If you are looking for a mobility vehicle which has been adapted to carry a wheelchair passenger and you are looking for an alternative to the Motability scheme, perhaps you want a different scheme, a less expensive one – we may be able to help.
At WavsGB we sell (and hire) a range of mobility cars which have been adapted to carry a wheelchair passenger.
By buying a used mobility car from our range of high quality vehicles we can offer you a number of flexible ways to fund the vehicle – including using your Motability allowance towards a finance or rental agreement.
If you qualify for the Personal Independence Payment, then you can use this payment towards a mobility car – amongst other things.
The Personal Independence Payment is a UK welfare payment intended to help those with a disability or long-term illness to meet the additional costs of living. To be eligible for this payment – the claimant must have challenges with day-to-day living or difficulty getting around (or both) for at least three months and for the situation to continue for a period, of at least nine months.
Many use their PIP payment towards a mobility car, and often this is via the Motability scheme to buy a new car. However, you don’t have to use it this way and depending on the type of vehicle you need, or your personal circumstances, that isn’t always the best use. You have the choice on how to use your Personal Independence Allowance and you can put towards the finance or rental of a mobility vehicle which has been adapted to carry a wheelchair passenger.
Whether you buy or rent from WavsGB – you are ultimately in control of the vehicle. When you buy with a one-off payment the vehicle is yours immediately or with a finance agreement at the end of the term the vehicle is yours – you don’t have to swap the vehicle, make a final payment* or hand it back.
Many people find our mobility hire service offers the flexibility and peace of mind without the up-front expense of buying. Mobility cars are available to hire on a short term or a longer term
plan – and the longer you hire for, the cheaper the daily rate becomes.
One of the main benefits of mobility car hire from WavsGB is the fact that there is no commitment – you can hand the vehicle back, at any point, if you no longer require it without any hassle or further obligation.
Alternatively, if your circumstances change you easily can swap your hire vehicle for a smaller or even larger vehicle – and if a different cost applies we’ll simply change your payment to reflect this without any hassle.
Ultimately whether you decide to go directly to Motability for a new car or use your Motability payments to put towards a used mobility car or hire one – the choice is down to you.
Take a look at your finances and decide which way works best for you – any of the schemes may be perfect for you, but it’s important to look at each to find the one that best suits your requirements and your circumstances.
