It’s a scheme that can work for everyone with a disability whether they drive or not, because if you qualify but you can’t actually drive yourself you can choose up to three people who can be put on the insurance to drive the vehicle on your behalf.
If you need a special adaptation to make the vehicle easier to drive or to get into and out of, many can be ordered and fitted at no extra cost.
It really is ‘worry-free’ motoring, because the overall package that comes with every Motability vehicle includes insurance, regular servicing and maintenance, breakdown cover, annual road tax, and a mileage limit that lets you travel 20,000 miles each year in the vehicle. All you really have to pay for is the fuel.
Some wheelchair users choose to order a specially adapted WAV instead of a car. Leasing a WAV means wheelchair users can travel in comfort while seated in their chair as either a passenger or in some vehicles as the driver.
