The ULEZ is expanding and the TfL AutoPay fee is going!

London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is expanding again, affecting more drivers than ever before. In a major change, Transport for London (TfL) is also removing the AutoPay fee, making it easier for drivers to stay compliant. Here’s what you need to know about these updates and how Rooster can help you stay ahead.

What is ULEZ and Who is Affected?

ULEZ reduces vehicle emissions and consequently improves air quality in London. If your vehicle does not meet the required emissions standards, you’ll need to pay a daily charge to drive within the zone. So this expansion covers more areas, making it essential to check if your vehicle is compliant.

What’s Changing with the ULEZ Expansion?

Wider Coverage: The expanded ULEZ will include more boroughs, covering a larger part of Greater London.

More Drivers Impacted: If you drive a non-compliant petrol or diesel vehicle, you’ll need to pay the charge every day you enter the zone.

Higher Penalties for Non-Payment: Ensure you pay on time to avoid hefty fines.

TfL AutoPay Fee Removal – What Does It Mean for You?

Previously, drivers using TfL’s AutoPay system had to pay an annual £10 fee. The government is now scrapping this charge, making it easier to automatically pay for ULEZ, Congestion Charge, and other road fees without extra costs.

Benefits of AutoPay:

No risk of forgetting to pay and getting fined.
Automatic payments for ULEZ and other charges.
Now free to use, saving drivers extra money.
