Not eligible for Motability?
You can still access a wheelchair accessible vehicle.
If you need a WAV but the Motability Scheme isn’t available to you, buying a vehicle outright isn’t your only option. With ORA, you can hire a wheelchair accessible vehicle for 3 months or longer, with delivery, insurance and breakdown cover included. We’ll help you understand your options and find a vehicle that suits your needs.
Understanding eligibility
Why might Motability not be available?
There are different reasons someone may not be able to access the Motability Scheme. Whatever the reason, you can still explore other ways to access a WAV.
Common reasons people can’t use the Scheme
Having a disability or needing a wheelchair accessible vehicle does not automatically mean you can access the Scheme — but it doesn’t leave you without options.
Mobility needs changed later in life
Some people develop a disability or significant mobility needs later in life and may not receive a qualifying mobility allowance.
No qualifying mobility allowance
Motability eligibility is linked to specific mobility benefits, so needing a WAV doesn’t automatically qualify you.
Circumstances don’t meet the requirements
There may be other reasons Motability isn’t currently available — you can still explore alternatives.
