Q. Are there many forms to
complete?
A. There is no paperwork at
all – no forms to fill in and no assessments or credit checks to go
through. Everything will be done by one of our trained
Motability Specialists.
Q. Will anyone want to check my
physical condition?
A. No. There are no
assessments of any kind. Provided you have at least 12 months
left to run on the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability
Living Allowance, you are eligible.
Q. Do I have to be a
driver?
A. No. You do not have
to drive to take out a car on the scheme. You are able to
nominate up to two drivers.
Q. What if I need my car
adapted?
A. We have a wide range of
car adaptations available, many at no extra cost. If you
require more information, please contact us and ask for ‘Make it
Yours’ - a free guide to adaptations.
Q. I have a good no claims
history. Can I carry this forward if I leave the Car Scheme
in the future?
A. The Scheme insurers, Royal
& SunAlliance Motability are able to provide confirmation of
the claims history on the policy.
Q. Do you understand what I need from
a car?
A. Northern Motors
partnership with Motability involves special training to make sure
we understand the needs of people with a disability. Many
people comment on how friendly and helpful we are and often return
to us again and again to order their Motability car.
Q. What if my circumstances change
over the next three years?
A. Depending on the
circumstances, Motability look at each case individually and do
their best to accommodate your new requirements.
Q. I have chosen the car I want, what
should I do next?
A. Once you have chosen the
car, simply place your order with us. Please remember to
bring along the following documentation:
- The driving licence of any planned drivers
- Your letter of award entitlement
- Proof of your address (such as a recent utility bill)
