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.

The take back service was easy to use and quick to organise which took the stress out of the situation. Everyone involved was pleasant to deal with and made the job quick and easy.
Excellent service one phone call given price and arranged collection next day. Transport driver kept me updated on how far away he was. Money was deposited into my bank by close of business next day. Would recommend

Really simple process right through from getting the quote online, receiving a call to arrange collection and the collection itself. No haggling the amount and payment received the following business day as stated.
They were very clear at all times. They made a good offer all things considered. They kept to their original offer. They collected the vehicle promptly and paid promptly.
Simple process with precise accurate instructions culminating in a prompt well timed collection of the vehicle. The payment for the vehicle was surprisingly greater than expected. I will use this company again in the future.
Everything went smoothly and pick up driver was helpful and polite. My car battery died so he fetched the starting pack started it and drive it on to the transporter. Money came within days Jib done. Thankyiu
Really good price for my scrap car, turned up on time, difficult place for recovery but sorted it out money in the bank two hours later good service 👍
Very straightforward from start to finish. Submitted form, car collected and money in bank all within 3 days. Max, who collected the car, was great and this helped make the experience painless.
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 .
