What is Motability?

The government-backed Motability Scheme enables motorists with a disability to exchange part or all of their eligible benefit for the lease on a high-quality new vehicle from leading manufacturers such as Volvo. As well as the lease on a new car, the scheme also comes with full insurance cover, breakdown assistance, road tax, and more, meaning there is exceptional value to be found. You can even benefit from selected adaptations to help make the car ideal for you.
