ULEZ Calculator

The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers all London boroughs (expanded from August 2023). Non-compliant vehicles must pay £12.50 per day. The charge operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Compliant vehicles are Euro 6 diesel (September 2015+) and Euro 4 petrol (January 2006+). All electric and hydrogen vehicles are exempt.

Use the TfL vehicle checker at tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check-your-vehicle. Enter your registration number to see if your vehicle meets ULEZ standards. Generally: petrol cars from 2006+ and diesel cars from September 2015+ are compliant. You can also check your V5C document for the Euro emission standard.

TfL offers a scrappage scheme of £2,000 for cars and £1,000 for motorcycles for eligible London residents and small businesses. You must scrap the non-compliant vehicle (not sell it). Eligibility criteria include receiving certain benefits or meeting income thresholds. Grace periods and exemptions are available for disabled people and some charities.

If you drive a non-compliant vehicle in the ULEZ without paying, you receive a Penalty Charge Notice of £180 (reduced to £90 if paid within 14 days). Payment must be made by midnight the following day. You can set up Auto Pay to be charged automatically when cameras detect your vehicle.

Yes, unlike the Congestion Charge, ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. There is no off-peak period. If your vehicle is non-compliant and you drive within any London borough at any time, the £12.50 charge applies.
