Motability is a national charity, set up on the initiative of the Government in 1977, to assist disabled people with their mobility needs.
The scheme is open to anyone who receives one of the following benefits and has at least 12 months’ award length remaining when they apply:
- Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance
- War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement
No waiting lists, credit checks or medical assessments are required.
You don’t need to drive as you can nominate up to two friends or relatives as drivers instead. Parents and carers can also apply on behalf of a child.
By far the most popular option, chosen by over 90% of customers, is the contract hire of a new car. Customers enjoy affordable, convenient, trouble free motoring choosing a brand new car every three years with insurance, servicing, tyres and breakdown cover all included. A wide range of adaptations, for example hand controls and wheelchair accessible vehicles, are also available on the Contract Hire Scheme.
If you think you are eligible for the motability scheme or are looking to renew you car, please call in and one of our motability experts will answer any queries you may have.
