What is Motability?

Motability, the national UK charity, helps disabled people and their families to become more mobile.

The first Motability vehicle was supplied in 1978 and since then more than 1.28 million cars and powered wheelchairs have been provided. The Motability Scheme now has more than 390,000 customers driving, or being driven on the road to freedom.

How does it work?

Motability has special terms arranged with motor manufacturers, banks and insurers so that today a variety of schemes can be offered to enable disabled people to become mobile.

Motability offers three different schemes to help disabled people obtain a vehicle. These are:

• A Contract Hire Scheme for new vehicles
• A Hire Purchase Scheme for new vehicles.
• A Hire Purchase Scheme for used vehicles.

Once a customer has chosen which scheme they wish to join, they then agree to pay over all, or part of their mobility allowance (DLA or WPMS), depending on their choice of vehicle, for the duration of their contract hire, or hire purchase agreement.
