Motability Scheme for Drivers in East Anglia
Discover how Motability works and if you're a driver that's eligible for the scheme
The joy of motoring, and the independence that it facilitates, is something that we believe should be available to as many people as possible, including those who may have additional requirements in order for that to be the case. This is why EMG is partnered with the UK government-backed Motability Scheme, designed to offer those on disability allowance the option to get on the road in a brand new car or wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV); we’re proud to offer Motability in East Anglia at our dealerships.
What is the Motability Scheme?
The Motability Scheme exchanges a mobility allowance for a brand new vehicle. In many circumstances, adaptations can be made to the vehicle to make it accessible, which can open up a whole new world for those who couldn’t otherwise get behind the wheel. The Motability Scheme has been used by over 640,000 customers in the UK!
The scheme also offers support to those that need advice or help with choosing their next vehicle. This is something EMG Motability specialists are here to help with - whether you’re looking to exchange your mobility allowance for a new Mazda, Nissan, MG or Kia, our knowledgeable team are on hand to match you with the perfect car.
For ease and convenience, the Motability Scheme takes payments directly from your allowance provider, making the process even more straightforward once it’s all set up.

What are the benefits of the Motability Scheme?
In addition to making your life easier by having access to a car that fits your needs like a glove, there are several elements of car ownership that are included in the Motability package, offering peace of mind and a lot less life admin to do! So what benefits come with a Motability car?
Aids and Adaptations
There are many ways in which the scheme can help make your car your own, adjusting it to your needs and lifestyle in a way you may not have even imagined was possible. Here are some of the ways in which your Motability car may be adapted to suit you:
Driving
Steering aids, hand controls and pedal adaptations can all make your driving experience possible, as well as safe and enjoyable. The technology available has been designed to make freedom easier to achieve, so it’s well worth talking to your Motability advisor about what options are available.
Access
Getting into your car may be a barrier that you’re keen to break down, and this is potentially achievable through transfer plates, hoists, swivel seats and side steps.
Storage
Additional needs may mean additional equipment - this is where storage adaptations come in. Car boot hoists can make getting a wheelchair onboard a lot easier, and rooftop storage is a versatile option for stowing important items.
Breakdown cover
Travelling far and wide comes at the risk of something going wrong with your car, which is where trusted breakdown can really reduce your stress. With every Motability car or WAV comes RAC cover, allowing you to motor on with the knowledge that you’re protected if it comes to it.
Servicing and MOTs
Forget shelling out extra for the annual MOT and service requirements; your Motability package covers regular servicing and routine repairs. This helps you keep your car in tip-top working order, without interruption to your busy life.
Insurance cover
The Motability Scheme arranges your insurance, and they let you add up to 3 named drivers, so you can choose from friends, family and carers to drive on your behalf.
Help with your electric vehicle
There’s no denying that EVs are the future, and if the Motability vehicle you’ve chosen happens to be battery-powered, the Motability Scheme can provide support by covering the price of standard home charge point installation or grant access to the BP pulse network, which includes over 9,000 public charging points.
