First up: the Ultra Low Emission Zone, or ULEZ. It’s a £12.50 daily fee for most cars. Every single day you drive inside it. Yes, even if your car is newer than your phone.
If your car is old and grumpy? Double trouble. You might owe £12.50 just to breathe near Big Ben. Check your reg number online—it’s like a lottery, but you always lose.
Fun fact: The ULEZ expanded in 2026 to cover almost all of Greater London. That’s 600 square miles of fee-happy territory. Your sat-nav will cry.
