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 £2,000 grant per car or van to remove a non-compliant vehicle. Eligible businesses may be offered an additional £1,000 towards the purchase of a purpose built cargo or electric 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 £23,000 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 six 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.

Quick pricing offer. Easy booking of collection date/time. Collection was made within the stated collection window. Relevant paperwork dealt with by collection driver.
Over all very positive experience but was sad to let go of my car. However online booking was easy straight forward, well informed about the collection date &time, received my money within half an hour after the collection. Well satisfied.
Very simple and easy to use service. Good communications received swiftly by both phone and e-mail. Collection on time and payment on time. Would use again.
It was great, really simple. You got your quote, you accept it. Then you get a phone call about collection. Collection day came they got the car started drove it onto the truck. Got payment within the hour. Very professional
Everything went like clockwork immediate return email, then contacted by recovery company with day,date and time, and 20 minutes notice for a early morning pick up which i requested 😀 top guys.

Helpful and simple. Kept me informed throughout. The driver called on the day to double check pick up details. I found this very helpful. Had no problems. Highly recommended
