What is the Motability Scheme?
The Motability Scheme is a government-funded initiative that aims to help disabled individuals and their families become mobile. By offering affordable access to vehicles, the scheme helps disabled people maintain independence.
The Motability Scheme is available to anyone who receives a higher rate mobility allowance benefit from the government. Recipients can exchange all or part of their allowance for a lease on a brand new Motability car, scooter or wheelchair. When they do this, they can receive a vehicle that suits their own individual needs from a local car dealer, such as Aylesbury Motor Group, at a reduced cost.
The Motability Scheme allows Motability users to enjoy the benefit of a brand new car and the increased freedom that comes with being mobile at an affordable price. Since Motability covers many of the running costs associated with owning a vehicle, it’s an easy way for disabled people to become mobile without any additional financial burden. Using the Motability Scheme can help save on costs such as car insurance, maintenance and repairs, breakdown cover, annual car tax and any adaptations that might be needed on the vehicle.
The scheme was set up in 1978 and has been helping drivers with disabilities stay mobile ever since. During that time, the Motability Scheme has helped to provide disabled people across the United Kingdom with access to more than three and a half million cars. It is currently available to individuals receiving a range of disability benefits, including:
- Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance
- Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment
- War Pensioner's Mobility Supplement
- Armed Forces Independence Payment
