About the Motability Scheme
The Motability Scheme enables disabled people to obtain a car, powered wheelchair or scooter simply by using their government-funded mobility allowances. Customers exchange their allowance for a worry-free mobility package, including:
- Car, powered wheelchair or scooter
- Insurance
- Servicing
- Tyres
- Breakdown cover
- Adaptations and wheelchair accessible vehicles are also available.
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 Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance
- War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement.
Around two-thirds of participants in the scheme 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.
