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.

Very easy and surprisingly fast to complete and arrange collection. Got clear updates through the process. Both the collection driver and person who phoned to arrange collection were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend 100%.
Easy process to follow, everything happened in the way that they said it would. Had the money in the bank within two hours of the car leaving on the back of the truck
After being let down by other companies this company gave me a call and arranged collection of my vehicle and was actually waiting for me! 10 out of 10 for my experience.
I was very pleased with the response from the phone call and the Car transporter drivers skill when removing a dead engine old car. Was most impressed and all done in half an hour.
Easy and quick valuation . Email with day and time to pick up.Driver bang on time and finalised checks and paperwork. Money in bank and hour after. Good experience start to end.
Everything from getting a quote online to collection was easy . And collected so quickly , kept updated with every step . I have used a few times and they are well worthy of 5 stars .
My recovery driver went above and beyond. Really helped with the situation with the car and another persons car in front. I couldn’t recommend him more. Brilliant man and service!
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.
