ULEZ: Ultra Low Emission Zone
ULEZ covers all of London within the North and South Circular. Non-compliant vehicles pay £12.50 per day. Most professional removal vans are ULEZ-compliant (Euro 6 diesel or Euro 4 petrol). Reputable movers include ULEZ moving van charges in their quote or use compliant vehicles. Confirm before booking.
Congestion Charge Zone
The Congestion Charge applies to central London (City and West End). It is £15 per day for vehicles entering the zone. Congestion charge removal vans driving through or into the zone incur this fee. Many removals companies factor it into the quote when the move is in the zone.
Moving Van Fees: What to Expect
Moving van fees may include ULEZ and Congestion Charge if applicable. Ask upfront. A move from Islington to Westminster will typically pass through or into both zones. A move in outer London (e.g. Croydon to Bromley) may avoid the Congestion Charge but still be in ULEZ.
