SWAP YOUR VEHICLE FOR A ULEZ COMPLIANT CAR AND AVOID ADDITIONAL CHARGES - NOW IS THE TIME!

To help clear London's air and improve health, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is expanding across all London boroughs from 29th August 2023!

If you operate a non ULEZ compliant car you will be faced with ULEZ charges if you drive anywhere within the ULEZ zones including the expanded area across all London boroughs from the 29th August 2023. This basically means you could face a daily charge of £12.50 with a non ULEZ compliant car.

Most petrol vehicles under 16 years old or diesel under 6 years old already meet the emissions standards.

If you were unaware, or are looking to avoid these charges, then now is the perfect time to swap you current car.

WJ King Group have a massive selection of brand-new, nearly-new and quality approved used, ULEZ compliant cars available!

We have introduced this page to help you understand the up and coming changes in the Ultra Low Emission Zones.
A great place to start is to check your current car, the easiest way to check is to use the Government's vehicle checker:

CHECK MY CURRENT CAR

Who is affected?

Cars, motorcycles, vans and other specialist vehicles such as motorised horseboxes and pickups (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) and minibuses (up to and including 5 tonnes) whether petrol or diesel, will need to meet the ULEZ emissions standards or a daily charge will need to be paid.

9 out of 10 cars seen driving in outer London already meet the standards, but if you’re one of the few who drive a petrol vehicle over 16 years old, or a diesel vehicle over 6 years old, you may be affected. To check your vehicle, click the link above.

Drivers of lorries, vans or specialist heavy vehicles (all over 3.5 tonnes) and buses, minibuses and coaches (all over 5 tonnes) do not need to pay the ULEZ charge. They will need to pay the LEZ charge if their vehicles do not meet the LEZ emissions standards.

What is the charge?

9 out of 10 cars seen driving in outer London on an average day meet the ULEZ standards, so their drivers will not need to pay the charge. Any money received from the scheme is reinvested into running and improving London’s transport network, such as contributing to the proposed Superloop, made up of express bus routes to help connect more people in outer London.

If you drive a vehicle that does not meet the ULEZ emissions standards, you could face a daily charge of £12.50 when driving within the zone. If your vehicle remains parked throughout the day, you do not need to pay the ULEZ charge. However, even if you make a short trip, you will need to pay the daily charge.

Charging days run from midnight to midnight. So, if you drive within the ULEZ area across two days, for example, before midnight and after midnight, you will need to pay two daily charges.
What are my options?

If you choose to replace your vehicle for one that meets the emissions standards, you do not need to buy a brand new or electric vehicle. Most petrol vehicles under 16 years old or diesel under 6 years old already meet the emissions standards. Check the vehicle registration using the Government's vehicle checker before you purchase (see link above).

Expanded scrappage scheme and retrofit options.

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan’s, £110m scrappage scheme is supporting thousands of Londoners through the ULEZ expansion.

Following a major expansion of the scrappage scheme eligibility, Londoners in receipt of Child Benefit can now apply to the scheme, as well as Londoners on certain low income or disability benefits. Many care workers in London could be eligible for Child Benefit or Universal Credit.

Eligible Londoners can get up to £2,000 to scrap a car or motorcycle, or £5,000 to scrap or retrofit (alter the vehicle’s engine to reduce emissions) a wheelchair accessible vehicle.

London-based businesses, now with under 50 employees, as well as micro businesses, sole traders and charities can apply to receive a payment of between £5,000 to scrap or retrofit a van, or up to £7,000 to scrap or retrofit a minibus. Higher payment options are available to scrap and replace with an electric vehicle.
