Do you receive a mobility allowance? If you do, then you could qualify for the Motability Scheme – the UK’s leading car scheme for disabled people.

The Motability Scheme is available to those receive the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance, the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment, the Armed Forces Independence Payment or the War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement. If you need help for a mental health condition, you may be eligible for the Personal Independence Payment benefit.

To lease a car, payments are deducted from the allowance every four weeks, then paid directly to the Motability Scheme by the relevant benefits agency.

Allen Ford, Essex Ford, and SMC Ford provide affordable, convenient, worry-free motoring to disabled people, their carers & families as part of one of the UK’s largest dealership groups.

Our Specialists have years of experience and will give you the best information to help you pick a car that suits your requirements, assist with filling out the paperwork, and look after you for the three years of the agreement.

Most drivers choose contract hire as they like the convenience of a single, regular payment that includes comprehensive insurance, full breakdown cover, servicing, maintenance, and repairs, plus with the contract hire package they don’t need to drive. They can nominate up to two drivers who may be friends or relatives (plus a third driver can be added during your lease), and parents or carers can apply on behalf of a child aged three years and upwards.

The lease represents great value, especially with some of the deals on offer including £0 advance payment. Models available include the Ford EcoSport SUV and the award-winning Ford Puma Mild Hybrid. If you want a plug-in hybrid or electric car on the Motability Scheme, you could get a FREE home charging station installed with government grant.

Leasing a Motability car gives customers the freedom to make adaptations, which can have a significant effect on their mobility. Popular adaptations include an adjustable steering column, push-pull hand controls, left-foot accelerators, an electric hoist to lift powered wheelchairs and scooters into the car, swivel seats, easy-release handbrakes, pedal extensions, steering wheel balls, and infrared controls.

With Motability, customers get a brand-new car every three years. Allen Ford in Essex, Essex Ford, or SMC Ford in Kent contact them a few months before their lease expires, and if they decide to continue with Motability, they can choose a new car for their next three-year contract (provided they are still eligible).
