TBC Conversions work in close partnership with the Motability Scheme as recognised Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) converters. The Motability Scheme provides a simple way to lease a new Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) among other vehicle options.
What is the Motability Scheme?
The Motability Scheme is a national charity that has been supporting people with disabilities since 1978. It provides people with disabilities a greater independence, through access to affordable, worry-free mobility in an all-inclusive package. They look after everything from your insurance, servicing, maintenance to breakdown cover.
Am I Eligible?
If you benefit by receiving one of the below mobility allowances, you can join the Scheme and exchange your allowance to lease a mobility car such as a WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle).
Mobility allowances:
- Enhanced rate mobility part of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Higher rate mobility part of Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Enhanced rate mobility part of Adult Disability Payment (Scotland)
- Higher rate mobility component of Child Disability Payment (Scotland)
- War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
- Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
You must have at least 12 months left on any of the above allowances if you are applying to join the Scheme. To check how long you have left on your allowance you can check your award letter or contact your allowance provider.
There are some allowances that are not accepted. They can be found here on the Motability Scheme website.
What is included in the Motability Scheme?
Included in the all-inclusive package is:
Insurance cover – The Motability Scheme will arrange your insurance. Note that you can add up to three drivers to the policy. These can be changed at any time throughout the lease.
Servicing and MOT – Regular services and routine repairs are included within the package, allowing you to keep your vehicle on the road in the best condition.
Breakdown cover – Breakdown cover is also covered in the package so you can travel with peace of mind.
