CAZ Checker
Driving an HGV into a UK city? Clean air zones, low emission zones, and ULEZ charges catch out thousands of hauliers every year — with daily fines reaching £1,000 for non-compliant vehicles.
Our free Clean Air Zone Charge Checker covers London, Birmingham, Bath, Bristol, Portsmouth, and more, so you can check your vehicle's Euro emission standard against each zone's rules before you set off.
No sign-up, no guesswork — just a quick answer on whether you'll be charged, how much, and what happens if you don't pay.

Charges apply 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and are generally payable up to 6 days before travel and up to 6 days after. Figures marked "approx." should be confirmed locally as they are less frequently updated in public sources. This tool gives general guidance only — always confirm using the official GOV.UK Clean Air Zone service or TfL checker before you travel.
