Motability Scheme

How Motability works and who is eligible

If you receive either of the following benefits and have at least 12 months' award remaining you can exchange some or all of this to lease either a car, scooter or powered wheelchair from Motability.

• Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance (HRMC DLA)
• Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (ERMC PIP)
• War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
• Armed Forces Independence (AFIP)

Parents can apply on behalf of a child who receives the allowance, but please speak to your dealer, as some products may not be suitable for all ages.

Only the person in receipt of the allowance can use the scooter or powered wheelchair. It should not be used, for example, by your partner or spouse.

Unfortunately, the Attendance Allowance cannot be used to lease cars, scooters or powered wheelchairs through Motability.

Nothing to worry about with Motability

Motability scooters and powered wheelchairs are available on a three year Contract Hire lease (five years for some custom-built powered wheelchairs). This simply means that you lease the product from us and that the relevant amount of your allowance will be paid directly to us every four weeks, to cover the lease payments. Leaving you to enjoy freedom and independence without the worry of organising insurance and dealing with repairs or breakdowns. Hire purchase (where you buy the product in installments) is not available.

As most scooters and powered wheelchairs through Motability cost less to lease than the total of your four weekly allowance, you could also get some money back!

Tyres and breakdown assistance

There is no need to worry about puntures or damage to yout tyres as they are always repaired or replaced whenever there is a problem. If you are out and about when you get a puncture preventing you from being able to get home safely, our partners at Motability Assist will help get you, and your scooter or powered wheelchair home.

You can also take your scooter or powered wheelchair abroad to use, but it is worth noting that it will not be covered by breakdown assistance, and certain insurance restrictions apply.

Insurance

Insurance is important in case of an accident, damage or theft of the product. With Motability, you are covered in these instances, with no excess to pay. The insurance also covers you against any damage caused by your scooter or powered wheelcahir to other products, property or people.

Batteries

*Your scooter will come with a battery as standard so all you have to do is remember to keep it charged. If anything goes wrong with the battery through normal every day use, it will be replaced, free of charge.

Modifications

The majority of scooters and many powered wheelchairs come as standard from the manufacturer (except in cases of custom-built powered wheelchairs).

All our scooters will come with a weatherproof cover as standard, so you can get out and about whatever the weather! For additional adaptations speak to your dealer to discuss prices and details.
