Clean Air Zone Vehicle Checker: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Find out if your car or van meets emissions standards to avoid daily charges when driving in city centers.

This service allows you to check if your vehicle meets the required emissions standards before you drive into a designated city center zone.

Who it's for

This is for anyone driving commercial vans or cars that may enter specific city center areas.

What you get

You will receive clear information regarding whether your specific vehicle meets the emissions standards required to drive in these zones without paying a fee.

What it costs you

Using the checker itself is free. However, if your vehicle does not meet the standards, you will be required to pay daily charges when driving within the zone.

The catch to know

You must check the status of your specific vehicle registration number. Simply knowing your vehicle's model year is not enough to guarantee you will be exempt from charges.

How to apply

  1. Visit the official government website.
  2. Enter your vehicle registration number into the checker.
  3. Review the results to see if your vehicle is compliant.
  4. Check the official portal for the current amounts regarding daily charges.
