What is Motability?

Motorists with a disability have the opportunity to retain their independence through leasing a brand-new Fiat via the government-backed Motability Scheme.

This initiative exchanges eligible mobility allowances for a three-year lease on a quality vehicle, complete with full road tax, motor insurance, breakdown cover and more.

There’s even the option of having selected adaptations made to the model for easier motoring and accessibility, all for no additional charge.
