Find out if your vehicle meets the emissions and safety standards required to drive in London.
ULEZ Expansion
Does your vehicle meet the ULEZ standards?
The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is expanding across all London boroughs from 29 August 2023.
To help improve air quality, the ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year, except Christmas Day, within the same area of central London as the Congestion Charge. Cars, motorcycles, vans and other specialist vehicles will need to meet the required ULEZ emissions standards when driving within and into the expanded zone, or pay a daily charge.
- £12.50 for most vehicle types, including cars, motorcycles and vans (up to and including 3.5 tonnes)
- £100 for heavier vehicles, including lorries (over 3.5 tonnes) and buses/coaches (over 5 tonnes)
It's important to note that even if you make a short trip inside the zone using a vehicle that doesn't meet the ULEZ emissions standards, you will need to pay the £12.50 daily charge. This also includes residents of the ULEZ. However, if you are are parked inside the zone and don't drive you will not need to pay the charge.
