Motability cars for sale
Many of our customers use the Motability Contract Hire Scheme, which enables people to become mobile by exchanging their mobility allowance to lease a powered wheelchair, scooter, adapted car or wheelchair accessible vehicle.
Motability eligibility
You are eligible to use the Motability Scheme if you receive the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment or the Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance. Today, over 800,000 disabled people and their families benefit from worry-free motoring.
Motability Contract Hire
When purchasing a Motability car, the Contract Hire Agreement typically lasts five years for wheelchair accessible vehicles, compared to three years for a standard car. Motability include insurance, servicing and breakdown cover for worry-free motoring.
Motability Scheme-Related Grant Programmes: Financial Support for Those Who Need It Most
For many disabled individuals, having access to a vehicle is essential for maintaining independence and mobility. However, the cost of Advance Payments and adaptations can sometimes be a barrier. That’s where Motability Scheme-Related Grant Programmes come in—offering financial assistance to those who need extra support to access the scheme.
What is the Motability Foundation?
The Motability Foundation was established in 1977 to provide a car-leasing scheme designed specifically for disabled people, ensuring they get the best value for money. In addition to offering affordable vehicle leasing, the foundation also provides grants to help cover the costs of necessary adaptations or Advance Payments. If you receive a qualifying mobility allowance, you are eligible to join the Motability Scheme and can also apply for a grant. However, all applications are means-tested to ensure that support is directed to those who need it most.
How to Apply
To apply for a grant, you’ll need to provide:
✅ Details about your personal transportation needs
✅ Information on your financial circumstances
✅ The financial details of any family member living with you
These grants help make mobility solutions more accessible, ensuring that those who need financial assistance can still benefit from the freedom and independence that the Motability Scheme provides.
