Financial Help

The Motability Scheme offers a wide range of financial support to make driving more accessible and affordable for people with disabilities in Northern Ireland. By exchanging your eligible mobility allowance, you can lease a brand-new car and wheelchair-accessible vehicle, giving you greater independence and peace of mind.

Motability UK might be able to provide financial assistance to clients who would not otherwise be able to purchase the kind of car they require. A Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV), modifications, driving lessons, or an advance payment for a car could all fall under this category.

We may be able to support you by

  • Advising you about cars and adaptations that would meet your needs; some of which may be available at a low Advance Payment
  • Arranging a lease extension on your current Motability car if it is still suitable
  • Arranging a mobility or driving assessment to find out exactly what you need
  • Considering an application for financial help towards the solution that meets your needs.

If Motability UK is able to provide financial help, you are expected to contribute as much as you can afford towards a vehicle solution that will meet your mobility needs. There is a lot of demand for financial help and they try to ensure that the available money is used to help as many people as possible to become or remain mobile.

What can Motability give financial help towards?

Motability might be able to offer financial help on:

  • Advance Payments on standard production cars. This is the one-off upfront payment on a car
  • Adaptations such as swivel seats and wheelchair hoists. More basic adaptations, such as hand controls, pedal modifications and steering wheel balls are available free of charge through our Motability Managed Adaptations Programme (MMAP).
  • Driving lessons: if you are a Motability customer aged between 16 and 29, you may be eligible for help towards the cost of lessons.
  • Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs) for customers who wish to get in a car while remaining seated in their wheelchair, whether as a driver or passenger. Applications for these vehicles can, in some cases, take a little longer and may require a mobility assessment to fully understand your needs.

Why Agnew Motability?

The Scheme allows you to use all or part of your qualifying mobility allowance to cover the cost of leasing a vehicle. The allowance is paid directly to Motability, ensuring a seamless and straightforward process.

The cost of leasing includes all essential expenses, meaning you only need to budget for fuel or charging costs (for electric vehicles). For hybrid and electric models, the Motability Scheme offers several options to help you transition to a more eco-friendly vehicle.

With Motability, there are no unexpected bills or hidden fees. Everything from insurance to breakdown cover is included in your agreement, making it easy to plan your finances.
