With the Motability Scheme, you can lease a brand-new car with insurance, breakdown, servicing and maintenance all included. Changing cars is hassle-free and we will contact you a few months before your lease expires to discuss your options.

What’s more, whatever car you choose, the price always includes:

Insurance for up to 3 named drivers (which can be yourself, family or friends)
Servicing and maintenance
Many adaptations at no extra cost
Full RAC breakdown assistance

The all-inclusive package package provides similar cover to what you would expect under a fully comprehensive insurance policy. Further details are below.

About the Scheme

The Motability Scheme is a car leasing scheme, which allows you to exchange some, or all, of your mobility qualifying allowance towards a brand-new car of your choice. Today, over 600,000 customers in the UK have benefited from the options and independence the Scheme offers.

The Motability Scheme is a national charity that ensures that everyone has some form of independence because cars offer freedom that would be quite unattainable without them. From the ability to go to work and earn a living, visiting friends & family, seeing parts of the country that are otherwise inaccessible or simply going shopping, cars deliver independence on an unprecedented scale.

Here at Drive Motor Retail, we’re very pleased to be able to deliver the full Hyundai, Vauxhall, MG, Leapmotor, Citroen, FIAT and Peugeot Motability Scheme service to all our customers. We’re passionate about putting you behind the wheel of not just any car, but a car that’s right for you; a car that puts you on the road in safety and comfort.

Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about the Motability Scheme, but if you have any questions or need further help and advice, please get in touch with one of our Motability Specialists today.

Servicing & Maintenance

All of your regular servicing and maintenance is included and taken care of by your dealer. So you’ll have no unexpected repair bills with your Motability car.

Annual car tax

When you take delivery of your car, it will already be taxed for the first year. If you live in Great Britain or Northern Ireland, we will arrange for your car to be taxed each year throughout your lease (unless you have chosen to pay tax privately).

Full breakdown assistance from RAC

The RAC Motability Scheme Assist helpline and roadside staff are specially trained to handle your calls and are available on 0800 73 111 73, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Assistance is provided for recovery, either at the roadside or at home.

Window and windscreen repair or replacement

Should anything happen to your windows or windscreen you can get them repaired or replaced at no extra cost.

60,000 mileage allowance over three years

You get 60,000 mileage allowance over three years with cars. However, if the total mileage is higher than the allowance when you return the car, there is a charge of 5p for every additional mile.

Many adaptations at no extra cost

If you need adaptations to make your car easier, safer or simply more comfortable to use, you’ll be pleased to know that many of the most popular ones are now available at no additional cost.
