Motability leasing options

The Motability Scheme offers two leasing options: Contract Hire and Hire Purchase.

Contract Hire is an agreement of three years that enables you to rent a new Motability vehicle. The lease includes tax, insurance, aftersales services and breakdown cover. The agreement has a mileage limit of 60,000 miles over the three-year period. In order to be eligible for the Contract Hire option, you will need to have a minimum of 12 months’ award length remaining on your allowance.

Hire Purchase allows you to buy your own car. This means you can make modifications and exceed the 60,000 mile limit. The lease runs for between two and five years. To be eligible, you must be receiving your mobility allowance for the full length of the agreement. Motorists selecting Hire Purchase will be responsible for arranging and financing insurance, tax, aftersales care and breakdown cover.
