With the introduction of Low Emission Zones in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow, the Scottish Government has introduced disposal grants for non-LEZ compliant vehicles. As well as the scrappage scheme offers there is a loan offer also available
Households can apply for a £2,000 grant to incentivise the scrapping of a non-LEZ compliant vehicle. This will include an additional offer of up to two £500 mobility grants or Travel Better vouchers for people to purchase a bike, e-bike or public transport voucher.
Low Emission Zone Support Fund for households
For micro-businesses, the fund provides an incentive of a £2,500 grant per car or van to remove a non-compliant vehicle, replace it with a compliant vehicle, or to invest in an alternative mode of transport such as an e-cargo bike.
Low Emission Zone Support Fund for businesses
The interest-free Used Electric Vehicle Loan, funded by Transport Scotland (an agency of the Scottish Government) and administered by Energy Saving Trust, offers eligible drivers in Scotland an interest-free loan of up to £30,000 to cover the cost of purchasing a used electric car or van, or up to £5,000 for the purchase of a used electric motorcycle or moped. The loan has a repayment term of up to five years.

You must not scrap your vehicle until you have received a grant offer letter from Energy Saving Trust confirming your eligibility, otherwise you will not be eligible for funding. Both schemes are administered by the Energy Saving Trust. To find out more about scheme, to see if you’re eligible and to apply for the grants, you should visit their website.

Great service, everything went exactly to plan. I was offered a fair price for my vehicle and the payment was made exactly as promised. I would highly recommend their services to anyone struggling to dispose of their vehicle.
Quick, efficient, hassle free. Only problem was the queuing system on the phone when trying to return their call. Having the contactless collection was brilliant, and payment was made the next day as explained.
Very easy 👌 Money in my bank account within 30 minutes. The driver explained everything I needed to know He also came within the time I was told. Everything went smoothly.
The form was easy to fill out. I was informed of everything that needed to be put down. The guy rang me an hour before collection and went through any paperwork. Overall I was very pleased with the service provided.
Great service Good price paid for my car plus the best bit is that once the car gets back to their depo the money was in my bank account by 5 pm the same day I would definitely recommend this company friendly staff from the reception to the pick up person
Seamless, quick and extremely easy to go through the process from start to finish. Best price i could find and I was paid in full by the end of the day after collection. Sad to see my old car go, happy to see the scrap value appear in my bank account!
Right from the get go Customer service was very Pleasant. Then when driver came to take the car he was Very polite and professional. I would highly Recommend these and in Addition best price was given so all in all 5 out of 5.
