The Motability Scheme: What Comes With

Getting around can be more awkward if you’re disabled but with the Motability Scheme you may find it a bit easier. If you’re entitled to the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Loving Allowance or the War Pensioners Mobility Supplement, you should be able to get a car through the Motability scheme. You don’t have to lose your freedom if you have a disability with this Scheme. It’s not just the cost of the car that’s covered with this scheme; here are just some of the other extras that come with your new car.

The Motability Scheme doesn’t just present you with an old banger and expect you to get on with it. Not only do you get to pick a brand new car, you can also trade it in for another new car every three years. Because this scheme is designed to be used by the disabled, most adaptations needed will also be covered. Motability are there to ensure your car is as comfortable and safe as possible

Disabled vehicles will also come with free fully comprehensive insurance. Because the Motability Scheme is a full service, they will be happy to go through all the paper work with you and will also take into account any no claims bonuses you’ve acquired over time.

You’ll also find you don’t have to worry about routine maintenance with a Motability scheme vehicle. A full breakdown service comes as standard with the car. Not only are all your servicing needs covered by the Scheme, but if anything needs fixing this will also usually be sorted for you too. Any tyre replacements along with window and windscreens will also be covered by the Scheme.

The only things that aren’t covered are the day to day expenses of keeping your car going. Things like fuel and oil and any engine liquids will be your responsibility. Any traffic violations would also be your responsibility as well. You’ll also have a mileage limit, most likely 60,000 miles for the three year period.
