What's Lez Charge Zone?

A low-emission zone (LEZ) is a defined area where access by some polluting vehicles is restricted or deterred with the aim of improving air quality. This may favour vehicles such as (certain) alternative fuel vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and zero-emission vehicles such as all-electric vehicles.

Do I have to pay LEZ charge?

We prefer that your vehicle meets the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) standards so you don't have to pay the charge. If you do need to pay, charging days run from midnight to midnight, every day of the year. You can pay for up to three previous charging days, today or any day up to 90 days in the future.

How does the LEZ charge work?

The Low Emission Zone operates every day of the year, including weekends and public holidays. Daily charges should be paid by midnight on the next working day after the first day of travel. ... Vehicles parked in the zone but not driving are not subject to LEZ charges for that day.
