Is my car ULEZ compliant?

Enter your number plate to find out instantly whether you'll be charged £12.50 a day to drive in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone.

What is the ULEZ?

The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers almost all of Greater London. Vehicles that don't meet its emissions standard are charged £12.50 for every day they drive within the zone — and if you forget to pay, the penalty is £180.

The standard, in short: petrol cars generally need to be Euro 4 or newer (roughly 2006 onwards), and diesels Euro 6 or newer (roughly September 2015 onwards). Fully electric and hydrogen vehicles are always compliant.

Driving in London? Don't stop at ULEZ.

Even a ULEZ-compliant car gets charged for the Congestion Charge and the Blackwall & Silvertown tunnels — each with its own deadline and its own fine. Snaptoll is built to handle it all automatically — join the waitlist and we'll tell you the moment it's live.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my car is ULEZ compliant?

Enter your number plate above. We check DVLA records for your fuel type and emissions (Euro) standard. Broadly, petrol cars meet ULEZ if they're Euro 4+ (roughly 2006 on) and diesels if Euro 6 (roughly Sept 2015 on). Fully electric cars are always compliant.

How much is the ULEZ charge if my car isn't compliant?

£12.50 per day for a non-compliant car, for every day you drive in the London ULEZ. Miss a payment and the penalty is £180 (reduced to £90 within 14 days).

Is this checker official?

No — it's a fast guide based on DVLA records. Always confirm on TfL's own ULEZ checker before relying on it, especially if the result is shown as an estimate.
