Landy 109/110 wagon exempt from congestion charge

[Dan]

Apparently any vehicle with 9 or more seats is exempt

I wonder if this works for bus lanes too

Yes, I believe you just have to fill out a form. I might do this with my 110 just because I can - it's got 11 seats.

Here's the form:

It's free to register, you just have to re-register every year.

Yes but you have to register your BUS with DVLA as a bus - so no good as you would then require road tax for a public service vehicle which is expensive, IIRC.

No you don't. Vehicles on PSV licenses are automatically exempted. Vehicles on PLG licenses that have more than 9 seats are exempt provided that they fill out the form. This is all detailed on the form itself.

I think Simon was eluding to use in Bus Lanes rather than the congestion charge.

OK, I'm sure that's true. Even the off-airport parking courtesy minibuses don't normally seem to use the bus lane into Heathrow, when you would expect them to be allowed to.
