Motability Motor Vehicle Scheme - Introduction & Summary

For all those people who have disabilities or loss of mobility, making your way around could be a real problem. Thankfully, there are lots of options to help keep them out, about, and enjoying life! For those who fall into this category and you're looking for a solution to regain your independence via a car, you could benefit a good deal through the Motability Car Scheme. This excellent initiative aims to give people an alternative chance to purchase a vehicle which suits their particular needs; whether it should be wheelchair accessible or have 'adaptations' included, which make driving simpler for you. The Motability Car Scheme will also enable you to consider factors such as petrol consumption, size, and general suitability to suit your needs and anybody else that may make use of the vehicle.

The great thing about the Motability Car Scheme is it is intended specifically for those people who need it most: people who claim the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance or the War Pensioner's Mobility Pension. The scheme functions by turning any element of that allowance into payment on one of over 4000 brand new cars. There are no credit checks, no waiting, and no assessments of any sort required. If you receive either of the named allowances, you are eligible for the Motability Car Scheme. As well the person who requests your vehicle doesn't even need to drive it: they are able to nominate up to two named drivers who will drive the vehicle for them.
Many people who make use of the Motability Car Scheme choose the 'contract hire' option. This is certainly great since it includes all of the benefits of a lease, i.e things are all covered, including MOT, servicing, insurance, and breakdown cover. Depending on the agreement that's taken, each Motability Car Scheme vehicle includes a certain mileage allowance. For instance, a 3 year contract will often allow 60,000 miles, whereas a five year contract offers 100,000 miles - aforementioned is likely to apply only to WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) agreements. All the vehicles available from the scheme are priced reasonably and realistically, which has a range accessible to those that want more choice. Whether you've got a lot to spend or merely a little, the Motability Car Scheme will have a vehicle to suit your needs. Plus there are no advance payments, so you can get mobile straight away.

Each lease agreement is designed so that a seamless transition can be done at the end of the plan, so once your three or 5 years expires, you'll receive a new car. You will find a very flexible and generous deterioration policy that applies, which even covers the damage that may be caused by wheelchairs entering and exiting the car. The entire Motability Car Scheme really has been made to help people, rather than to simply make money, so you're able to have faith that the scheme has your best interests as the primary goal when you're looking for a new vehicle - and a new lease of life!
