The easy way to the car of your choice With the Motability Scheme you can simply exchange all, or part of your mobility allowance, to lease a brand new car from a huge choice of latest makes and models. Today over 600,000 customers up and down the country enjoy the options and independence the Scheme brings. Every lease is all-inclusive, which means everything listed on the left is in with the price you pay. So the only running cost you have for your brand new car is fuel. Our standard lease is over three years and payments are simply deducted from your mobility allowance every four weeks and paid directly to us by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
Who we are We are Motability Operations Ltd, a company authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. All Motability Scheme vehicles are leased to customers by us.
At the end of your lease you have the option to simply hand your car back, or if like most customers you choose to stay with us, you can just pick a new car and take out another lease.

Right car, right choices
You choose the car and how much you want to spend, whether that’s less than your allowance, the same as your allowance, or a car that costs the same plus an Advance Payment. Then it’s up to you who drives, and it doesn’t have to be you. Also, if an adaptation could help, lots of our most popular choices can be fitted at no extra cost at the start of your lease.
You choose who drives You don’t have to drive to lease a car through the Scheme. Many of our customers don’t drive. That’s why the insurance with your lease is for up to two named drivers. So your car could be driven by a family member, friend or carer, it doesn’t have to be you. As with most car insurance, there are some restrictions in terms of convictions, endorsements and drivers aged under 25. For more information about who can drive your car, go to motability.co.uk/drivers.

Could adaptations help your driving experience? Adaptations could make travelling easier. We offer options to help with driving, accessing your car, or storing a wheelchair. Many are available at no extra cost if fitted at the start of your lease and in most cases are fitted so that your named drivers can continue to use the standard controls.
It’s not just cars you can lease on the Scheme As well as new cars you can also lease a wide range of wheelchair accessible vehicles, scooters and powered wheelchairs through the Motability Scheme, with the same all-inclusive package you get with a car. You can request brochures and find out more about small, medium and large scooter models and powered wheelchairs at motability.co.uk/scooters and for wheelchair accessible vehicles visit motability.co.uk/wavs.

It’s time to take a test drive Visiting dealerships means you get to see the cars up close, speak to trained Motability Scheme specialists and importantly, you can arrange test drives. You will be able to discuss all of your requirements in detail and be given expert advice about good options for you.
Trade-in your old car Lots of Motability Scheme dealers offer trade-in facilities for your old car. This could help finance the Advance Payment or optional extras for your new car.

At your chosen dealerships you’ll be able to take test drives, which are by far the best way to make sure that a particular model is exactly what you want. If you don’t intend to drive yourself, take a family member, friend or carer, who’ll be able to take test drives for you, when you visit. With over 5,000 dealerships up and down the country, there’s bound to be one or more near you. Go to our online

Important notes about PIP reassessments
If you currently receive Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and are invited for reassessment, as long as your application for the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is successful, you will still be eligible to apply to join the Scheme. If the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has already invited you to apply for PIP reassessment, you will need to wait for the outcome before considering whether to join the Scheme. If you become a customer, then lose your allowance, we will offer you the chance to buy the car, or you could return it with no further payments to make. If that’s the case, you may also be entitled to a £250 Return to Dealer payment. For more information, visit motability.co.uk/pip.
