Motability

What is the Motability Scheme?

The Motability Scheme is a charity-operated programme that enables people with disabilities to exchange their mobility allowance to lease a new car, scooter, or powered wheelchair.

It's an affordable and convenient way for disabled people to get mobile. By joining the scheme, you gain increased freedom and independence plus the thrill of having your own brand-new vehicle.

A huge range of makes and models are available from Evans Halshaw, meaning you can find the right car for you.

Vehicles can also be fitted with adaptations according to your needs, helping you drive, access, or store mobility aids in your car. You can name up to two named drivers for your vehicle, and you get to choose a brand-new car every three years.

If you're new to the Motability Scheme or renewing at the end of your existing lease, you're eligible for a £750 New Vehicle Payment. To find out more about this payment and learn more about the Motability Scheme, read our frequently asked questions .
