How does ULEZ work for residents?

If you drive a vehicle that doesn't meet the ULEZ emissions standards, you'll need to pay the £12.50 daily charge. This applies to residents as well as visitors to the city.

However, you'll only need to pay for days that your vehicle is driven - so if your vehicle is parked inside the ULEZ zone for a day but you don't drive it, you won't need to pay.

How does the ULEZ scrappage scheme work?

To help London residents swap to cleaner ULEZ-compliant vehicles, the Mayor of London has funded a £160m scrappage scheme - any resident of the 32 London boroughs or the City of London with an eligible vehicle can apply to scrap a car or motorcycle, and you no longer need to receive certain benefits to apply.

The last scrappage scheme lead to over 15,000 polluting vehicles being removed from London's roads, so the current scheme has been expanded to help even more London residents, charities and small businesses to benefit from the available funds.

London residents can apply for up to £2,000 to scrap a car or up to £1,000 to scrap a motorcycle. For wheelchair accessible vehicles, you can apply for up to £10,000 to scrap or £6,000 to retrofit the vehicle to meet ULEZ standards.
