ULEZ Guides

London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) now covers all London boroughs, and driving a non-compliant vehicle inside it costs £12.50 a day. Most petrol cars registered from 2005 and most diesels from around September 2015 already meet the standard. Plenty of older cars do not, and the charge applies every single day they drive in the zone.

The safest way to avoid a surprise charge is to check before you drive or buy. Our free ULEZ check confirms whether a specific registration is compliant in seconds. The guides below explain how ULEZ works, how it has expanded, which cars qualify, and what van drivers in particular need to know.
