Question 1

What is a Motability Scheme?

Accepted Answer

The Motability Scheme is a government-run charity that leases vehicles to disabled people. It was founded in 1977 and has been going strong ever since, helping hundreds of thousands of individuals get the transportation they need every year. If you are considered severely disabled by your doctor or specialist, then there's a chance for you to become eligible for this scheme.

Question 2

Can you get two cars on Motability?

Accepted Answer

The Motability Scheme allows you to get one car, so no. You can choose from several different kinds of vehicles and add customizations if necessary, but there will only be one vehicle on your contract at a time.

Question 3

Do I own the car at the end of the lease?

Accepted Answer

At the end of the lease agreement you will not own the car and it will be returned, you have three options: - Lease another car through the Motability Scheme - You may be able keep your current car if you wish to extend the lease - Return your car and have your allowance reinstated

Question 4

How long does it take to get a Motability car?

Accepted Answer

It usually takes between three and six weeks to get a Motability car depending on your model. This can feel like a long time, but it's important not to rush yourself when choosing, so there is no need for haste!

Motability offers an excellent service to help the disabled get behind the wheel of their car. They have many options that are compatible with everyone's budget!

Question 5

At what age does Motability stop?

Accepted Answer

Motability stops at 65 years old. The government runs the scheme, so it depends on how much funding they have available to help disabled people get around. You can still lease a car after you turn 65. Still, you won't be eligible for certain benefits from the Motability Scheme anymore, and your vehicle will require mandatory testing every year instead of every three years

Question 6

Can I keep my Motability car for 5 years?

Accepted Answer

You can keep your Motability car for as long as you would like! There are no limits on how many years you can lease a vehicle, so feel free to drive it until the wheels fall off. The only exception is if you choose to upgrade after 60 months of leasing - at that point, you'll have two options: purchase or return the car.

Question 7

Can I change my car on Motability?

Accepted Answer

You can swap your vehicle at any time while leasing it through Motability by paying a penalty fee. This means that once every five years is the best time to switch over because most people keep their cars until they reach 60 months of leasing before upgrading to something new.

Question 8

Can you get an Audi on Motability?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Currently, you can choose from an Audi A1 Sportback, A3 Sportback or Q2.

Question 9

Can I swap my Motability car early?

Accepted Answer

You can swap your Motability car early, but you will have to pay a penalty of £25 for every month left on the contract. The only exception is if you are disabled or receive an inheritance, then there's no fee at all! This means that it's usually best not to trade in until after five years unless you're sure you want to move on to something new.

Question 10

Are Motability cars tracked?

Accepted Answer

All Motability cars are tracked for your safety. If you ever feel unsafe in the car or if it's been broken into, call up customer service, and they will send someone to help fix the problem! You can also use this feature to track how well your mechanic is taking care of your vehicle, so you always know that it's running smoothly.

Question 11

Does Motability work with other insurance companies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Motability works with other insurance companies and even covers any costs if your car is stolen. This means that you don't need to worry about dealing with several different providers - they can all be handled by one company, so you only have to make the initial call!

Question 12

How do I get a Motability grant?

Accepted Answer

You can get a Motability grant by filling out an application online and submitting it to the government. The company will then review your case, approve you for funding, and deposit money into your bank account so that you're free to go shopping! This can be helpful if you've just started leasing through them or are planning on upgrading soon but want to get ahead of the game.

Question 13

How often do prices change?

Accepted Answer

Our price lists are updated every three months so that we can offer our customers the best deals from Audi. We also offer a 'Price Guarantee' meaning the price confirmed at the time of your application is the price you pay even if the price changes before you collect your car.

Question 14

Is everything included in my monthly payments when leasing through Motability?

Accepted Answer

No, your monthly payments will include insurance costs, while your penalty fees cover any damage done by yourself or other drivers during accidents. You'll also have access to free roadside assistance should anything go wrong at all - which is pretty much unheard of these days! All charges are explained in the contract, so make sure you read that carefully!

Question 15

Does Motability offer gap insurance?

Accepted Answer

Motability does not currently provide gap insurance, but several companies do, such as Direct Gap, GAP Insurance Store, and Motopark. You can compare different providers by visiting our site or contacting us directly for more information!

Question 16

What is an advance payment?

Accepted Answer

Some larger or higher specification Audi models require an additional upfront payment. This is known as an 'Advance Payment'. The Advance Payment covers the difference between the cost of your car and your allowance paid over the length of the agreement when your allowance alone would not be enough to cover the cost. It is not a deposit and is therefore not refundable.
