How we calculate Clean Air Zone charges
Charges for driving in Bath's Clean Air Zone will apply daily.
We will measure the daily charge from midnight to midnight, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. So even if your journey within the zone starts at 11pm, and finishes at 1am, for example, you will still need to pay two separate daily charges.
The amount you will have to pay
How much you pay depends on the type of vehicle you drive. Your vehicle type is listed on your V5C document, insurance and vehicle tax.
