and the items at that stop. Find out whether the store or operator requires an appointment, order reference or named person for release.
A seller’s collection window can affect the sequence even when the extra mileage looks small. Have the goods ready for collection and agree responsibility for any assembly or packing. Adding a stop is a change to the requested journey, not simply a new item in the van.
Keep route changes separate from changes to the load
Write down the booked collection points and destination, then check the inventory against them. If one address changes, tell the booking team about the route change. If more goods are added, describe the new load and loading needs separately.
This lets the team explain the effect of each change instead of treating every difference as an unspecified hidden fee. Keep the agreed details available and check the booking terms for additional work; the presence of a crossing or extra stop does not establish a universal surcharge.
