Common Motability Questions

Motability 3-year Contract Hire

This scheme is what 95% of our Motability customers prefer, because it takes care of everything. You get a brand new car, serviced, maintained and insured for three years - you even have roadside assistance cover. All you pay for is fuel and oil.

The way it works is very simple. After you've paid an advance payment (where applicable), your Higher Rate Mobility Allowance is transferred to Motability Operations to cover the costs. At the end of the three years, you just return the car and choose a new one. You need at least 12 months' award length remaining when when you apply.

Motability Hire Purchase

This allows you to buy virtually any new or used vehicle at a substantial discount, simply by transferring all or part of your Allowance over four or five years (provided that the amount is sufficient to cover your repayments). Because the car is yours to keep at the end of the period, this option allows you to make any permanent adaptations which may be necessary. Your allowance must be due to run for the full length of the agreement.

Outright Purchase

This gives you the advantage of buying almost any new vehicle at a discount of up to 10% without using the Allowance at all. It's the ideal solution if you're registered disabled but not eligible for the Allowance, or have less than 3 years of the Allowance remaining.

Push/Pull hand control
If you are unable to use the foot pedals in your car, a push and pull device will enable you to control the speed with your hand. Operation: Push the lever forward to apply the brake and pull it backwards to apply the accelerator.

Radial accelerator
Similar to the push and pull control, the radial accelerator can help you control the speed of your car if you are unable to use the foot controls. Operation: To accelerate, push downwards on the lever in a slight radial action, pushing the lever away from the body to brake.

Steering wheel ball
If you have difficulty holding or turning a steering wheel or have the use of only one hand, having a steering wheel ball fitted means you will have more control when steering your car. Operation: Simply hold the ball, making sure your hand is comfortable, and use it to turn the steering wheel in the direction you need.

Left foot accelerators
If you are unable to use your right leg, you could use a pedal transfer to switch the accelerator to the opposite side, enabling you to control the speed with your left foot. Operation: For a twin flip accelerator, you pull down the pedal required and the other pedal flips up automatically. You can then use that pedal while the other is safely folded up out of the way. Floor mounted left foot accelerators operate with a guard to cover the pedal not in use.

Easy release hand brake
If you have limited strength or flexibility in your arms an easy release handbrake device will reduce the effort needed to apply and release the hand brake. Operation: This will depend on the type of device you choose. Some are operated by buttons and some by a small lever.

Infrared controls
If you have limited movement in your upper body, infrared controls can bring everything to your fingertips. They make it easier to manage certain functions in your car, which make it safer or more comfortable to drive. Operation: This is a simple keypad, which is often attached to the steering wheel. You simply press the button of the function you need.

Wheelchair stowage: electric boot hoist
If you cannot lift your wheelchair into your boot an electric hoist will solve this problem by easily taking the weight and manoeuvring into the boot of your car. Operation: This will depend on the model but most are similar in operation. Once you have attached the wheelchair, use the electric keypad to lift and move the wheelchair into the boot.

Rooftop wheelchair stowage
If you need your boot to store other things such as luggage, equipment or even the dog, you might want to store your wheelchair in a rooftop box. Operation: This will depend on the model but most are similar in operation. Once you have attached the wheelchair, a hand-held control operates the lifting, folding and storage of the wheelchair.

Swivel seat
If you have limited body movement or stiff legs a swivel seat can help you get in and out of the car more easily. They can also increase driver and passenger comfort. Operation: A remote control operates the chair as it turns out to face the driver or passenger, allowing plenty of space to sit down on the chair. Use the remote control to then move the chair round into the required position.
