Motability is the UK’s leading car scheme for disabled people. Since it was set up by the Government in 1977, it has provided millions of cars, powered wheelchairs and scooters to help disabled people and their families to lead fuller lives.
The Motability Scheme enables disabled people to use the Higher Rate Mobility Component of their Disability Living Allowance, or War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement to obtain a car, through contract hire or hire purchase schemes. Non-drivers can apply for a car, nominating two other people as drivers, and parents or carers can also apply on behalf of a child.
As a national charity, Motability also raises funds and provides financial assistance to customers towards the cost of larger cars, adaptations, driving lessons or wheelchair accessible vehicles.
Motability has a range of literature available to use when advising disabled people or for passing directly onto the disabled person, or their family.
