/ FAQ

London ULEZ questions

How do I check if my car is ULEZ compliant in London?+

Enter your registration into the ULEZ checker above. We pull your fuel type and date of first registration from DVLA and compare them against Euro 4 (petrol/hybrid) or Euro 6 (diesel) thresholds. Most petrol cars registered after 2006 and diesels after September 2015 are compliant.

How much is the London ULEZ daily charge?+

£12.50 per day for non-compliant cars, vans and motorbikes. HGVs, coaches and lorries pay £100 per day under the separate Low Emission Zone (LEZ). The charge runs 00:00 to 23:59, so crossing midnight counts as two days.

Where does the London ULEZ apply?+

Every London borough, all the way out to the Greater London boundary, 24 hours a day, every day of the year except Christmas Day. There is no inner-only zone any more — the boundary expanded in August 2023.

What happens if I don't pay the ULEZ charge?+

TfL issues a Penalty Charge Notice of £180, reduced to £90 if paid within 14 days. The PCN sits on the keeper's record, not the driver's licence — check our HPI report if you're buying a used car with previous London keepers.
