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.

Professional from beginning to end. The man who collected the car helped me to fill in all the official papers and the money was in the bank that day. Thank you.
Simple and straight forward. Everything was done very professionally and they dealt with paperwork and DVLA. Money was in my account within 5 mins of car being loaded...10/10 Highly recommended.
I had no problem immediately obtaining a viable quote for my car . Once accepted an arranged pickup was agreed within 48hrs and the resulting collection was swift and the two staff members both friendly and polite. Payment was as agreed

Very easy sale and a good price. All done in a few days and on days and times as suggested. Polite staff including collecting driver so overall I would recommend them heartily.
So easy - filled out the info on the website, accepted their competitive offer and the car was collected at the agreed time with no fuss. Couldn’t have asked for any better.
Very quick and simple and got the price I was offered online, (which was a lot more than I was offered by a few local companies) no hassle at all and the money was in my account within an hour of the car being collected! Excellent service highly recommended!
