Motability is the key to trouble-free motoring for thousands of people with disabilities and their families.
Motability take care of the practicalities, including:
With all of this covered under the Motability Scheme, you can enjoy the freedom of the open road.
There are three main ways in which Motability can turn your mobility benefit into the travel solution for your needs:
Most Motability customers choose contract hire as the best way to obtain and pay for their car. Contract hire offers worry-free motoring and the convenience of a single, regular payment that includes insurance, maintenance and roadside recovery.
Your contract hire lease has been developed through our long experience with millions of Motability customers. It comes with peace of mind built in.
Once Motability accepts your application, the advance payment and weekly rental are price protected. This lasts for three months from the date your agreement is printed - provided that the car description on the agreement is not altered later.
Your contract hire lease price, which will vary according to the make and model you choose, includes:
If you choose optional extras that aren't fitted as standard to your chosen car - such as a CD player - they can not be included in the lease cost. You must have them fitted by your supplying dealer and pay for them yourself.
Although it has many advantages, contract hire isn't right for everyone.
You might prefer hire purchase if you:
If you choose hire purchase, you negotiate the actual purchase price with your Motability dealer. However, it's important to remember that you are also responsible for comprehensive insurance, breakdown recovery and less predictable costs such as repairs and servicing, which are all included in the contract hire lease.
Once you have decided on your car, our Motability specialist will complete the application form with you.
You will need to provide us with:
When the paperwork is complete simply sign the declaration on the application form. Our Motability specialist will then send your application and other paperwork to Motability for processing.
It may sound complicated, but the overall process is very simple and our Motability specialists will always be on hand to help. If you have any questions please contact us today.
Do you receive a qualifying mobility allowance that has at least 12 months remaining on it? If so, you can lease a brand new Ford, Kia or ŠKODA Motability vehicle from Birchwood!
Because you use your higher rate mobility allowance to fund your Motability lease, you’re never out of pocket. Even if you choose a higher specification model, you benefit from a low Advance Payment.
Your Motability vehicle can be modified to make it easier for you to access, drive and load heavy items (such as a wheelchair) – many adaptations are available free of charge.
All of your Motability requirements are met by us, which means there’s no need to go anywhere else.
Each of our East and West Sussex branches features dedicated Motability experts who can help you with every stage of your Motability journey.
