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.

Clear, transparent info online and excellent customer service on the phone when I needed reassurance. The car collection itself was on time, professional and respectful to neighbours. An email help with paperwork completed this first class service, thank you.
It made moving on an old car easy. They paid the offered price quickly into a bank account and we received a scrapping notice all we had to do was notifying the dvla the vehicle was officially scrapped and no longer on the road.
Everything worked like clockwork. Plus their offer price was nearly double the next best. Super efficient company . Sent messages to keep one updated every step of the way. Local garage affiliate came and picked up the car. Job done. Amazingly simple and efficient.
The price was what we were looking for. Also kept in touch with phone calls and times they would ring back. Other dearer didn’t.so I knew who to deal with. The pick-up time was on time.All went smoothly. Very happy and I would recommend them to everyone.
Applied on line before nine in the morning they gave me a price I accepted and they collected my van at half two in the afternoon same day no drama whatsoever.
Easy to go on the website and get a quote for scrap. Easy to arrange pick up of vehicle. They did the transference of documents. Money arrived in my account a few days later.
Easy to use Easy to get a fair quote Easy to arrange for collection From pick to payment less than 4 hours and all info sent also kept upto date with progress
