From next month, almost 9000(!) businesses will benefit from not having to pre-pay for their estimated use of the London Congestion Charge.<\/p>\n
Instead, Fleet Auto Pay accounts will pay for actual<\/i> use at the end of each monthly period.<\/p>\n
Sean Conroy, senior stakeholder partnerships manager at Transport for London said, \u201cFleets were either under-estimating or over-estimating usage and then always playing catch-up when settling their monthly account. Now their bill at the end of each charging period will reflect actual usage.<\/p>\n
\u201dWe are in regular dialogue with Fleet Auto Pay account holders, and this was one of the first changes they requested. It is difficult to make changed when in contract so introducing a new service provider was the right time for the enhancement to be made.\u201d<\/p>\n
Transport for London announced the change in contract provider last year in January from IBM to Capita – with Capita taking over day-to-day operation late last year.<\/p>\n
Head of policy for London at the Freight Transport Association, Natalie Chapman said, \u201cIt\u2019s good news for businesses, as it means they only pay for London congestion charge usage and don\u2019t have cash tied up in another organisation\u2019s bank account.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fleet Auto Pay customers, once registered, from June will pay monthly in arrears by direct debit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
