Frequently asked questions

Which clean air zones charge private cars?

In England, Birmingham and Bristol charge non-compliant private cars, as does London's ULEZ. Scotland's low emission zones in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee fine non-compliant cars. Several other zones only charge buses, taxis, vans or lorries.

What emission standard do I need?

Most zones use the same standard as London's ULEZ: Euro 4 for petrol cars and Euro 6 for diesel cars.
