    ULTRA LOW EMISSION ZONE

    ULEZ SCRAPPAGE SCHEME

NON-COMPLIANT VEHICLES


Non-compliant vehicles that fail to meet the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) emission standards and are not exempt currently have to pay £12.50 a day to drive within the ULEZ zone.

Alternatively, London residents with an eligible vehicle can take advantage of the TfL ULEZ Scrappage Scheme to help replace their non-compliant vehicles.

Watch the video below to find out how TMR can help or scroll down for further information.

SCRAPPAGE SCHEME


The Mayor of London has funded a £110m scrappage scheme, which provides financial assistance to help eligible Londoners scrap their non-compliant vehicles to prepare for the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) across all London boroughs from 29 August 2023.

London residents with an eligible vehicle can take advantage of the TfL ULEZ Scrappage scheme and potentially receive a grant worth £2,000*

Use the buttons below to visit the TfL website where you can check a postcode to see if it is inside one of the charging zones or check eligibility for the scrappage scheme and get information on how to claim.

*Please ensure you have checked eligibility before contacting us regarding scrapping your vehicle.

When you have checked eligibility on the TfL website we can then begin the process of scrapping your car. See below for more details on scrapping your car or visit our FAQ section for more info.

    Following the success of our last scrappage scheme, which saw the removal of more than 15,000 polluting vehicles from London's roads, this scrappage scheme supports Londoners receiving Child Benefit, or certain low income or disability benefits, and eligible small businesses (under 50 employees), micro businesses (up to 10 employees), sole traders and charities with a registered address in London. Only eligible applicants with vehicles that do not meet the ULEZ emissions standards will qualify.

    Eligible applicants can get up to £2,000 for scrapping a car or up to £1,000 for scrapping a motorcycle. For wheelchair accessible vehicles there is a payment of £5,000 to scrap or retrofit to the ULEZ standards.

    Once the vehicle has entered our site, TMR notifies DVLA that your vehicle is being scrapped and we issue the Certificate of Destruction (COD). This paperwork is required to receive your government grant. We then make the payment for your vehicle by sameday BACS.

  • What paperwork is needed to get the grant?
