What
is the London Congestion Zone?
The
London Congestion Charge is a daily charge payable by motorists travelling into
or within the London Congestion Charge Zone.
The
main objectives of the Congestion Charge are to reduce traffic congestion and
to raise funds for investment in London's transport system. The Zone came into
operation in Central London in 2003. The system is run on an automatic basis using
CCTV and Automatic Number Plate Recognition.
A network of cameras read vehicle number plates as you:
•Enter
the zone
•Leave the zone
•Drive
within the zone
The
cameras photograph the car's registration number and register it for payment prior
to midnight the day of entry
Where
& When
Vehicles
which drive within a clearly defined zone of central London between the hours
of 07:00 and 18:00, Monday to Friday, have to pay a Congestion Charge
How
it works
The
Congestion Charge is £10 plus a £2 admin fee from
CChargepass. If you do not
pay the Congestion Charge by midnight on the following charging day, a penalty
of £120 will be issued. If the penalty is paid within 14 days the fine is reduced
to £60. The Car Rental Company, as the registered
owner, will pay the fine. The Car Rental Company will then charge your credit
card for the penalty (£60) and an admin fee of £30-£50. This means each day you
travel into London can cost you as much as £110
