Which new cars can you buy that are exempt from congestion charge and road tax (V.E.D)?
With the rising cost of running a new car and our growing concerns over the environmental impact, choosing a vehicle that doesn't financially punish you on a daily basis, is key.
Currently two cities in the UK use congestion charging (including its capital: London) and the majority of brand new cars sold are eligible to pay this controversial fee. Add to that the road fund licence (road tax) along with fuel and insurance, it is a wonder how the average family manages to cope.
With discussions related to the introduction of more congestion charging cities (including Cambridge), the Charters Group understand that owning a car that is exempt from both these charges and road tax can help each driver save in the long run.
Thankfully a range of our cars offer an exemption from congestion charging with no road tax costs to worry about. Being such economically friendly cars also means that you'll not have to make as many pit-stops in fuel stations.
To qualify for no congestion charging in the city of London, a vehicle needs to have lower than 100 g/km CO2 levels and be EURO 5 compliant. These extremely stringent stipulations mean that only a select few cars achieve the necessary congestion charge and road tax waiver.
Charters Citroen of Aldershot offer several cars that meet this standard:
