Low-emission vehicles, what benefits can you receive?
1. Low-emission vehicles
Low-emission vehicles literally refer to vehicles that do not emit substances that pollute the air, or are classified according to the amount of air pollutants they emit. They are divided into types 1, 2, and 3.

Eco-friendly vehicles such as type 2 hybrid vehicles and plug hybrid vehicles
3 types of LPG vehicles, gasoline vehicles (emissions below a certain level)
2. Benefits of low-emission vehicles
There are various benefits of low-emission vehicles. My vehicle is also a hybrid vehicle, so I can receive many benefits, but I especially take advantage of the ‘50% discount on public parking lot fees.’ It especially shines in airport parking lots. When you travel, you often use valet parking. It is cheaper than valet parking, so it is very convenient because you do not have to hire valet parking separately.
▶ 50% discount on public parking lot fees
It is being implemented by local governments across the country, including the metropolitan area, and offers discounts of 30% to 50% for low-emission vehicles.
※ Parking fee discount rates vary depending on the low-pollution level and each local government, so please check.
▶ 50% discount on airport parking fees at Incheon Airport, Gimpo Airport, etc.
You can receive a 50% discount for Type 1 and Type 2, and a 20% discount for Type 3 at 15 airports across the country, including Incheon Airport and Gimpo Airport.
▶ Congestion toll exemption for Namsan Tunnels 1 and 3
In Namsan Tunnels 1 and 3, a toll fee of 2,000 won is charged for the purpose of relieving traffic congestion. Types 1 and 2 are exempted, and type 3 is discounted by 50%, but unfortunately, it is abolished in April 2021.
▶ Subway transfer parking lot discount
In Seoul, you can receive 3 hours of free parking at the subway transfer parking lot. There is also an 80% discount for overpayments, so you won’t have to worry about using it when commuting to work.
▶50% discount on highway tolls
You can receive a 50% discount on highway tolls until the end of 2024, but this benefit only applies to electric and hydrogen vehicles, which are low-emission class 1 vehicles, so it is a bit disappointing for class 2 and 3 vehicles. Also, please note that the discount is only available when you pass with the Hi-Pass.
