Motability Scheme
What is the Motability Scheme?
The Motability Scheme is an all-inclusive way for people who are in receipt of a mobility allowance to drive a brand new vehicle with the cost of everything, except fuel, covered as part of the lease agreement.
A mobility allowance offers many people with a disability help with the extra costs they may face because of their disabilities. Since being established in 1978 over 600,000 people have chosen to spend it on a brand new car or wheelchair accessible vehicle with the Motability Scheme.
You can also name up to two drivers for your vehicle, so if your carer, a family member or a friend could drive your Motability car. Plus you get a brand new car every three years, so if your circumstances change or even if you just fancy something different, it's really easy.
How does the Motability Scheme Work?
Finding a vehicle on the Motability Scheme couldn't be easier.
All you need to do is:
- Find the right vehicle from the latest Motability offers and decide if you’d like any adaptations fitting.
- Make an appointment with your nearest Motability accredited center.
- Place your order, with our Motability Specialists.
Your Motability lease will last for 3 years, so at the end of the lease simply drop the car back off at the dealership you picked it up from and arrange for a new one to be ordered.
