Motability leases are all contract hire arrangements. It's the most common form of vehicle leasing agreement. Fixed amounts are paid for the duration of the contract and, at the end, you return the car. Most people repeat the process and get another car on the scheme.
How do I arrange the monthly payments?
At Hendy, we help you arrange for your benefits to be paid directly by the Department for Work and Pensions. Unless you opt for a car lower in value than your mobility allowance, you won't see the money. Motability are responsible for allocating the money as necessary to cover everything that's included.
Whats an Advanced Payment?
Some high spec cars will need an upfront payment. We call it an advance payment. It's not a deposit and isn't refunded at the end of your lease.
Can I return my Motability car early?
You would have to call us to discuss. If you cancel any Motability agreement more than 3 times in any 7-year period, it could affect your eligibility.
Cancelling your lease also means you can't get a Good Condition Bonus. This is the scheme's way of saying thank you for returning cars with no damage.
What's the milage allowance on a Motability car?
With Motability cars, you get a mileage allowance of 60,000 miles over 3 years. If you go over, the extra miles will be charged at 5p a mile.
If you've driven fewer than 15,000 miles at the end of your agreement, you could apply to keep your car for 1 or 2 more years and get a 20,000 mileage allowance each year.
Can I use the car for work?
A Motability vehicle is covered under the Certificate of Motor Insurance for social, domestic and pleasure purposes, this includes travelling between your home and work.
What happens at the end of the lease?
You have 3 options:
• Choose your new Motability car for the next 3 years
• Keep your car longer if you're eligible for a low mileage lease extension
• Return the car and start getting your mobility allowance again
Are Electric Vehicles available on the Scheme?
Yes. We have a range of Electric Vehicles available. A few things to consider, when looking to lease an Electric Car:
- The range, differs on every Electric Vehicle, make sure to choose a car that is suitable for your typical journeys. A Motability specialist at Hendy will be able to help you with this!
- You will need to have access to a charge point, so you can charge your vehicle.
