Skoda Motability

It's easy with Motability! You choose the car, we do the rest.

Motability is a national charity, set up on the initiative of the Government in 1977, to assist disabled people with their mobility needs. They direct and oversee the Motability Scheme which, enables disabled people to obtain a car, powered wheelchair or scooter simply by using their government-funded mobility allowances.

Motability is the leading car scheme for disabled people. They supply cars to over 460,000 motorists by exchanging their mobility allowance for a car.

If you receive the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance or the War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement, getting a new car is easier and more affordable than ever. Through Motability, you simply turn part or all of your allowance into the car of your choice. Many models come with £Nil advance payment.

No waiting lists. No credit checks. No assessments required.

There are a number of adaptions to help improve your driving experience:

Driving adaptions, including pedal modifications and electric controls.
Stowage adaptions, which include rooftop stowage and car boot hoists.
