Congestion Charge
The London Congestion Charge is included in your reservation cost, so there’s no need for additional payment to cover this. The registration plate will be recognised as a Zipcar vehicle, so no charge will be incurred.

We also cover the congestion charge, fuel and insurance as standard. If you are a small business owner we also offer a scrappage scheme for your existing vehicle.
