Frequently asked questions

Depending on which vehicle you choose, you will exchange all or most of the higher rate mobility part of your weekly disability allowance for the course of your three year lease.

If you are unable to afford the right mobility solution to meet your needs, the Motability Foundation charity may be able to provide financial help. This help includes grants towards Advance Payments for cars, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs), driving lessons and adaptations.

Motability have also introduced a £750 ‘New Vehicle Payment’ for cars and Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles. You can choose to send this directly to the dealership to help towards the Advance Payment, or have this paid to you after you get your vehicle (if you order your vehicle before the end of 2023).

If you were already on the scheme before 1st January 2022, you’ll be eligible whenever you get your next vehicle and if your Advance Payment is more than £750, you’ll need to pay the difference to your dealer, but if it’s less than £750 they’ll send you the difference after you get your vehicle. Please see the Motability website for full terms and conditions.

Our worry-free package includes insurance for up to three drivers, these can be yourself, friends, relatives or carers. All proposed drivers will be subject to the Scheme's policies on who can drive your car and must also meet RSA Motability's (RSAM) eligibility criteria regardless of whether they are added at application or during your lease.

Leases generally run for three years from the date that you took delivery of your car (or five years for new Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles), this date will be shown on your lease agreement. Three months before the end of your lease agreement we will send you a letter to remind you that it is time to choose a new car on the Scheme.

The Department for Work and Pensions will send you a renewal pack to re-assess your claim. If your mobility allowance is extended, your Motability lease agreement will continue as normal.

If you suspect that your car needs mechanical repairs, contact your Motability dealer as soon as possible. Repairs and servicing that are required due to everyday use will be covered at no cost to you (except if there is evidence of neglect or misuse).

A courtesy car may be provided in a number of situations. You can receive a courtesy car if you have booked your car into your dealership for repairs or service, if one is available (this is guaranteed if three weeks advance notice is given). A courtesy car may also be available if your car is being repaired at a RSA Motability recommended repairer as part of an insurance claim.

Sherwoods Motor Group Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Sherwoods Motor Group Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
