To drive within the LEZ without incurring penalties, your hire car must meet certain emission requirements. The standards are based on the vehicle's make, fuel type, and Euro emission standards. The Euro emission standards categorise vehicles based on their environmental impact, and it is, therefore, crucial to check if the car hire agency you plan to use meets the emission standards.
