| Post subject: | Taxis and the Congestion charge |
I had an enquiry last week for a drop in Central London. How do taxis stand with the congestion charge? I am guessing that outsiders like myself would get hammered with the charge? Is it still £8 or did Ken manage to get it up to £500 before he bit the dust?

I think you have to pay? 
But I'm not 100% certain, it's not somehting I've ever looked into. It's still £8, but goes up to £10 sometime next year. Tell you what, save yourself the bother, I'll do the job for you. |

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/congest ... fault.aspx We are liable. Pay by 2200 same day for basic charge. It then escalates as time goes on. I normally pay online when I get home, or if I'm not back in time, phone SWMBO to do it. |

As long as you have your top sign on and your plates your OK We had a driver sent a fine for using one of London's bridges along with a pic, he sent a copy of his certification of compliance and his operators licence down to them and it was scrubbed Don't forget the signage says taxis only not where they come from |

I think you're confusing the Congestion Charge with Bus Lanes Skippy. |

I think if you apply for a exemption and then register you will be exempt, my friend does with a 8 seat mini bus hackney and he said any car with more than 8 seats is exempt and any TAXI . go on there webb site and apply.It takes about 2 weeks but lasts for a year. then they send out a form for you to sign for another each year, it quite easy. |
