Important! The ULEZ is an additional charge for driving in London if you drive an older car, motorbike, van or moped. The ULEZ zone expanded to cover (nearly) the whole of London on Tuesday 29 August 2023
The Congestion Charge is £15 per vehicle per day if you pay in advance or before midnight on the day you enter the zone.
If you forget, you can still pay the fee up to three days later but the price increases to £17.50.
You can drive in and out of the congestion zone as many times as you like on the day — you only pay one fee.
The charge only applies when you actually drive your car in the congestion zone during the congestion charge period (7am-6pm Monday-Friday, 12pm-6pm Saturday & Sunday).
If you leave your car in a car park for a few days, you don’t have to pay the congestion charge on the days you don’t use your car. You only pay the charge for the day you drive to or from the car park IF it’s during the congestion charge period.
There are several ways to pay. These are the quickest ways for visitors to pay:
You can pay the Congestion Charge online with TfL. You don’t need to register or create a password but you do need to enter your vehicle registration number and the country of registration. Payment is made by credit or debit card.
Only use the official Transport for London (TfL) website to pay the Congestion Charge. This is the official website URL:

Do not use other websites to pay. They charge more than the official rate – in some cases up to £5 extra. The maximum amount you should pay is £15 on the day, or £17.50 up to three days following the date of travel. Prices increased on 22 June 2020.
TfL has a Pay to Drive in London app to pay the charge. It’s available from the Apple app store or Google Play. The app is free to download.
Call TfL Pay to Drive in London Service on 0343 222 2222 from within the UK, or +44 343 222 2222 from outside the UK. Open daily, 24 hours a day.
