How to pay?
You can pay the Congestion Charge either in advance or on the day of travel before, during or after the journey or by midnight the following charging day. The charge is £8 if you pay by midnight on the day of travel or £10 if you pay by midnight the following charging day (you can pay the following charging day via the call centre and website only).

You can pay your Congestion Charge for more than one day at a time by, for example, paying for a week, for a month or even for a whole year in one transaction. You can pay your Congestion Charge up to 90 days in advance, or on the day you need it.

Registering for a Fast Track Card will speed up paying your Congestion Charge. The card will contain your details and vehicle registration number, all protected by a PIN number.

You can pay your Congestion Charge:

There is also a range of exemptions and discounts available to certain categories of driver and certain categories of vehicle.

If you operate more than 10 vehicles, there is a fleet scheme to make paying easier.

What happens if I need a refund?
Under certain circumstances, for example, if you have paid your Congestion Charge for a whole year in advance but then sell your vehicle, you are entitled to a refund for the days that you have not used.
