How much is the ULEZ daily charge?
The standard daily charge is currently £12.50 for affected vehicles. Check TfL before travel because charges and rules can change.
How do I check if I need to pay ULEZ?
Check whether your vehicle meets the emissions standard, confirm that your route or destination is inside the zone, and verify that no exemption or grace period applies.

TfL currently provides an online payment window covering up to three previous days. Pay as soon as possible and verify the eligible date directly on the official service.
Can I pay ULEZ by phone?

Do electric cars pay ULEZ?
Fully electric vehicles normally meet ULEZ emissions requirements, but the vehicle should still be checked using its registration. Other London road charges may apply separately.
Is ULEZ the same as the Congestion Charge?
No. They are separate schemes with different boundaries, operating rules and vehicle requirements. A journey can potentially be subject to both charges.
Do I have to pay ULEZ when travelling to Heathrow?
Heathrow is within the expanded ULEZ area. Whether a charge is due depends on the vehicle, route, exemptions and current TfL rules.
What happens if I forget to pay?
If the payment deadline is missed, the registered keeper may receive a Penalty Charge Notice. Review the notice and the official TfL payment or challenge options promptly.
