Many of the main car dealerships in the U.K also run a scheme called Motability for people in receipt of certain disability benefits. The scheme allows the user to have a brand new car in exchange for their weekly allowance. Contact your local Motability car dealership to find out if you are eligible for this scheme or your local benefits office.
Motability enables people who have disabilities to own a car that has been adapted to their needs if they need adaptations. There is a huge range of cars available on the scheme, but also larger vehicles such as vans that can be adapted to hold an electric wheelchair if you are a wheelchair user.
It does not matter what type of car you would like there are over 2,000 on the Motability scheme for you to choose from.
All the expenses of running a vehicle are also taken care of with the Motability car scheme. This includes the insurance for up to 2 drivers, the road tax, all services and maintenance of the vehicle. Tyres and windscreen replacement and 60,000 mileage allowance over the period of 3 years. After the 3 year period you have the choice of what to do next. You can either just trade the current car in for another brand new one, it doesn’t even have to be the same make or model, you will have the option to make a final payment and the car would then be yours to keep, you would take over legal ownership of the vehicle rather than the Motability scheme if you chose this option though.
Many disabled people up to 97% who have used the Motability scheme to lease or purchase a car have said that they would recommend the service to other friends and family if they ever needed to use the scheme. It is an easy stress free experience for the user; your local garage will take care of all the details and arrangements for delivery of the vehicle. If you are thinking about getting a car through the Motability scheme then do contact your local car dealership who deal in Motability and they will be able to advise you on any questions you may have before deciding to use the scheme.
