It has been announced recently that the congestion charge is going to rise for London. It will go from £8.00 to £10.00.

Previously those companies which had fleet cars and fleet insurance would pay a reduced fee by £1.00 to £7.00 but not they are going to have to pay full price to have their fleet cars go through into London.

There is a system that they are introducing call autopay where by the user can ask the system to automatically debit their account depending on how many trips they make into London and pay via credit or debit card. This could be useful for fleet car owners as if they sign up for the system, they will receive a discount of £1.00, bringing the cost to only £9.00 a trip.

There are now talks of introducing a congestion charge in the city of Cambridge. We’ll keep you posted.
