<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhere is the new London Ultra Low Emission Zone?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe map above outlines the current smaller zone (orange) and the new larger London ULEZ (yellow). You can still drive on the North Circular Road (A406) and South Circular Road (A205) without having to pay a fee unless you drive over the boundary and into the ULEZ area. If you drive a heavy diesel vehicle then you could also be liable to pay the LEZ (Low Emission Zone) charge when driving in Greater London (within the M25) which includes the Circular Roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How will the ULEZ expansion affect drivers in London?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Drivers of older high polluting vehicles must pay a daily charge every time they drive inside the ULEZ. Most new cars already meet the lower emission standards, Euro 4 for petrol and Euro 6 for diesel. If you’re unsure that your car or van is compatible then you can easily check your vehicle online. Just go to the Transport for London website<\/a>, put the registration number in the vehicle checker and it will tell you straight away which charges are applicable. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn some cases the emission and engine details for your vehicle registration can turn out to be incorrect on the database. For example, if your car has a private number plate it could still be showing as a vehicle that doesn’t comply with the standards and you’d have to pay the ULEZ charge to avoid a hefty fine. Therefore it is worth double checking that your vehicle is exempt before driving in London. Information on how to update your vehicle details can be found on the TfL (Transport for London) website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much is the London ULEZ charge?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIf your vehicle doesn\u2019t comply with the ULEZ emission standards you must pay a daily fee of \u00a312.50 for cars, small vans and motorbikes, or \u00a3100 for larger vehicles. Charges are applicable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year round (except on Christmas Day). You only have to pay for the days that you drive within the zone, so if your car is left parked it won\u2019t be subject to the ULEZ charges on those days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can I pay the ULEZ fee?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Payment can be made online in advance, on the day and up until midnight on the third charging day after your journey. Failure to pay the charge on time can result in a fine (penalty charge notice).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LEZ and Congestion Charge<\/strong> zones<\/h4>\n\n\n\nNow, let’s not forget about the other London charging zones. If you are planning to drive to London you could also be liable to pay the LEZ (Low Emission Zone) and\/or the Congestion Charge on top of the ULEZ fee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The LEZ charge applies to drivers of the most polluting heavy diesel vehicles inside the ‘Low Emission Zone’ within the M25 in Greater London. This charging zone is in operation 24 hours per day, every day of the year, except on Christmas Day. And if you drive in Central London inside the Congestion Charge zone then this charge is payable on top of the ULEZ and\/or LEZ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charging times for the Congestion Charge zone is between 07:00-22:00 every day of the week including bank holidays, except for one day of the year (25 December). There are some exemptions for certain types of vehicles, blue badge holders and residents, but you must submit an application to the Transport for London before you receive a discount. Hybrid vehicles will no longer be eligible for the \u2018cleaner vehicle discount\u2019 from 25 October 2021. Only battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will qualify from this date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
