Transport for LondonHow to pay
Annual payments
You will be charged a £10 registration charge per vehicle per year (except discounted vehicles with nine or more seats, which do not incur this cost). This is paid when the first pre-payment is taken and thereafter annually for each registered vehicle.
You must ensure that any vehicles you do not wish to renew are removed from your account before the vehicle's annual renewal date. If they are not removed the vehicle will be automatically renewed, and you will have to pay the £10 registration charge.
Your monthly statement will warn you when a vehicle's renewal is due.
Monthly payments
A pre-payment for the forthcoming month is made by Direct Debit, and a statement of vehicle Congestion Charges is issued.
This amount takes into account any differences between the predicted and actual charges for the previous month and your anticipated charges for the next month.
Ad hoc payments
You can use your account to pay the Congestion Charge for vehicles on an ad hoc basis, even if these vehicles are not registered to your account. The Congestion Charge for these vehicles is added to the monthly statement.
There is a limit to the number of ad hoc charges that can be made per month. The limit is related to the number of vehicles registered on the account. For example an account with 40 registered vehicles is able to make 40 ad-hoc payments per month.
If you use an ad hoc vehicle it must be added to your account by midnight on the day of travel. If you have not added it, you may still pay the charge online by midnight the following charging day, at the £10 rate, or use the Contact Centre (0845 900 1234).
Monthly statements
TfL no longer issue paper statements to holders of a Congestion Charging Fleet Account. Instead you are able to view and print your statements directly from your account.
An email is sent each month informing you that your statement is available to view.
