The Congestion Charge is an £11.50 daily charge for driving a vehicle within the charging zone between 07:00 and 18:00, Monday to Friday. The easiest way to pay is by setting up Auto Pay. Exemptions and discounts are available too.
The Congestion Charge will not operate from 25 December to 1 January.
You'll also need to check if your vehicle is affected by the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).
The cost of the daily Congestion Charge payments is cut by up to £1 if you set up Auto Pay. There's an annual registration charge of £10 for each vehicle you register.
Have your say on changes to the Congestion Charge
Temporary changes have been proposed in support of TfL and the boroughs' response to the coronavirus pandemic. We want to hear from you. The suggested changes include:
- Increasing the daily charge to £15 and removing the £1 Auto Pay and Fleet discounts
- Extending the charging hours to 07:00-22:00, seven days a week
- Closing the Residents' Discount to new applicants
All other existing exemptions and discounts will not be affected, including reimbursements for NHS and care home workers.
If confirmed, the changes could be implemented from 22 June 2020 on a temporary basis. We welcome your views and you can contact us at yoursay@tfl.gov.uk by 4 June 2020.
A proposal to make permanent changes to the Congestion Charge scheme would be subject to a full public consultation.
