What is Motability

Motability is an independent not-for-profit organisation, which provides mobility solutions for people with disabilities.

How does the Motability Scheme work?

The Motability Scheme can use your mobility allowance to help you obtain a suitable wheelchair accessible vehicle. There are two main options within the scheme:

  • A new motability car on a three-year or five-year contract hire lease.
  • A new or used car on hire purchase, over a term of two to five years.

Once you have chosen which option you wish to use, you then agree to pay over all, or part, of your allowance to Motability Operations for the duration of the contract hire or hire purchase agreement. Motability Operations is the organisation which operates the Motability Scheme on a not-for-profit basis and is owned by the UK's largest banks.
