To join the Motability Car Scheme and start enjoying all of the benefits, you must be receiving either of the following allowances/supplements:
• Higher Rate Mobility Component (HRMC) of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) - currently £46.75 per week
or
• War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement (WPMS) - currently £52.25 per week.
Plus...
with the Contract Hire package you don't need to drive. You can nominate up to two drivers who may be friends or relatives, and parents or careers can apply on behalf of a child aged three years and upwards.
Please note: If you choose the 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, it is normally expected that you will be receiving the allowance for the full length of the agreement.
Proposed drivers must not have any serious driving convictions, disqualifications, or endorsements within the last five years. There are also some restrictions on drivers under 25 and those with provisional licences.
