Enter your number plate to check whether you'll be charged to drive in an English Clean Air Zone — and which cities actually charge private cars.
Clean Air Zones charge older, more-polluting vehicles in certain English cities. The emissions standard is the same as the London ULEZ: petrol Euro 4+, diesel Euro 6+.
For a private car, only the Birmingham and Bristol zones actually charge you (around £8 a day). The other English CAZ cities — Bath, Bradford, Sheffield, Portsmouth and Tyneside — only charge vans, taxis, buses and lorries, not private cars.
Clean Air Zones, ULEZ, the Congestion Charge, the Dartford Crossing — each is a separate account and a separate deadline. Snaptoll handles it all automatically, so there's no deadline for you to track.
For private cars, only Birmingham and Bristol charge (around £8/day for a non-compliant car). Bath, Bradford, Sheffield, Portsmouth and Tyneside are Class C/B zones that only charge vans, taxis, HGVs and buses.
The same as ULEZ: petrol cars need to be Euro 4 or newer, diesels Euro 6 or newer. Electric and hydrogen cars are always compliant.
A Penalty Charge Notice of around £120, on top of the missed daily charge. You usually have until 6 days after driving to pay.
