What is Motability? Find out everything you need to know about the Motability Scheme. The Motability Scheme is a Government funded initiative that provides people with a disability the opportunity to lease a brand-new car every 3 years, where the cost of everything (except fuel) is included - meaning worry free motoring! Cars can be adapted to suit the requirements of the customers, making them more accessible and helping all to get on the road.
Am I Eligible for the Motability Scheme? You can apply to join the Motability Scheme if you receive one of these disability allowances: Higher rate mobility part of Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Higher rate mobility part of Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Enhanced rate mobility part of Adult Disability Payment (Scotland), Higher rate mobility component of Child Disability Payment (Scotland), War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS), Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP).

Motability Scheme FAQs

Who qualifies for the Motability Scheme?

You can qualify for the Motability Scheme if you receive a qualifying mobility allowance and have at least 12 months remaining on your award. Eligible benefits include the Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP), the Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP) and War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement (WPMS). If you're eligible, you can exchange all or part of your mobility allowance for a brand-new Motability vehicle with insurance, servicing, maintenance and breakdown cover included.

What PIP rate do I need for Motability?

To qualify for the Motability Scheme through Personal Independence Payment (PIP), you must receive the Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of PIP and have at least 12 months remaining on your award. The standard rate mobility component does not qualify. Your mobility allowance is paid directly towards your Motability lease, helping you access a brand-new vehicle with many of the running costs included.

Can I get a Motability car if I don't drive?

Yes, you can get a Motability car even if you do not drive yourself. The Motability Scheme allows you to nominate family members, friends, carers or support workers as named drivers. The vehicle must be used for your benefit, but you do not need to hold a driving licence. This makes Motability suitable for both drivers and passengers with mobility needs.

What is included in the Motability Scheme?

The Motability Scheme includes a brand-new vehicle, insurance for up to three named drivers, servicing, routine maintenance, breakdown cover, road tax and tyre replacement due to normal wear. MOT testing is also included when required. These benefits help make Motability one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to access a new vehicle.

Can someone else drive my Motability car?

Yes, someone else can drive your Motability car as a named driver. Most Motability lease agreements allow up to three named drivers, subject to eligibility criteria. Named drivers can include a spouse, partner, family member, friend or carer. The vehicle must primarily be used for the benefit of the Motability customer, even if they are not the person driving.

How much does a Motability car cost?

The cost of a Motability car depends on the vehicle you choose. Many Motability vehicles are available simply by exchanging your qualifying mobility allowance, while others require a one-off Advance Payment. Your lease includes insurance, servicing, maintenance, breakdown cover and road tax, helping to reduce the cost and uncertainty of vehicle ownership.

What is an Advance Payment on Motability?

An Advance Payment is a one-off upfront payment required on some Motability vehicles. The amount varies depending on the model, specification and demand. Some vehicles are available with no Advance Payment, while others require an additional contribution alongside your mobility allowance. Advance Payments are set by Motability and updated regularly.

How long does it take to get a Motability car?

The time it takes to receive a Motability car depends on the vehicle you choose and current manufacturer availability. Some vehicles may be available from stock within a few weeks, while factory-ordered vehicles can take longer. Our Motability Specialists can provide the latest delivery information and help you find available vehicles at our Coventry, Leamington Spa and Stourbridge dealerships.

Can I get an electric car through Motability?

Yes, electric cars are available through the Motability Scheme. Electric vehicles offer smooth performance, low running costs and zero tailpipe emissions, making them an increasingly popular choice for Motability customers. Green 4 Motor Company offers electric Motability options, including the Geely EX5, with availability and Advance Payments updated regularly through the Motability Scheme.

Which Mazda and Geely vehicles are available on the Motability Scheme?

Green 4 Motor Company offers a wide range of Motability vehicles from Mazda and Geely. Available Mazda models may include the Mazda2 Hybrid, Mazda CX-30 and Mazda CX-60, while current Geely Motability vehicles include the Geely EX5 and Geely Starray EM-i.
