Rejected petition Stop mayor of London to charge congestion charge to private hire driver

Please know that previously, private hire vehicles (PHVs) were exempt from paying the Congestion Charge. However, TfL announced yesterday (19th December 2018) that from 8th April 2019, PHVs will no longer be exempt.

More details

This means that PHVs will need to pay the Congestion Charge if they travel within the charging Zone during charging hours (7am - 6pm, Monday to Friday).

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. The London congestion charge is the responsibility of the London Assembly.
