Motability

At Sturgess Alfa Romeo of Leicester, we are committed to supporting the Motability Scheme. This government-funded operation is designed to help those with a disability to gain independence through increased mobility.

Our Alfa Romeo Motability specialists can assist you in finding your perfect Alfa Romeo Motability car and to offer information on the finance options available.

Am I Eligible?

If you receive the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance or the War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement, you are eligible to exchange part or all of your allowance for the Alfa Romeo car of your choice. If you can't drive, you can nominate up to two drivers to drive on your behalf.

Hire Options

There are two hire options available under the Motability Scheme; Contract Hire and Hire Purchase.

Under the Contract Hire agreement, you can get a new car on a lease of three years. Servicing & maintenance costs, tax, insurance and breakdown cover are all included as part of the agreement and you can have adaptations made to your Motability vehicle at no extra cost.

Under the Hire Purchase agreement, you can buy your own car on a contract lasting between two and five years. Under this agreement, you are responsible for arranging your own maintenance, insurance, tax and breakdown cover.

Adaptations

In order to make your Alfa Romeo Motability car more comfortable and easier to drive, you can have tailored adaptations made to it. There is a range of different adaptations available. The most popular are:

•    Push/Pull Hand Control - enables you to control speed manually if you have difficulty with foot pedals
•    Easy Release Handbrake - makes applying and releasing the handbrake easier if you have limited movement in your arms
•    Swivel Seat - makes getting in and out of your car easier if you have limited flexibility
•    Steering Wheel Ball - gives you greater control over steering if you only have the use of one hand or find it difficult to hold a steering wheel
