Auto Pay Congestion Charge

pollyanna24

If you enrol for auto pay, do you then not have to do anything when you drive in the London Congestion Zone and will automatically be billed?

I get that they will only take the payment once a month, but just wondered if I had to notify them of the days I drive in or will their cameras do this for me?

It does say on their website, never forget to pay the charge again, so I'm assuming I don't have to notify them.

From their website:

We'll automatically record the number of charging days a vehicle travels within the charging zone each month and bill you each month.

Thanks. That's how I read it, but my boss is convinced that you still have to notify them each drive you drive in the zone.

My argument was why would they state "never forget to pay the charge ever again," if this was the case?

I have autopay on my work vehicle.

It's all automatic, they send you a monthly statement about the 8th via email and then collect the money on the 15th (That's how mine works).

You don't need to notify them when you enter / exit the charging zone.

There may be days that the cameras don't pick you up so you don't get charged.

I found registering online a pain, I just called them, they answer straight away and can set it up there and then, it takes 5 / 10 minutes
