The Motability Scheme enables people on disability benefits to exchange all or part of their qualifying weekly mobility allowance for a brand-new car, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle, scooter or powered wheelchair
The Motability Scheme allows individuals on disability benefits to exchange all or part of their qualifying weekly mobility allowance for a brand-new car, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle, scooter or powered wheelchair, providing them with greater freedom and independence. According to the latest figures from Motability, there are approximately 690,000 customers across the UK.
However, many individuals who may have been receiving higher rates of qualifying benefits for some time, or new claimants, might not be aware of a £750 payment available to those leasing a vehicle for the first time. This is known as the New Vehicle Payment for cars and Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles and is only available once per customer.
While leasing a vehicle through the Motability Scheme, some vehicles require an advance payment. It's crucial to understand that both these schemes are operated by Motability Operations Ltd and follow the same eligibility guidelines. Motability recently updated its price list for July to September, 2024 and currently offers over 900 cars, including over 65 cars that require no advance payment. This means the £750 New Vehicle Payment would go directly to the claimant.
