What is Motability?

The Motability Scheme provides an affordable, worry-free way for people with disabilities to lease a car, scooter or powered wheelchair in exchange for their mobility allowance.

It provides affordable, convenient, worry-free motoring to over 630,000 disabled customers, their families and carers. Ford has been the biggest provider of vehicles through the Motability Scheme every year since 2012, delivering many tens of thousands of vehicles to Motability customers. Ford delivers almost one in five of the vehicles supplied to Motability customers.

Am I Eligible? To be eligible to join the Motability Scheme, you need to receive one of the mobility allowances listed below and have at least 12 months’ award length remaining. The Attendance Allowance cannot be used to lease a car through the Motability Scheme. With Motability contract hire you do not necessarily need to drive yourself.
