"According to the survey, 22% of UK drivers believe the current car tax system is unfair. When asked what they think would be the fairest way to be charged, 29% said it should be based on mileage driven, suggesting these drivers may support a pay-per-mile initiative. This was followed by emissions-based charges (18%) and a flat fee for everyone, regardless of use or vehicle (14%)."
"Three-quarters of those who said tax should be based on mileage think drivers who cover more miles should pay more each year. The vast majority (87%) of respondents who favour an emissions-based charging structure believe higher emissions should equal higher tax. Among those who think tax should be based on vehicle age, 45% say owners of newer vehicles should pay more, compared with 34% who think older cars should."
"Our research suggests that there is a strong driver preference for paying for vehicle tax based on how much you use your car. Temporary car insurance works on the same principle, you only pay for the hours or days you actually drive. It's a flexible way to stay covered, and it taps into the growing appetite among motorists for pay-as-you-go solutions, whether for tax or insurance."
