ULEZ Scrappage Scheme Closed — What Are Your Options Now?

The London ULEZ Scrappage Scheme helped drivers remove older, higher-emission vehicles from the road. However, the official TfL scrappage scheme is now closed to new applicants.

If you still own a non-ULEZ compliant car, van or vehicle that is no longer worth keeping, you may still be able to scrap it for a competitive price with free vehicle collection and fast payment.

We provide simple guidance for drivers looking to understand their options after the closure of the ULEZ scrappage scheme and can help you get an instant scrap car quote.

ULEZ Advice & Guidance

If you were planning to use the ULEZ scrappage scheme, it is important to know that new applications are no longer being accepted.

You may still have options if your vehicle is old, damaged, unwanted, uneconomical to repair, or not compliant with current ULEZ standards.

Before deciding what to do next, we recommend:

Checking whether your vehicle is ULEZ compliant
Comparing the cost of keeping the vehicle against the daily ULEZ charge
Getting a current scrap value for your car or van
Considering whether repair, sale or scrappage gives you the best return
Arranging collection through a trusted vehicle recycling network

Is the ULEZ Scrappage Scheme Still Open?

No. The official London ULEZ Scrappage Scheme is now closed to new applicants. The scheme was introduced to help eligible drivers scrap, donate or retrofit older vehicles ahead of the London-wide ULEZ expansion.

Although you can no longer apply for the grant, you can still scrap an unwanted or non-compliant vehicle through an authorised vehicle collection and recycling service.

What Can I Do If My Car Is Not ULEZ Compliant?

If your car does not meet ULEZ standards, you may need to pay the daily charge when driving within the zone. For some older cars, especially those with repair issues or low resale value, scrapping the vehicle may be the most practical option.

Getting a scrap quote gives you a clear idea of what your vehicle is worth before deciding whether to keep, repair, sell or scrap it.

Can I Still Scrap a ULEZ Non-Compliant Car?

Yes. Even though the TfL grant scheme has closed, you can still scrap a non-ULEZ compliant car or van. Many drivers choose to do this when the vehicle is no longer cost-effective to run, repair or insure.

We can help you get a scrap quote, arrange collection and ensure the vehicle is handled through the correct recycling process.

How Much Is My Old Car Worth for Scrap?

The scrap value of a vehicle depends on factors such as its make, model, age, weight, condition, location and current metal prices.

The quickest way to find out is to enter your registration and postcode for an instant quote. This gives you a realistic value for the vehicle now that the ULEZ grant scheme is no longer available.
