This comprehensive guide will delve into the specifics of the Motability Scheme as offered by Perrys, highlighting its incredible benefits, outlining the eligibility criteria, and explaining how our expert team is perfectly positioned to support you every step of the way. From choosing your ideal Vauxhall to understanding what's included in your lease, we aim to provide all the information you need to make an informed decision and drive away with confidence.

Understanding the Motability Scheme

At its core, the Motability Scheme is a government-backed initiative designed to help disabled people lease a new car, scooter, or powered wheelchair in exchange for their mobility allowance. It's a fantastic way to regain or maintain independence, offering a simple, affordable, and worry-free way to access personal transport. The scheme has been running for decades and has helped millions of individuals and families across the UK. It removes many of the traditional barriers associated with car ownership, such as the large upfront cost, ongoing maintenance worries, and insurance complexities.

When you join the Motability Scheme, you effectively trade a portion or all of your eligible mobility allowance for a brand-new car on a three-year lease. This arrangement is meticulously designed to be as convenient as possible, ensuring that your primary focus remains on enjoying your new vehicle and the freedom it provides, rather than the logistics of its upkeep.

Why Choose Perrys for Your Motability Vehicle?

Perrys has established itself as a trusted name in the automotive industry, and our commitment to customer satisfaction extends wholeheartedly to our Motability customers. We pride ourselves on offering not just a vehicle, but a complete, supportive experience tailored to your unique requirements. Our team understands the nuances of the scheme and is dedicated to providing clear, honest, and helpful advice.

The Perrys All-Inclusive Package: Truly Worry-Free Motoring

One of the most compelling reasons to choose the Motability Scheme at Perrys is the truly all-inclusive nature of the lease. This means that a significant portion of the typical motoring expenses are covered within your weekly allowance payment, leaving you with far fewer financial surprises. It's designed so you can simply 'fuel and go'. Here's a detailed look at what's included:

• Comprehensive Insurance: Your lease includes insurance cover for up to two named drivers, which can be you, family members, or carers. This is comprehensive cover, meaning it protects against damage to your car, damage to other vehicles, and personal injury. There's no excess to pay in the event of a claim, and adaptations fitted to your car are also covered.
• Servicing and Maintenance: All routine servicing, maintenance, and repairs caused by general wear and tear are included. This means you won't have to worry about unexpected garage bills. Perrys will arrange for your car to be serviced at approved dealerships, ensuring it remains in top condition throughout your lease. This also includes your annual MOT test if applicable within the three-year lease period.
• RAC Breakdown Assistance: Enjoy peace of mind with 24/7 RAC breakdown assistance, which covers roadside assistance, home start, and recovery services. Should you ever break down, help is just a phone call away, ensuring you're never left stranded.
• Tyre Replacement and Repair: Punctures or worn tyres? No problem. The scheme covers the cost of tyre replacement and repair through Kwik Fit, ensuring your vehicle's safety and performance are always maintained.
• Windscreen Repair/Replacement: Should your windscreen suffer a chip or crack, the cost of repair or replacement is also covered, saving you from an unexpected expense.
• Annual Road Tax: The annual road tax is paid for you for the entire duration of your lease, removing another administrative and financial burden.
• Adaptations: Many common adaptations (such as steering aids or hand controls) are available at no extra cost. For more complex adaptations, a contribution may be required. Our specialists at Perrys can guide you through the options and help arrange fitting.

As you can see, the 'just fuel and go' promise is very real. The only major ongoing cost not covered is the fuel you use.

The Vauxhall Advantage at Perrys

Perrys offers a fantastic range of brand-new Vauxhall vehicles through the Motability Scheme. Vauxhall cars are renowned for their reliability, comfort, and increasingly, their advanced technology and efficiency. With a diverse line-up, there's a Vauxhall to suit almost every need and lifestyle, from compact city cars to spacious SUVs and family-friendly models. Our Motability specialists can help you explore models like the Corsa, Astra, Mokka, and Crossland, discussing boot space, seating comfort, ease of access, and any specific features that might enhance your driving experience. The variety ensures that whether you need something nimble for urban driving or a larger vehicle for family outings, a suitable Vauxhall is likely available.

Are You Eligible for the Motability Scheme?

To be eligible for the Motability Scheme, you must be receiving one of the following allowances with at least 12 months remaining on your award:

• Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (HRMC DLA)
• Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (ERMC PIP)
• Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)

It's important to note that the Attendance Allowance and the care component of DLA or PIP do not qualify for the scheme. If you're unsure about your eligibility, our team at Perrys can help you verify your status and guide you through the initial checks.

Understanding Your Lease: What's Included and What's Not?

While the Motability Scheme is incredibly comprehensive, it's important to understand the full scope of what's covered and what responsibilities remain with you. This table provides a clear overview:

It's worth noting that most Motability leases come with an annual mileage allowance of 60,000 miles over the three-year term (20,000 miles per year). This is usually more than sufficient for the vast majority of users. If you anticipate exceeding this, discuss it with your Perrys specialist, as options may be available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Motability at Perrys

To further clarify any queries you might have, here are some common questions we receive about the Motability Scheme:

Can I get a car if I don't drive?

Absolutely! The Motability Scheme is designed to provide transport solutions even if you don't hold a driving licence. You can nominate up to two drivers (family members, friends, or carers) to drive the car on your behalf. In some cases, a third driver can be added for an additional cost.

Can someone else drive the car for me?

Yes, as mentioned above, your lease includes insurance for two named drivers. These individuals do not need to live at the same address as you, but they should have a legitimate reason for driving the car on your behalf, such as being your carer or family member. All named drivers must meet the Motability Scheme's eligibility criteria for drivers.

What about adaptations for the car?

Many common adaptations, from simple steering aids to more complex hand controls, are available at no extra cost through the Motability Scheme. Perrys specialists are well-versed in the range of adaptations available for Vauxhall models and can help arrange for them to be fitted before you collect your new car. For more specialised or costly adaptations, an Advance Payment might be required.

What happens at the end of the lease?

At the end of your three-year lease, you have a few options. You can simply return the car to Perrys, or you can choose to lease another brand-new car through the Motability Scheme. Our team will contact you well in advance of your lease ending to discuss your options and help you transition smoothly to your next vehicle, if that's what you choose to do.

Are there mileage limits on Motability cars?

Yes, the standard mileage allowance is 60,000 miles over the three-year lease period. This equates to 20,000 miles per year. If you exceed this limit, an excess mileage charge will apply, which is typically 5p per mile. If you anticipate needing a higher mileage allowance, please discuss this with our Perrys specialist at the time of application.

What if my allowance stops during the lease?

If your mobility allowance stops during your lease agreement, you will unfortunately no longer be eligible for the Motability Scheme. In such cases, you will need to return the car, and an early termination charge may apply. It's important to keep Motability updated on any changes to your allowance.

Can I choose any Vauxhall model?

While Perrys offers a wide selection of brand-new Vauxhall models, the availability of specific models will depend on your eligible allowance and any Advance Payment you might choose to make. Our specialists will help you explore the entire range available to you within your budget and needs.
