This scheme enables you to buy or lease cars which can be driven by your carer to accommodate your transport needs.
Eligibility depends upon you receiving the Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance or War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement.
The scheme allows you to transfer all or part of your allowance to motability in order to lease or hire purchase new cars.
Two ways of obtaining a car are by contract hire or hire purchase.
Contract hire is the hassle free choice enabling you to choose a new car every three years. Motability will take care of insurance, RAC breakdown cover, annual tax disc, free replacement of tyres, windows and windscreen; assistance with alternative travel where possible whilst your car is under repair or service. Motability will ensure a painless transfer to a new car at the end of the three year term.
Hire purchase enables you to buy new or used cars. It might suit you better if you prefer to own your car and use your allowance to pay for it; plan to rack up high mileage or want to make extensive and expensive adaptations to the car. You organise your own insurance, MOT if your car is over three years old, tax disc, recovery assistance, repairs and servicing.
No credit checks; just stress free motoring enabling you to own new or used cars.
Choose a car online or visit one of the many car dealers in your area.
