Motability FAQ

You can contact us online if you have a particular question about the scheme or our services. Below are some of the most common questions about the Motability scheme.

Am I eligible for the Motability scheme?

To be eligible to join the Motability Scheme, you need to receive a mobility allowance and you must have at least 12 months award length remaining. When you sign for the scheme, your Motability allowance is deducted and paid to Motability Operations Ltd directly by the DWP (Department of Work and Pensions). As partners to the Motability Scheme, Chorley Group will arrange, advise and assist in finding your new leasing agreement with Motability.

Can I apply for Motability on behalf of someone else?

Yes, the Motability Allowance holder does not need to be the driver of the vehicle. Children or non-drivers are also entitled to the scheme, up to two named drivers are included as part of your lease; these can be yourself, friends, family or carers. You can also add a third driver for an additional cost.

How many named drivers can I nominate?

Named drivers are people you choose to drive your Motability Scheme vehicle. Up to three named drivers are included as part of your lease; these can be yourself, friends, family or carers. Two named drivers can be nominated when you place your application, and a third driver can be added during your lease.

What is included in the Motability scheme?

Our standard lease lasts three years, or five years if you are leasing a WAV. We take care of all the below running costs, so all you need to do is add fuel and go:

  • Insurance (for up to three named drivers for cars and WAVs)
  • Servicing, maintenance and repairs due to general wear
  • Breakdown cover
  • Tyre repair and replacement
  • Windscreen repairs

Can I adapt a vehicle to stow a wheelchair?

Yes, there are several adaptions and modifications available that can be fitted to your new car, typically falling into three categories: to help you drive, to help you stow your wheelchair or scooter and to help you get in and out of your car. Many of these modifications are free of charge and can be organised with us at the same time as ordering your new car. Motability adaptions are designed to overcome the handicap many Motability users face and make their driving or travelling experience easier and more comfortable.

Are your showrooms accessible for wheelchairs?

All our retailers are built to be Motability friendly, with designated accessible parking spaces, wheelchair-friendly showrooms, restrooms and on-site staff to assist at all times.

How can we help you find your Motability car?

Our fully trained specialists can confirm your eligibility for the Motability Scheme when you visit. You can also check your eligibility for the scheme here. Our team will support you in choosing the right car to suit your lifestyle requirements. They will also arrange a suitable collection time and ensure you are comfortable with every feature before you leave the showroom. During your lease, the service department will book and arrange routine services, any repairs you may need and your MOT. This is all included as part of your Motability Scheme lease package.
