Birmingham CAZ questions
Is my car compliant with Birmingham's CAZ?+
Use the ULEZ checker above — the Euro standards Birmingham uses are identical to London (Euro 4 petrol, Euro 6 diesel). If you're compliant in London, you're compliant in Birmingham.
How much is the Birmingham CAZ daily charge?+
£8 per day for non-compliant cars, taxis, vans and LGVs. £50 per day for non-compliant HGVs, coaches and buses. Pay on GOV.UK within 6 days before or after the journey.
What area does Birmingham CAZ cover?+
Everything inside the A4540 Middleway, including the city centre, Bullring, Mailbox and most of Digbeth. Driving on the Middleway itself does not trigger a charge.
