Some Frequently Asked Questions About Motability

What is Motability? Motability is a national charity that offers a scheme to enable disabled people to obtain a car, powered wheelchair or scooter by using Government funded mobility allowances.

Am I eligible? 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 Motability component of the Disability Living Allowance
* War pensioners Mobility Supplement

Around two-thirds of Motability customers drive, but non-drivers can get a car as a passenger. Similarly, parents and carers can also apply on behalf of a child.

There are:

* NO medical assessments
* NO credit checks
* NO waiting lists

How does the Motability Scheme work? Simply exchange your mobility allowance for a worry-free mobility package, on either the Car Scheme or the Powered Wheelchair and Scooter Scheme.

Car Scheme includes:

* A new car every three years
* Full insurance
* Servicing, maintenance and repairs
* Road tax
* Tyres
* Breakdown cover
* 60,000 miles over three years
* Adaptations and wheelchair accessible vehicles are also available

Getting on the Road. The most popular option, chosen by over 95% of customers, is the contract hire of a new car. Customers choose a new car every three years with insurance, road tax, servicing, tyres and breakdown cover all included in a single monthly payment. For most Motability customers, a standard production car, including automatic models, is suitable for their needs. However, a wide range of adaptations, such as hand controls, and wheelchair accessible vehicles are also available. Once their application has been accepted, the customer pays all, or part, of their allowance to Motability for the period of the contract hire or hire purchase agreement. Almost half of the customers on the Contract Hire Car Scheme simply transfer their allowance to Motability, for the period of the agreement, without any additional payment. However, on larger or more expensive models, an additional payment may be required.

Financial Help. Motability may also be able to offer financial help to customers who would otherwise be unable to afford the mobility solution that they need. For example, to help towards the cost of the advance payment for a suitable car, adaptations, driving lessons or a wheelchair accessible vehicle.
