Clean air zones and tolls

Only add these if your vehicle does not meet the zone’s emission standard. Check the registration with the official checkers, or ask the hire company. Check with the hire company; if the vehicle misses the standard and they have not arranged payment, you pay.

Charges from each council’s page; see ULEZ and Clean Air Zones for links and dates.

Scotland’s LEZs (Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow) issue fines rather than daily charges, so they are not in the total: first penalty £60 (£30 if paid within 14 days), doubling for repeat entries within 90 days (Source: mygov.scot, Fines for Low Emission Zones · checked 31 October 2026).
