Countdown to your next
Motability car
Firstly we’d like to thank you for choosing the Motability Scheme and we hope you’ve enjoyed your current car.
Now’s the time to start thinking about your next one! This brochure guides you through what you need to do next as
well as giving you tips on choosing your new car.

As you’ve already leased a car through the Motability Scheme, you’ll be aware of the many benefits of our worry-free
leasing package. Remember everything, except fuel, is included. You don’t have to worry about unexpected bills for
repairs and servicing, nor the extra costs of insurance, tyre and windscreen replacement or breakdown assistance.

                     • Consider  adaptations which may make your
                       travelling experience safer or more comfortable
       if your condition has changed – see more on page 11.

     • Find a dealer at motability.co.uk and visit as many as you need to.

     • Take a test drive to make sure the car you’re interested in is suitable for your needs.

     • the
       Make sure your name and address details are up to date with both the DVLA and
           Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) or Veterans UK. Your driving licence details
       and Certificate of Entitlement must match or there could be a delay to your application.

     • Place your order with your dealer and tell them about anyone you wish to drive the car,
       including yourself.

     • When   ordering your new car take these with you:
       • Your driving licence if you wish to drive
       • Certificate of entitlement from either the DWP or Veterans UK (you must have at least 12
         months remaining on your award)
       • Proof of address (e.g. recent utility bill)
       • Nominated drivers’ driving licence and consent (see following bullet).

     • Nominated    drivers must give consent, either in person by going with you when you place
       your order or by filling out the Driver Consent Form included with this guide.

     • As part of the ordering process, you and your drivers will need to sign a Statement of
       Responsibilities. This document simply confirms that you understand and agree to abide
       by the Scheme rules around car usage.

     • Tell your dealer if you have a personalised number plate and wish to transfer it onto your
       new car.

• Your dealer will contact you to book
  an MOT test for your current car (excluding
  customers in Northern Ireland and Isle of Man).
  This test checks the important safety features on
  your car. But don’t worry, most cars sail through
  without any problems. Once completed, make
  sure you keep the certificate in your glovebox.

• Look out for your new PIN. We’ll send this to
  you along with all the information about your
  new lease and the Terms and Conditions. Your
  secure PIN enables you to ‘sign’ all the paperwork
  via the dealer’s computer. Remember to take it
  with you when you pick up your new car.

         •  You don’t have to remove
   adaptations, but if you want to, please
   arrange this with your local adaptation
   installer.

 • delivery
   Keep in touch with your dealer about the
            date.

 • Don’t worry if there’s a delay. The dealer
   supplying your new car will arrange
   for you to stay in your current car until the new one is ready. However, if you are in
   a Low Mileage or Long Term Lease Extension and there is a delay, please call
   0300 456 4566 to arrange this.

• When   collecting your new car, don’t forget to bring: Your driving licence plus the
  letter we sent you which includes your PIN.

• Return your current car to the dealer supplying your new car.
• Hand back any documentation and equipment from your current car, such as the
  manufacturer handbook and spare keys.

• The dealer will take a brief condition description of the car. Provided the car is in
  good condition you could receive a £250 bonus a few weeks later.

• Check  that you and/or your nominated drivers are on your new insurance
  cover note.

• Make  sure the dealer has your correct contact details so they can contact you
  during your lease with important information such as service reminders.

• Before  you enter your PIN, ask your dealer to give you a tour of the car. If you
  don’t recognise any features please discuss these with your dealer before you leave.

    Then drive away in your new car!

Value for money
With comparable running costs for private cars growing, the Motability Scheme makes great financial sense. In the table
below we’ve worked out an example to demonstrate how much you could save.

     Cars highlighted in yellow are offered at a fixed weekly amount over the course of the three year lease. All other cars shown are offered on a ‘Total allowance’ basis, where the entire weekly mobility
     allowance, including any increase, is taken. Prices shown are valid for both recipients of the HRMC of the DLA and ERMC of PIP making an application between 01/07/2015 and 30/09/2015, but may
     be subject to change. *This is the amount of your higher rate mobility allowance which will continue to be paid to you by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This amount is based on the
     current weekly allowance rate of £57.45 and will increase when the DWP makes its annual allowance increases (usually in April).

Your next car A guide to leasing - July - September 2015
Your named drivers
When you’re thinking about choosing your next car and who you’d like to drive, remember
two named drivers are included as part of your lease; these can be yourself, friends, family or
carers. You can also add a third driver for an additional cost by calling RSA Motability (RSAM)
on 0300 037 3737.

  Here’s a reminder of a few rules surrounding who can drive your car:

  • Named    drivers should live within five miles
    of the disabled customer’s address. We will,
      however, consider requests to include drivers
      outside of this range where this is essential to
      support the customer’s mobility needs

  • Drivers under 25 are restricted to cars with an
    ABI Insurance Group 16 or lower and with a
      power output of 115 brake horsepower (BHP)
      or less (this does not apply to Wheelchair
      Accessible Vehicles). It is therefore important to
      consider whether you will require a driver aged
      under 25 during your lease before you choose
      your car. For more information speak to your car
      dealer or visit the Car Search at motability.co.uk

  • Only one named driver under 21 is permitted – this could be the disabled customer, or another
    driver living at the same address

  • Proposed   drivers with certain convictions, disqualifications or endorsements within the last five
    years will not be allowed. Speak to your dealer or RSAM for more information

  • We  will only accept drivers who have a legally valid driving licence. Drivers with a non-UK driving
    licence will be subject to additional checks.

We are committed to keeping our disabled customers mobile, so we may consider requests to include drivers who do not
fully meet these guidelines where this is essential to support your mobility needs. In these cases, and in certain others, we
may talk to you about fitting a location tracker to your car. For more information go to motability.co.uk.
Need more help than a
standard car provides?
If your needs have changed and a standard car is no longer the best
option for you, we also offer these other products and services to help
you stay mobile and independent.

Adaptations that make driving easier
Simple adaptations can make a big difference to your motoring
experience. Typically, adaptations fall into three categories: they can
help you drive, stow your wheelchair or scooter, or get in and out of the
car. You can find out more, see some of the most popular adaptations
in action and download our useful brochure ‘Your guide to adaptations’
at motability.co.uk.

Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs)
If you find transferring from your wheelchair into a standard car and
storing your wheelchair difficult, then you could benefit from a WAV.
For more information please download our brochure ‘Your guide to
Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles’ from motability.co.uk.

Scooters and powered wheelchairs
If you no longer want to lease a car, you can use your allowance to lease a worry-free scooter or powered
wheelchair through the Motability Scheme. There are over 300 products to choose from and nearly all of them cost
less than your weekly allowance. You can download ‘Your guide to getting a Motability scooter or powered wheelchair’
at motability.co.uk.
