If you wish to use your Motability Vehicle to tow a caravan, you will need to arrange insurance and breakdown cover for this separately. The Motability Scheme is a registered charity that aims to get people who are in receipt of certain allowances suitable transport. The Motability Scheme enables people to get mobile by exchanging their mobility allowance to lease a new Car, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle , Mobility Scooter or Powered Wheelchair.
By joining the scheme, you gain increased freedom and independence plus the thrill of having your own brand-new vehicle. The Motability Scheme provides a simple way to lease a new car, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle , scooter or powered wheelchair without the worry of owning and running one. Motability applications must be received and accepted by Motability by 31 December 2022.
Can I get a home chargepoint on the Motability Scheme?
All in all, we offer simple, worry-free leasing packages, designed to make getting around easier. To qualify for mobility car eligibility, you need to have at least 12 months award length remaining when you apply. An application for a car can also be made on behalf of a child aged three or older, who is entitled to the mobility allowance. Even if you don’t drive, but receive the allowance, you can apply for a car as a passenger and propose two other people as your drivers. There is a wide choice of wheelchair accessible vehicles for sale and knowing which one is right is tricky. Sometimes there’s simply no substitute for seeing for yourself, particularly when it’s an important choice like a new wheelchair car.
Allied Mobility can process you order once all Motability documents are received and approved. Depending on the model and specification of your chosen vehicle, delivery should normally take four to six weeks from completion of your order documentation. We will send you an order confirmation letter, including anticipated delivery date.
What is an Advance Payment?
I decided to stick with the Citroen Berlingo for simplicity, as it was simply the first one that I came across. I simply had to pay for servicing, tyres and repairs locally and reclaim the money that I had spent. You are permitted to drive for 20,000 miles a year, or a total of 60,000 miles over the length of the lease without penalty, which is extremely generous. I have never gone above 45,000 miles and I have had 3 consecutive cars with the scheme.
The online system will be updated once your application is approved. Standard features include front and rear LED headlights, intelligent cruise control, and rear parking sensors, so regardless of which Qashqai you choose, you'll definitely be getting your money's worth. Despite its sleek styling, the DS 4 still offers a good level of practicality. 430 litres of boot space should be plenty enough for most, and there's plenty of head and legroom inside the cabin too, allowing everybody to enjoy the comfortable ride.
Additional Transitional Support (ATS) Grant Programme
At this point, you can also research the available car adaptationsthat can help you with things like getting in and out or stowing a wheelchair. Ramps and lifts can be fitted easily, as can a wheelchair-restraint system (although many may prefer to use the motorhome’s travel seats). If you do need a hydraulic lift, it must be equipped with fail-safe technology.
Drivers under 25 are restricted to petrol, diesel and hybrid cars with engines that have a power output of 120 Brake Horse Power or less and an insurance group of 16 or below. For electric cars, drivers under 25 are restricted to vehicles with an insurance group of 21 or lower and a power output of 140 BHP or less . You cannot apply to join the Scheme if you receive a lower rate or component of mobility allowance or Attendance Allowance.
Breakdown assistance: Sarah’s experience with the RAC and Kwik Fit
There are a variety of specifications available on the Motability scheme, including the entry-level SE Connect, as well as the fully loaded Ultimate version. Whichever variant you opt for, you will benefit from features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, sleek alloy wheels, rear parking assist, and automatic headlights as standard. Elements such as sliding rear seats and multiple storage compartments help to place the Kuga near the top when it comes to practicality.
With its wide grille, narrow headlights, and eye-catching colour configurations, it's a car that looks like no other. Ford have ensured you get plenty of technology with the Kuga also. Front and rear parking sensors come as standard on all models, as well as the sleek SYNC3 infotainment system with navigation. Like other Ford models, 'ST Line' specifications offer sporty extras. Safety is taken care of too, with active lane keep assist, lane departure warning and active blind spot monitoring helping you to stay out of danger, particularly on the motorway. Practicality is great, with a big boot and lots of room on the inside.
Location trackers are one of the ways we make sure our vehicles are being used for the benefit of our customers. You need to have at least 12 months left on your allowance when you apply. If you have less, you'll need to wait until your allowance provider renews your allowance.
A sensor-controlled tailgate gives you convenient access to a boot space large enough for almost anything you have to throw at it. The Mokka is fairly compact when compared to others on this list, but the interior provides plenty of head and legroom in both the front and rear. Boot space is also good, offering enough for a few bags of luggage, but other, larger rivals do provide more. No, we're not describing James Bond, we're talking about the excellent Peugeot 3008 SUV, which is one of the most popular vehicles on the Motability scheme.
We can provide grants towards the cost of up to 40 hours’ driving lessons through an approved instructor, to help a disabled person pass their driving test. We can also provide familiarisation lessons to enable you to get used to a new way of driving or a different vehicle. We provide support to disabled people who are in work or have the offer of work. Support offered through this programme includes grants towards the cost of equipment required for individuals to gain or retain employment. Motability, as a national charity, may be able to provide charitable grants to disabled people who would otherwise be unable to afford the vehicle, adaptations or driving lessons they need. REMOVED We’d love to send you occasional email updates including news, events and special offers from Allied Mobility and Mobility Solutions.
Ranging from standard manual petrol versions, all the way up to automatic e-POWER hybrid options, Nissan have it all covered. Building on the success of its predecessors, the latest iteration also offers sharper styling, enhanced practicality, and a range of intuitive tech. Mild hybrid tech is also available, which means the already super-efficient 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine is even more frugal and punchy, while spec is impressive too.
