You pay ULEZ online at the TfL website, by phone, or by setting up Auto Pay — payment must be made by midnight on the day after you drive in the zone. The daily charge is £12.50 for cars, motorcycles, and vans up to 3.5 tonnes.

How to Pay

Online via TfL: Visit tfl.gov.uk and use the ULEZ payment portal. You'll need your vehicle registration number and the date you drove in the zone. 2
By phone: Call TfL on 0343 222 2222. Lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 2
Auto Pay: Set up Auto Pay through your TfL account and charges are automatically billed to your card whenever your vehicle enters the zone — no manual action needed. 2

Payment Deadlines and Charges

Payment deadline: You must pay by midnight on the day after you drive in the ULEZ. Missing this deadline will result in a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). 2
Daily charge for cars: Cars, motorcycles, and vans up to 3.5 tonnes are charged £12.50 per day. Larger vehicles including HGVs and buses are charged £100 per day. 2
Penalty for non-payment: Failing to pay results in a PCN of £180 for cars, reduced to £90 if paid within 14 days. 2

Check If Your Vehicle Is Exempt Before Paying

Use the TfL vehicle checker: Most petrol cars registered after 2006 and diesel cars registered after 2015 meet ULEZ standards and pay nothing. Check your registration plate at TfL's vehicle checker before assuming you owe a charge. 3
Exempt vehicles pay nothing: Electric, hydrogen, and compliant hybrid vehicles are exempt from the daily charge entirely — no payment or registration is required. 2
Reduce running costs at the pump: If you're driving a non-compliant vehicle and paying ULEZ daily, filling up at the cheapest nearby station helps offset the cost. CheckFuelPrices shows live prices updated every 30 minutes across 4,000+ UK stations. 1
