Motability
Motability is a charity which helps disabled people and their families to become more mobile. It does this by helping them to use the Higher Rate Mobility Component of their Disability Living Allowance (DLA), or their War Pensions Mobility Supplement (WPMS), to lease or buy a car, or to buy a powered wheelchair or scooter.
How the Motability scheme works
There are four main ways in which Motability can turn your mobility allowance into the travel solution for your needs.
- A new car on a three-year contract hire lease.
- A new or used car on hire purchase, over a term of two to five years.
- A new or used powered wheelchair, or scooter on hire purchase, over a term of one to three years.
- A new or used powered wheelchair or scooter on contract hire lease for up to three years.
