About Motability Car Prices

Motability pricing doesn't work quite like buying a new car typically does, which is down to two aspects: Motability works in the way of a lease deal, and also payments are made via mobility allowances.

Pricing for Motability cars changes every three months as the year goes on, with the Motability Scheme renegotiating their prices with car manufacturers each quarter.

You'll see two different types of pricing on Stoneacre.co.uk which relate to different types of mobility allowance - Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and War Pensioner allowance (WP).

Motability offer three pricing options for their cars:

• cars that cost less than a mobility allowance
• cars that cost all of a mobility allowance
• cars that cost more than a mobility allowance

Cars that cost more than your allowances, they will be listed with an Advance Payment - this is a cash payment that must me made when you order the car. An Advance Payment is non-refundable and makes up the difference between the cost of the car and your allowances.

Alternatively, some cars will cost less than or all of your allowances. For these vehicles you won't need to make an Advance Payment to order the car and you may still receive part of your allowance if the weekly car rental is less than the money you receive.

It's good to remember, a three-year Motability lease includes all of the following: road tax; servicing and maintenance; insurance; RAC roadside assistance; tyre replacement; and full windscreen cover.
