Most drivers choose contract hire as they like the convenience of a single, regular payment that includes comprehensive insurance, breakdown cover, servicing, maintenance, and repairs – plus with the contract hire package they don’t need to drive. They can nominate up to two drivers who may be friends or relatives (plus a third driver can be added during your lease), and parents or carers can apply on behalf of a child aged three years and upwards.

If you want a plug-in hybrid or electric car on the Motability Scheme, you could get a FREE home charging station installed with a government grant.

Leasing from Motability gives customers the freedom to make adaptations to the car, which can have a significant effect on their mobility. Popular adaptations include an adjustable steering column, push-pull hand controls, left-foot accelerators, an electric hoist to lift powered wheelchairs and scooters into the car, swivel seats, easy-release handbrakes, pedal extensions, steering wheel balls, and infrared controls.
