Navigating the world of accessible vehicle leasing can seem daunting, but at Breeze Motor Group, we strive to make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. As an accredited dealer for the Motability scheme, we are dedicated to helping individuals and families find the perfect vehicle to suit their needs. Whether you're looking for a brand-new Volkswagen, a stylish Suzuki, or a practical Volkswagen van, our Motability specialists are here to guide you through every step, ensuring you get the most out of your Motability lease.
What is the Motability Scheme?
The Motability scheme is a national charity that provides an affordable, risk-free way for people with disabilities to lease a new car, powered wheelchair, or scooter. It allows eligible individuals to exchange their government-funded mobility allowance for a brand-new vehicle, with all the associated costs of motoring, such as insurance, servicing, maintenance, and repairs, covered. This means you can enjoy worry-free motoring without the burden of unexpected expenses. At Breeze Motor Group, we are proud to be a part of this invaluable scheme, offering a wide selection of vehicles from renowned brands like Volkswagen and Suzuki.
Who is Eligible for the Motability Scheme?
Eligibility for the Motability scheme is based on receiving a qualifying mobility allowance. If you or your child receive one of the following allowances and have at least 12 months remaining on the award, you are likely eligible to lease a car through Motability:
- Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- War Pensioners Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
- Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
It's always best to check your specific eligibility directly with Motability. You can do this easily by visiting their official website at https://www.motability.co.uk/about/check-your-eligibility/. This will give you the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding your eligibility.

We understand that your vehicle is more than just a mode of transport; it's a vital part of your independence and daily life. That's why our Motability packages are comprehensive and tailored to meet your needs:
Comprehensive Insurance
Your Motability lease includes insurance for you and up to two additional named drivers. This means your loved ones can also benefit from using the vehicle, extending its usability and convenience for your family. We ensure that the insurance provided meets high standards, giving you confidence on the road.

Breakdowns can be stressful, but with a Breeze Motability lease, you're covered. We provide full breakdown assistance, ensuring that if your vehicle experiences any issues, you'll receive prompt and reliable support to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

One of the most significant advantages of the Motability scheme, and something we excel at at Breeze, is that all servicing, maintenance, and repairs are included in your lease agreement.
