Yes, as long as you receive a qualifying mobility allowance with at least 12 months left. You can check right now – just answer a few questions.
Different vehicles suit different people, so we’ll help you decide between our vehicle types and any adaptations. We’ll help you make sure you’re making the right choice for you.
We’ll take your payments straight from your allowance provider, to make paying simple. So you know – you might need to top this up with an Advance Payment.
You can start applying online if it’s a car or a WAVWheelchair Accessible Vehicle. Once you’ve had a test drive and you’ve found a vehicle you like, visit a Motability Scheme dealer and they’ll order it for you.
You’ll pick it up from your local dealer, if it’s a car. If it’s a different vehicle, they’ll deliver it to your home. Once you’re happy with it, you can start enjoying your vehicle.
We’ll arrange your insurance. You can add up to three named drivers and can change these at any time.
We’ll cover your regular services and routine repairs, to keep your vehicle running perfectly.
We’ll give you breakdown cover so you can travel with peace of mind. If you get a car or a WAVWheelchair Accessible Vehicle, you’ll get RAC cover.
We’ll arrange and cover the standard cost of a home chargepoint and its installation, or give you access to the bp pulse network of over 9,000 public chargepoints.
We can help you decide – it’ll only take a couple of minutes.
