Frequently Asked Questions

The Motability service was introduced as a government funded project to assist drivers with disabilities on to the road by providing financed lease cars which include: insurance, road tax, breakdown cover, maintenance, tyres, servicing and windscreen replacement along with many adaptations that are required by the driver. Naturally every individual’s requirements are different but this guide below will help you with the important questions.For a more detailed introduction to Motability, we advise our customers to read “Your Guide to Motability” which is found in the reference section below.

If you receive one of the following:

• • Higher Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (HRMC of PIP)
  • Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (ERMC of PIP)
  • The War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
  • The Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)

As long as you have 1 year remaining on your award, you can get a car on Motability.

Please Note: You are also able to lease a Peugeot through Motability if:

• • You are a parent (or guardian) of a child aged 3 or over who receives the allowance
  • You are unable to drive (for this, you are able to nominate two other people to drive on your behalf)

• A new Peugeot every three years (or five years for WAV customers)
• Insurance (from RSA Motability)
• Annual Road Fund Licence (Road Tax)
