Ulez - Heathrow Airport

[smudge]

Hi, I'm Smudge from the very olden times on Answerbank! Today, I drove to Heathrow Airport, Terminal 3 Arrivals, to meet our Grandson & his girlfriend. I've just been trying to find out if I needed to pay the ULEZ charge (having a diesel car), but found it a tad confusing, 'specially after a long tiring day. We could see there were ULEZ signs driving towards the airport carpark, etc., but can't seem to find a facility to enter my reg no., to see if there's an outstanding amount due on my vehicle. Any helpful ideas please? TIA

Yes, Heathrow is in the ULEZ:

And you can check whether your car is exempt from ULEZ or not here:

I think you have till Sunday night to pay, but hopefully someone better informed than me can confirm or deny this.

Thank you for your helpful replies brainiac, New Judge & jno. However, after posting & with a clearer head, I popped back to the instructions page/s & succefully managed to pay the £12.50 charge...! Thanks again & hopefully your instructions will help others in the future. 😏

As a northern yokel I ask, do the airlines have to pay every time one of their multi-engined vehicles enters or leaves the airport?

only if they land on a road, I expect, in which case there will also be hell to pay.
