    Edinburgh LEZ for gig workers (2026)

    Zone type: LEZ | City: Edinburgh | Last verified: 19 April 2026

    Summary

    Edinburgh LEZ works by penalty rather than daily charge: £60 first breach for cars, escalating for repeat entries. Diesel Euro 6 and petrol Euro 4 needed to avoid penalties. Non-compliant private cars are hit, which matters for Amazon Flex and PHV drivers in older diesels.
