Low Emission Zone (LEZ) boundary

Vehicles registered outside of the UK

Entry into Edinburgh's low emission zone (LEZ) is based on the Euro emission engine classification standards that are used both internationally and nationally.Selection of car number plates from European countries

If your vehicle is not registered in the UK, it must comply with the minimum criteria of:

  • Euro 4 for petrol cars and vans 
  • Euro 6 for diesel cars and vans

If your vehicle complies with the emission standards then you will be able to drive it in Edinburgh's LEZ without incurring a penalty charge notice.

You do not need to register in advance and there is no mechanism for doing so.

We hope you enjoy your time in Edinburgh. You might find our official guide to Edinburgh useful for planning your trip.
