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.

Excellent customer service, very efficient and effective process. Everyone was polite, courteous and helpful. Advice and information was clear and easy to understand.
The whole process was very straightforward- got a price I was happy with, they collected my car at the dealership within 2 days and got paid within a couple of hours. Very good service all around. Thank you
Easy to deal with. Offered a price, no haggling, paid the price and picked the car up, very easy, actually came earlier than expected which doesn’t happen to often and very tidy and accommodating.
Was apprehensive regarding payment but turned out no problem payment paid within 24 hrs . Very easy transaction hope not to do it again but I have their number in case
Excellent service after a previous disappointing experience with a company offering a higher price. Good communication, timely scheduling, friendly and efficient staff including collecting driver
Good price, prompt payment. Attended as arranged for collection of vehicle and sorted all tue paperwork. I was anxious before scrapping a car like this not knowing what to expect but it couldn’t have been any better. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From the beginning to the end nothing was too much trouble. Collection date arrange and the company collecting, Redcorn, called to confirm. On the day they even called 1/2 an hour before to give me time to be at the location. Perfect.
