Do I pay ULEZ if my car is parked?
Do I pay ULEZ if my car is parked? Even if you make a short trip inside the zone using a vehicle that doesn't meet the ULEZ emissions standards, you need to pay the £12.50 daily charge. This includes residents of the ULEZ. However, you don't need to pay the ULEZ charge on a particular day if your vehicle is parked inside the zone and you don't drive it.
How does autopay work on ULEZ?
Pay Congestion Charge, Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zone (LEZ) charges automatically each month.

Will I have to pay ULEZ from August 2023?
From 29th August 2023 the London ULEZ is set to expand. Developed as part of a commitment to clean up London's air, the London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is an area within which drivers of the most polluting vehicles must pay a daily charge.
What happens if you refuse to pay ULEZ?
An Order for Recovery means TfL will register that outstanding ULEZ charge as unpaid debt with the Traffic Enforcement Centre and will also mean your original charge will increase too. If drivers continue to ignore charges and notices, then the debt process will take place which could see bailiffs at your door.
How do you get caught in the ULEZ zone?
If I don't pay the ULEZ charge, will I receive a penalty fine? Yes, TfL uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to detect entry to the zone. If your vehicle does not meet the ULEZ emission standards, failure to pay will result in a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) of £180, or £90 if paid within 14 days.
What happens if you forget to pay ULEZ first time?
Failing to pay on time will issue a fixed Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) to the registered keeper of the vehicle. This applies to a nominated lease holder of the vehicle if an agreement has been provided by the registered keeper of the car. If you receive a PCN, you will be expected to pay £180 within 28 days.
How does ULEZ work for residents?
Even if you make a short trip inside the zone using a vehicle that doesn't meet the ULEZ emissions standards, you need to pay the £12.50 daily charge. This includes residents of the ULEZ. However, you don't need to pay the ULEZ charge on a particular day if your vehicle is parked inside the zone and you don't drive it.
How long after entering ULEZ do you have to pay?

How many times a day do I have to pay ULEZ?
You will only be charged once per day, so you can enter and leave the zone as many times as you want within 24 hours and pay £12.50 fee once. If you fail to pay the charge, you may be hit with a penalty charge notice, which currently costs £180.
Can you pay ULEZ the day after?

Are residents exempt from ULEZ?
These vehicles are either automatically exempt or can be registered with TfL for a 100 per cent discount, such as residents, taxis (which make up the majority), historic vehicles and vehicles with a 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger vehicles' tax class.
How do you know if you entered ULEZ?
On the approach to the boundary, directional signs show which routes take you into the ULEZ and which don't. Signs are at every boundary point telling you when you're entering the zone. There are signs within the zone to remind you that there are cameras operating.
How many cameras are in ULEZ?
There are roughly 2,800 Ulez cameras dotted around London, although TfL has not released a definitive list. Because the zone was originally in central London, many of the cameras are in the inner boroughs of the capital. Since the expansion on August 29, TfL has installed more cameras in the outer boroughs.
