What is Motability?
Motability is a national UK charity. It helps disabled people and their families to achieve greater mobility on the road. Set up by the government in 1977, its aim is to provide vehicles and powered wheelchairs for disabled people.
The first Motability vehicle was supplied in 1978. Since then more than 1.28 million cars and powered wheelchairs have been provided. Now the Motability Scheme has more than 390,000 customers driving, or being driven on the road.
How the Motability Scheme works
Here at Mazda we work closely with Motability across a variety of schemes. Through these, disabled people are offered a range of Mazda vehicles to suit their needs and increase their mobility.
For further information regarding Mazda products available on Motability and prices, contact us.
Mazda Motability offers three different schemes to help disabled people obtain a vehicle. These are:
- A Contract Hire Scheme for new vehicles
- A Hire Purchase Scheme for new vehicles.
- A Hire Purchase Scheme for used vehicles.
Once a customer has chosen which scheme they wish to join, they then agree to assign all or part of their mobility allowance (DLA or WPMS). This depends on their choice of vehicle and lasts for the duration of their contract hire or hire purchase agreement period.
