Caura AutoPay currently covers London’s city charges. AutoPay lets you automatically pay London’s ULEZ and Congestion Charge. It also covers London’s LEZ for HGVs. When you drive into the charging zones, TfL automatically recognises your vehicle and up to 5 days later they notify us of your journey. We’ll then charge your payment card. No need to pay manually.

Go to the City Charges screen in-app and tap Complete Setup. Caura AutoPay is free to set up.

When you set up AutoPay, you are covered from the day after (i.e. tomorrow). If you went into any of the charging zones on the day you set up, you should pay your charge manually in-app. 

If you’re changing your registration plate (whether it’s for your existing vehicle or a new vehicle), you need to cancel AutoPay and set it up again. To do this, request a cancellation of your current AutoPay in-app. Then to remove your current vehicle reg, press and hold the vehicle image on the home screen. To add a new vehicle, swipe to the left on the home screen. 

Go to your AutoPay account in-app (by going to the City Charges screen). From your AutoPay account, tap the current payment method selected. You can then choose to change your payment method tied to your AutoPay, either select an existing payment method or add a new card to Caura. 

You can request cancellation from the AutoPay account section in-app. When you request a cancellation, we’ll get back to you to confirm your decision. It takes a day for AutoPay to be cancelled. You’ll lose the benefits of AutoPay which include automatic payments when you drive into any London charging zone. Once you cancel, charges may come through for the days prior to cancellation.

If you sell your vehicle, you’ll need to tell us to cancel as AutoPay will remain active, linked to your payment card.

You can view any payments you’ve made by going to the History tab in Caura. Tap on any payment in the list to view more detail. From there, you can even export a receipt to your email.

Clean Air Zones are coming soon to many UK cities, helping our air stay fresh for future generations. All vehicles are allowed in CAZ zones – but if their emissions are above a certain level, they’ll have to pay to pass through. 

You can learn more about different Clean Air Zones and the charges in place here.

You can find details of all active and planned Clean Air Zones here.

Currently, you can pay for Birmingham’s Class D Clean Air Zone charge, as well as the London Ultra Low Emission Zone charge and the Oxford Zero Emission Zone charge, in two-taps on Caura.

We’re working hard to bring more Clean Air Zones to Caura very soon. We’ll notify users via email or in-app notification when new zones launch, as well as communicate this on social media. In the meantime, if there is a charge payment you really want to see on Caura, let us know by emailing support@caura.com (it may just be what we focus on next!). 

There are four types (class) of Clean Air Zone. The class of Clean Air Zone dictates which vehicles have to pay for entering the zone. 

For each of the class types, the following non-compliant vehicle types have to pay: 

• Class A: buses, coaches, taxis and private hire vehicles 
• Class B: buses, coaches, taxis, private hire vehicles and heavy goods vehicles
• Class C: buses, coaches, taxis, private hire vehicles, heavy goods vehicles, vans and minibuses
• Class D: buses, coaches, taxis, private hire vehicles, heavy goods vehicles, vans, minibuses and cars, and the local authority has the option to include motorcycles too 

Please refer to the class type of the Clean Air Zone to understand which vehicle types have to pay. 

You will also be able to see exactly what you have to pay for a given Clean Air Zone, based on your vehicle’s type and emissions. 

The Clean Air Zones use ANPR cameras to automatically detect your vehicle when you drive into the charging zone. Look out for signs that clearly indicate the boundary of the zone.

If you try to pay for a charge that you're exempt from then Caura will not process the transaction, and you will not be charged.

Currently, you can pay for either today, tomorrow or yesterday in-app on Caura. Make sure you pay for the right date for any trips you make, as we’re unable to offer a refund for any payments made for the wrong day by mistake.

Caura charges no additional fee to pay for any Clean Air Zone, or to make any other transaction via the app. We don’t take any of the money for your payment and once it’s made it goes straight to the end provider.

If you have driven into the ULEZ zone and not made a payment for that day, and you are not exempt, you will face a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).

• You made a payment but it was for the wrong day or vehicle
• You have an exemption but you have not registered for a 100% discount with TfL

Currently all vehicles are liable to the same level of fine, which is £160. If you pay within 14 days of receiving the fine it’s £80, however if you pay after 14 days then you will have to pay the full £160.
