How Much Does a Motability Car Cost Per Month?

Motability vehicles are funded through your mobility allowance, meaning your allowance is typically paid directly toward your lease.

However:

• Some vehicles require additional Advance Payments
• Adaptations may be included, subsidised, or chargeable depending on exact type
• Monthly cost varies based on vehicle choice and scheme pricing

Exploring Popular Motability Adaptations

So, what adaptations are available on the scheme? Below are the most requested and widely used adaptations we supply for customers across the UK.

Driving Aids

Adaptations that help you to drive where standard vehicle functions are a challenge. 

Hand Controls transfer the acceleration and brake from the foot pedals to your hand.

Left Foot Accelerators can be fitted to the left of the brake pedal to allow operation with your left foot.

Pedal Modifications can benefit individuals with a range of disabilities that affect their ability to use conventional pedals.

Steering Aids enable the one-handed operation of a vehicle’s steering wheel; these simple adaptations are often used in conjunction with hand controls.

Remote Control Devices allow drivers with limited mobility to steer the car and operate a range of secondary functions, such as the indicators, horn, headlights and wipers.

Remote Voice Control Device supports up to 150 commands with your voice—multilingual, fast, and hands-free.

Panoramic mirrors improve visibility and reduce blind spots.

Protective shields can help drivers who require separation from passengers while maintaining communication.

Vehicle Access

Accessibility adaptations can help both drivers and passengers with reduced mobility to get seated in and out of a vehicle. 

Transfer Plates provide a temporary stable platform on which to pause and pivot either from standing or a mobility device. 

Electric Person Hoists lift you via a fitted sling and hoists you out of your mobility device and into a standard car. 

Swivel Seats enable easy access by turning up to 90 degrees outside the vehicle, lowering, and even transferring from the vehicle entirely onto a wheelchair frame.

Seat Extensions increase seat travel for improved driving position and easier transfers.

Side Steps provide an additional platform to reduce the step height from the ground to the vehicle floor in larger vehicles. 

Seat Buckle Assists reduce twisting and improve access when fastening a seat belt.

Loading & Stowage 

Adaptations to make easy work of loading and storing your mobility device within your vehicle.

Car Boot Hoists will lift your mobility scooter or wheelchair and load it into the boot of your car via lifting points and a button remote control. 

Rooftop Stowage can lift, stow and retrieve a manual wheelchair in less than 90 seconds.

Platform Lift  allows you to simply drive your mobility device onto the platform, step off and use the remote control to safely lift your device into the boot of your car

Factory-Fitted Accessibility Features

Many modern vehicles also include accessibility-focused features such as powered tailgates, powered sliding doors, memory seating systems and integrated voice assistants that can complement the above adaptations.
