Who Qualifies for the Motability Scheme?

To be eligible for the Motability Scheme, you need to receive one of the following disability benefits, with at least 12 months remaining on your current award:

  • Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (HRMC DLA)
  • Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (ERMC PIP)
  • War Pensioner's Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
  • Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)

Please note that Attendance Allowance cannot be used for leasing a car through the Scheme.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you are a parent or guardian, you can apply on behalf of a child aged three or older, provided they receive the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the DLA. This makes it possible for families with young children to access the vehicles they need for easier transportation.

If your benefit is not renewed during your lease, you’ll need to return the vehicle once your allowance ends. However, the Motability Scheme is designed to work with the award timelines for the eligible benefits, so you can lease confidently as long as your benefit is active.

One of the benefits of the Motability Scheme is that it does not require a medical assessment. As long as you receive one of the qualifying benefits, you’re eligible to join the Scheme without additional medical checks. Once eligibility is confirmed, you can select a vehicle immediately, with no waiting lists involved.

With Motability, every vehicle comes fully taxed, insured, and serviced, so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout your lease. This comprehensive cover includes repairs, maintenance, and breakdown assistance, giving you a dependable driving experience.
