Allowances Explained

How much you pay toward your car depends on the allowance you receive.

DLA

higher rate mobility part of Disability Living Allowance

DLA is traditionally for disabled people between 16 and state pension age. It helps you with any extra costs associated with having a long-term condition or disability, it is not means tested and it's affected by savings or earnings.

The government are replacing DLA with PIP for disabled people over the age of sixteen, even if they have an 'indefinite' or 'lifetime' award. You can only start a new DLA claim for children under 16 years of age.

If you have a letter inviting you for a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) reassessment, you cannot order a vehicle until you’ve had your PIP confirmed.

If your DLA is reassessed and you’re awarded the higher rate mobility part of PIP, you’ll continue to be eligible for the Scheme.

If you’re expecting to be reassessed for PIP, we recommend you wait before you order your next car.

How Do I Pay?

Paying is simple. We receive your payments straight from your allowance provider.

You can exchange all or part of your mobility allowance, but for most of our vehicles you’ll need to use all of it.

You might need to top up with what is called an Advance Payment. If you opt for optional extras on your vehicle, you may need to pay for these too.

Advance Payment is the amount of money you need to pay upfront for some vehicles. It’s in addition to your weekly mobility allowance. It's not a deposit and it’s non-refundable.

If you need to pay one, the amount is fixed when you order your car.

  • We need it because your allowance might not cover the full cost for some larger or more expensive vehicles
  • We calculate it by looking at the cost of the vehicle, its servicing and maintenance, and its expected value at the end of your lease. We negotiate with manufacturers every three months to get you the best price
  • You’ll pay it in one lump sum, directly to your Motability Scheme dealer, either before or on the day you get your vehicle. If you want to pay by cheque, you need to allow seven days for it to clear first
  • If you’re new to the Motability Scheme, you can trade in your old car to help pay your Advance Payment
