Am I eligible for a Motability
car?
To lease a car from Motability, you must be
receiving either:
- Higher Rate Mobility Component (HRMC) of the
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) – currently £49.85 per week –
or,
- War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS) –
currently £55.65 per week.
If you choose to lease a car through
Motability’s Contract Hire scheme you must have at least 12 months’
award length remaining. For customers choosing to buy a car with a
Hire Purchase agreement, you will need to be receiving the
allowance for the full length of your agreement.
Do I need to have a
driving licence?
If you opt for a lease agreement you do not need to drive. You can
nominate up to two drivers who may be friends or relatives, and
parents or carers can apply on behalf of a child aged three years
and upwards.
However, proposed drivers must not have any serious driving
convictions, disqualifications, or endorsements within the last 5
years. There are also some restrictions on drivers under 25 and
those with provisional licenses.
Taking a test drive
At Evans Halshaw we like to give you the
opportunity to test drive your chosen car and we understand that a
‘quick round the block’ test drive may not be enough, that why we
offer you a comprehensive test drive so you can be sure about your
purchase. Here are a few things you may wish to do or check on your
test drive:
- Getting in and out of the car can sometimes
be a struggle and often has a big impact on how suitable any
vehicle is to your needs; so try getting in and out several times
while in the dealership.
- Take your time and get comfortable, the
test drive is for you and your benefit.
- Check that the car doors are wide enough for
you to get in and out easily, along with any equipment you may
have. But make sure that you are still able to reach the door to
shut it when seated
- Check that the doors are not too heavy,
making them hard to open and close.
- If you are selecting a two-door car, make
sure you can turn and stretch for the seat belt. It’s a lot further
back in two-door cars than in a standard four-door car.
- Drive on a number of different road types,
and try different manoeuvres such as reverse parking to ensure that
car’s performance is what you expect and that you are able to see
from every angle.
- Check that you are comfortable doing a hill
start in the car.
- Nominated drivers should also take the car
for a test drive, but be careful not to let them over-influence
your decision.
The vehicle will be yours for 3 years so take
your time and make sure it is right for you.
