To pay the ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) charge in London, the main method is through the official Transport for London (TfL) website or app. Here are the key steps and options:
- Check if your vehicle needs to pay using the ULEZ vehicle checker on the TfL website.
- If your vehicle is not compliant with ULEZ emission standards, you need to pay a daily charge of £12.50 (most vehicle types) or higher for larger vehicles.
- You can pay the ULEZ charge online on the TfL site or via the TfL "Pay to Drive in London" app.
- Payment can be made up to three days after your journey in the zone or up to 90 days in advance.
- For regular drivers within the zone, setting up Auto Pay is advised to pay automatically every month without manual payments.
- You can also pay by phone by calling the TfL number 0343 222 2222.
- Failure to pay the charge on time may result in a Penalty Charge Notice (fine).
In summary, paying the ULEZ charge is done online through Transport for London's official platform, with options for manual payment or Auto Pay for convenience and to avoid fines.
