The Motability Scheme enables anyone in receipt of a higher rate mobility allowance (such as the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment, or the Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance) to use their mobility allowance to lease a car, scooter, powered wheelchair, or Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle.
You simply exchange all, or part of your mobility allowance to lease the vehicle of your choice from us. With our help, you can choose the vehicle you want at a price that works for you and payments are deducted from your higher rate mobility allowance every four weeks. This is then paid directly to us by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), so you don’t need to worry about making payments to us directly.
We take care of running costs such as servicing, maintenance, breakdown cover, tyre repair and any part replacements and windscreen repairs. We also cover insurance for up to three named drivers, which does not have to include you. All you need to do is add fuel and you are good to go!
