Adapt your Motability Scheme vehicle

The Motability Scheme offers around 500 vehicle adaptations to help make driving or travelling easier. Many of these can be fitted at no extra cost at the start of your lease and we can help you find the right adaptation for your mobility needs.

The future is electric

Many drivers are making the switch to electric, and the Motability Scheme makes it accessible to everyone. When you lease your first pure battery electric vehicle a home charge point can be installed at no extra cost.

Don't have access to off-road parking? Gain access to a network of over 8,000 nationwide charging points with the BP Pulse Polar Network or install a chargepoint at an approved drivers address.

Please note, you must contact and get approval from Motability Scheme for chargepoint installation at an approved drivers address.

New Vehicle Payment

The New Vehicle Payment from the Motability Scheme could mean you receive £750. This payment is particularly helpful in times of higher living costs and energy bills. It can assist you in maximising the benefits of your Motability Scheme car.

The £750 payment can be applied towards some or all of the Advance Payment of a new vehicle. The New Vehicle Payment enables greater flexibility when choosing your Motability Scheme car.

To be eligible for the New Vehicle Payment, you must be a New-to-Scheme customer who has placed an order or received a new vehicle before the end of 2023. Existing customers are also eligible, provided they have an active agreement as of December 31st, 2021.

Good Condition Bonus

When you return your vehicle at the end of your lease, you could be eligible for an up to £350 Good Condition Bonus, if it is still in good condition.

When you return your Motability Scheme vehicle it is sold through a network of dealers or at an auction house. Returning your car in good condition helps Motability Scheme to achieve the best prices, keeping costs low for all customers.

The amount you receive depends on the length of your lease, it's currently £250 for a three-year lease and £350 for a five-year lease. Motability Scheme will automatically send you the bonus if you are eligible. The fastest way to receive the New Vehicle Payment and Good Condition Bonus is by bank transfer via the Motability Scheme Online Account.
