Clean Air Zone (CAZ) Information: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Find out if your vehicle meets local standards and how to avoid daily charges when driving in specific city zones.

This scheme provides information to help vehicle owners understand if their cars meet the required environmental standards for driving in specific city zones.

Who it's for

This is for any vehicle owner who drives into designated city zones where air quality measures are in place.

What you get

You can check whether your specific vehicle is compliant with local emissions standards. This helps you determine if you will be required to pay a fee for driving within the zone.

What it costs you

Checking if your vehicle is compliant is free. However, if your vehicle does not meet the required standards, you will be required to pay a daily charge for every day you drive within the zone.

The catch to know

The charge is applied on a daily basis. If you enter and leave the zone multiple times in a single day, you only pay the charge once, but you must ensure you do not forget to make the payment.

How to apply

  1. Visit the official portal to look up your vehicle details.
  2. Check the specific emissions standards for your vehicle type.
  3. Determine if your vehicle is compliant or requires a payment.
  4. Follow the instructions on the site to pay if your vehicle is non-compliant.
