Congestion charge (Central London)

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Does anyone know if you still have to pay the £10 a year fee to register and eligable vehicle as congestion charge exempt?

And can one register it online to work instantly the same day, or does it have to be left 24 hours before going into 'the zone'

Jon.

When I did the bus, I didn't have to pay anything, BUT they only accepted a postal form and it took about a week.

This was more to do with needing to prove the amount of seats though (had to send MOT or COIF) - so if it's something a bit more straightforward, I'm guessing the verification would be a lot faster.

Ta for that Ben.

I've just checked and need to send V5C off also (also need to chase DVLA up as it stll hasn't come since re-registering it as Hybrid 4-5 weeks ago).

Oh well. Will make sure I leave for ace cafe so I don't hit CC before 6pm. I googled it and its 6pm and not 7pm like I thought, so I should be ok

Ah yeah, had to send the v5 too. So probably it will take the same amount of time then?

It was slightly dodgy though, the v5 said 16 seats and the Coif said 15 ... the MOT cert said 12! haha....

Obviously didn't matter too much, as long as it was more than 8

blue badge holders have to pay £10 can do 2 cars on it though, its best to wait till you get letter before you go

you dont need to go into it to get to ace can go round

Lucky that they didn't refuse because of it. You know what they're lke. Any minor little excuse to get out of you not having to give them £8 a day

Yeah I know, but I'm gonna be lazy and sat nav it so don't know which way it'll take me

But gonna leave at about 1740 as will take a good 20 min to get anywhere near congestion zones with traffic etc
