Londoners, get ready to breathe easier and fatten your wallet! The Mayor of London’s groundbreaking £160 million scrappage scheme is here to provide a breath of fresh air, both environmentally and financially. This initiative aims to assist eligible residents in scrapping or retrofitting vehicles that don’t meet the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) standards. But the exciting news? As of August 29, 2023, the scheme is expanding to cover all London boroughs.
How do I get the 2000 scrappage scheme?
Own a vehicle that doesn’t quite meet the ULEZ standards? Well, you’re in for a treat! You can now get a generous £2,000 to scrap your old car or motorcycle. And it’s not just cars; this expanded scheme covers motorcycles and wheelchair-accessible vehicles too.
Who is eligible for the scrappage scheme?
Eligibility criteria are now more inclusive, allowing all London residents with non-compliant vehicles to apply. Small businesses, micro businesses, sole traders, and charities with a registered London address can also participate.
How Much Can You Get?
Here’s the exciting part – you could snag up to £2,000 for saying goodbye to your non-compliant car. Motorbike owners can grab up to £1,000 for ditching their old rides.
Special Perks
And it gets better! If you own a non-compliant wheelchair-accessible vehicle, there’s a massive £10,000 waiting for you when you scrap it. Or, if you’d rather upgrade it, you can still pocket £6,000. Plus, those van and minibus owners aren’t left out – there’s a separate scheme offering from £6,000 to £11,500, depending on your ride.
Business and Charity Bonanza
Businesses, listen up! You can receive grants to scrap or retrofit up to three vans or minibuses, with specific conditions. And for small businesses, micro businesses, sole traders, and charities in London, there’s even a short-term grace period if your vehicles won’t be ready for the ULEZ expansion.
Getting Your Cash
The application process is straightforward, with sub-schemes for different vehicle types and applicants. Your grant can be as much as £10,000, depending on your vehicle and eligibility.
More Than Cash
But hold on, there’s more! This scheme offers more than just money for scrapping your vehicle. It’s all about promoting sustainable transportation. So, not only do you get cash in your pocket, but successful applicants can also access exclusive offers to save even more money.
