Did you know there are three ways to get a wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) from Allied Mobility? Whether you’re hiring for short or long term, leasing through the Motability Scheme or buying new or used outright, we’ll not only help find the perfect WAV for you and your family’s needs, but with our extensive aftercare programme, we’ll also ensure you’re supported throughout your entire journey with us.
Allied Mobility WAVs
As the UK’s leading wheelchair accessible vehicle manufacturer, you can be confident that the converted wheelchair car you receive will not only be built to the highest safety standards, but it will also be stylish and brimming with all of the same great features you’ve come to expect from a modern car. Our expert design engineering team get us started by creating unique conversions that focus on wheelchair accessibility, safety, space and comfort. Then it’s over to the specialist production team who build more than 150 wheelchair accessible vehicles each week.
WAVs on the Motability Scheme
The Motability Scheme allows you to exchange and use your qualifying disability allowance towards the cost of leasing a brand-new or nearly-new car, depending on your preference or budget. To make things easier for you, the Scheme receives this qualifying allowance directly from your provider.
What’s Included on the Motability Scheme?
Alongside a brand-new or nearly-new WAV, you will benefit from an all-inclusive package which includes:
- Insurance for up to three drivers
- Servicing and maintenance which includes an annual safety check of your accessible vehicle features.
- Full breakdown cover
- Tyre repair and replacement
- Home chargepoint and standard installation included in your lease if you choose an electric WAV on the Motability Scheme
- HomeStay™ Mobile Servicing (exclusive with Allied Mobility)
Am I Eligible for the Motability Scheme?
If you’re not already a Motability Scheme customer, you may be eligible to join the Scheme if you’re in receipt of one of the following disability allowances:
- The higher rate mobility part of Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Enhanced rate part of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) (known as Child/ Adult Disability Payment if you live in Scotland)
- Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
- War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
You must also have at least 12 months remaining on your qualifying allowance in order to apply. If there’s less than 12 months left on your qualifying allowance, you will need to wait until your allowance provider renews your award.
What is an Advance Payment?
As well as your monthly payment to the Motability Scheme, you will have to pay an Advance Payment (AP) which is a one-off, upfront payment made directly to us. Due to a WAV’s specialised conversion, the AP for a wheelchair accessible car can be slightly higher than the AP for a standard car.
If the Advance Payment of your chosen WAV is outwith your budget, you may be entitled to financial help to cover the cost of your AP, or for additional adaptations you need, through the Motability Foundation’s WAV Grant Programme.

Browse our range of used WAVsUK-Wide Home Demonstration & Delivery
Whether you choose to lease an Allied Mobility WAV on the Motability Scheme or decide to purchase your new or used wheelchair accessible vehicle outright, you’ll be glad to know that our disability cars are available UK-wide.
After chatting to our friendly mobility advisors, they’ll use their expert knowledge to suggest a suitable car for you and your family. This will be based on your wheelchair size, the additional passenger seats you’ll require and any specific manufacturer features you’re looking for such as Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto, a reverse camera or even heated seats.
No-Obligation, Free Home Demonstration
You’ll then receive a free home demonstration where your dedicated local mobility consultant will visit you on a date and time that suits, to demonstrate all the accessible features of the WAV. They’ll answer any questions you may have and if you decide it’s right for for you, can help you fill out all the necessary Motability Scheme or purchase paperwork required to place your order.
Free Home Delivery, Nationwide
With UK-wide delivery, we’ll also bring your WAV to your home, or preferred residence, at no extra cost. To ensure you feel safe and confident in your new accessible car, your delivery specialist will run through all of the vehicle’s accessibility features once more.
If you’re already leasing a car or WAV through the Motability Scheme or are part-exchanging your old vehicle, we’ll take it away with us, allowing you to enjoy your new vehicle with no lingering worries.
Book a Home DemonstrationWe’re With You and Your WAV Every Step of the Way
Our support doesn’t end once you’ve got your new wheelchair accessible vehicle. You will benefit from our excellent Allied Aftercare™ programme.
HomeStay™ Mobile Service
With our HomeStay™ Mobile Service, you can have your vehicle serviced right outside your front door!
For Motability Scheme customers this service is free of charge throughout the duration of your Scheme lease. We can visit you and service your Ford, Vauxhall or Peugeot (excluding eHorizon™) wheelchair accessible car with our mobile service vans. For other makes of vehicle, we’ll help you book your WAV into your local garage.
If you own your own WAV, you’ll pay the same standard maintenance rates that you would at a regular motor dealer service centre.
Annual Safety Check
If you decide to lease an Allied Mobility new or nearly-new WAV through the Motability Scheme, you’ll benefit from an annual vehicle safety inspection where a trained technician will arrange a suitable time to come to your home and carry out a safety check covering key accessibility and vehicle components. (This will usually happen on the same day as your home vehicle service if this applies to you.)
