Motability

At Sturgess Hyundai in Leicester we are dedicated to supporting the Motability Scheme in Leicestershire. This government-funded scheme is to help people with a disability become more mobile and gain independence by exchanging their mobility allowance for a brand new and specially adapted Hyundai car.

Our experienced Motability specialists on site will assist you in finding your perfect Hyundai Motability car and to offer information on the various 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 some or all of your allowance for the Hyundai car of your choice. If you are unable to drive, you can nominate drivers to drive on your behalf and parents or carers of a disabled child can apply on their behalf.

Hire Options

There are two hire options available under the Motability Scheme. Under the Contract Hire agreement, you can have a new car on a lease of three years. Included in the agreement are servicing & maintenance costs, tax, insurance and breakdown cover. You can also have specific adaptations made to your Nissan Motability car with no extra charge.

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

Adaptations

To make your Motability car as easy to drive as possible, you can have tailored adaptations made to it. There is a range of adaptations available, the most popular are:

•    Push/Pull Hand Control - allows you to control your speed manually
•    Easy Release Handbrake - makes applying and releasing the handbrake easy if you have limited arm movement
•    Swivel Seat - makes getting in and out of your car easier
•    Steering Wheel Ball - gives you greater control over steering
