motability schemes

We are able to offer three ways to help with your mobility. either Motability new car contract hire scheme or Motability new car hire purchase plan in exchange for all, or part, of the higher rate mobility component of the disability living allowance. alternatively as a registered disabled person, you can also purchase selected new cars outright at a favourable discount on our mobility plan.

1. Motability new car contract hire scheme
This low-cost package is easily the most popular in the motability scheme. all you have to do is pay an advance payment (if applicable) and then in exchange for your allowance you can get a brand new car for 3 years. your car will be fully maintained, serviced and insured for the 3-year period. You can travel up to 15,000 miles a year, without an excess mileage charge and all you have to pay for is your fuel and oil. When the 3-year period is over you simply return your car and choose a new one!

2. Motability new car hire purchase plan
We also offers a favourable discount on a wide range of vehicles that can be purchased using all or part of your allowance. The length of a hire purchase agreement is 4 or 5 years and at the end of the period the car is yours to keep.

3. Mobility plan
If you're registered disabled and don't qualify for motability assistance then you will be able to take advantage of our favourable discounts and purchase many new cars outright.
