Saving money with the congestion charge

Published on 30 April 2008

If you drive into central London every day, you could save £1,600 per year by driving a car with reduced emissions (based on 200 visits per annum).

The London Congestion Charge came into force on 17th February 2003 and the tariff was increased on the 4th July 2005. Vehicles travelling into the congestion zone have to pay £8 per day between 7am and 6pm, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays).

Transport for London offers a 100 per cent discount on the £8 London Congestion Charge for vehicles on the PowerShift register. All it costs is a £10 annual registration fee (payable to Transport for London).
