Getafe low-emission zone 2026: phase 2 stays in force

only to reach a public car park that is part of the ZBE scheme
| Fine for entering without permission | €200 · €100 if paid early |
|---|---|
| Road tax (section 95) | €34.08 – €68.16 |
How the answer was reached, step by step
- First registered in June 2012: under the dates published by the DGT, B label.
- Zona de Bajas Emisiones de Getafe (Centro y San Isidro): only to park (every day, at any time); only to reach a public car park that is part of the ZBE scheme.
- IVTM: Getafe's tax byelaw is not included; section 95 of the Local Finance Act sets €34.08 to €68.16 for 11.50 fiscal hp (multiplier 1 to 2).
Estimate based on the byelaws and DGT criteria checked on 15 October 2026. The byelaw in force and, for the label, the DGT number-plate lookup have the final word. How we calculate
Getafe’s low-emission zone has been in force since 27 January 2025, after the byelaw appeared in the Madrid regional gazette (BOCM) on 24 January. It covers the Centro and San Isidro neighbourhoods, marked by a double red line and the letters “ZBE” painted on the road, and the local police enforce it with cameras at the entries. In phase 2, which the city government chose to keep from 1 January 2026 instead of moving to phase 3, unlabelled vehicles may not enter without a permit, and B-label vehicles not registered in Getafe or on its road-tax roll may only do so to reach a public car park that is part of the scheme. C, ECO and zero labels enter freely, as do locally registered B and C vehicles. Residents of the zone have no restriction. The offence is serious: €200, or €100 if paid early.

A zone to cut through traffic
Getafe is ringed by motorways, and many central streets used to serve as shortcuts between the A-4, A-42 and M-45. The council says streets such as Sierra, Leoncio Rojas, Jardines and General Palacio have cleaner air since the zone began. That is why the rule mainly targets outside vehicles: locally registered cars get in with B or C, residents have no limit, and through traffic has to find another route.
Registration in two records
To count as local, the car must have a Getafe address on the DGT vehicle register and be on the council’s road-tax roll. Changing only one is not enough. Mopeds, motorbikes and quadricycles with any label drive freely, and foreign or diplomatic plates have their own provision.
Getafe borders Madrid, whose municipal zone closes the whole city to unlabelled vehicles: check its rules if you are driving on into the capital.
