At Harwoods, we believe everyone should have access to reliable transport, which is why we are proud supporters of the Motability Scheme. In this guide, we’re breaking down everything you need to know to get behind the wheel of a brand-new Volvo with confidence.
What is the Motability Scheme?
The Motability scheme is a registered charity that helps you trade your government-funded mobility allowance for a brand-new car. It’s designed to help customers maintain their independence, and take the stress out of motoring by bundling almost all costs into one simple package. To be eligible for the Motability Scheme, you need to receive one of the following:
PIP: Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment
DLA: Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance
AFIP: Armed Forces Independence Payment
WPMS: War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement
Alongside these mobility allowance criteria, you must have at least 12 months of benefit payments remaining to join the scheme. If you meet these requirements, you can select from a range of Motability cars from approved retailers like Harwoods.
Why Choose the Motability Scheme from Harwoods?
The beauty of this scheme is that it isn’t just about the car, it’s about the peace of mind that comes with it. The Motability Scheme offers a comprehensive package, including the vehicle cost, insurance, servicing, maintenance, and breakdown assistance. This means you can enjoy stress-free motoring without worrying about unforeseen expenses. Your lease includes:
Full insurance
Servicing & maintenance
Full breakdown assistance
Tyre and windscreen replacement
