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.

Excellent service from start to finish. All customer services staff were helpful, answered all my questions and, gave me confidence in scrapping my old car. I have recommended CarTakeBack to my friends, they have also had the same fabulous service. Thank you all.
Couldn't fault the service I received. The price paid was above average. The procedure was straightforward and easy to use. Very pleasant and helpful staff.
Lots of these sights offer one price online then mess you about haggling afterwards. These guys were very straightforward, no messing around & the money arrived exactly as expected. Was very happy with the customer service
Offered fair price, more than others did. Good communication. Turned up when they said they would and took away the car. Paid promptly. They filed the paperwork and I got my tax back. What more can you ask for?
The service was excellent The guy that came to collect my car was very nice and professional He sorted out all the paperwork and the money was in my account a few hours later Would definitely recommend this company
