Motability Accredited Mobility Scooter Dealer
Scootamatic are proud to be an accredited Motability Dealer.
The Motability government scheme is designed to help disabled
people to purchase mobility products with grants and flexible
finance.
If you receive the High Rate Mobility Component of the
Disability Living Allowance (HRMCDLA) or the War Pensioners
Mobility Supplement (WPMS) , Scootamatic, in association
with Motability, can help you get the new mobility scooter
of your choice for a lot less than you might think.
In the UK, over 1.8 million disabled people receive the
HRMCDLA and over 16,000 receive the WPMS. Currently, there
are over 500,000 disabled people that have chosen to pay
their allowances to the Motability scheme to meet the cost
of having a powered wheelchair or scooter, through the Contract
Hire or Hire Purchase plans.
Am I eligible?
If you claim the HRMCDLA or the WPMS, you're eligible
- it's that simple. There are no credit checks and no waiting
lists.
You can check your eligibility by calling one of the following:

It's so easy to join
Get mobile today! It's simple. There are no waiting lists
and no credit checks.
Simply exchange all or part of your allowance (currently
£49.10 a week for DLA and £54.85 a week if you
receive the WPMS) for your brand new mobility scooter.
What does it cost?
Well, you could end up paying less than your mobility
allowance. If all of your mobility allowance is not used,
the remainder will be paid to you in the usual way.
The Motability Powered Scooter Scheme offers an extensive
range of mobility scooters and accessories.
There are two options (Contract Hire and Hire Purchase)
that enable you to turn your mobility allowance into a mobility
solution for your needs. Scootamatic can help you decide
which option would be best suited for your personal preference
and financial budget.
Contract Hire
With the convenience of a single monthly payment, no advanced
payment required, and all of the essential extras listed
below, 'Contract Hire' means worry-free mobility.

- Powered wheelchair or scooter
- Insurance
- Extended warranty
- Servicing and repairs
- Batteries and tyres (excluding punctures)
- 24-hour recovery service
- The period of the agreement is normally 3 years but
can be between 1-3 years, depending on the vehicle chosen.
The vehicle is returned at the end of the agreed period
with no further costs incurred.
Hire Purchase
Some customers prefer to buy their own vehicle, particularly
if special adaptations are needed. The period of the agreement
is normally 3 years but can be between 1-3 years, depending
on the vehicle chosen. You will own your vehicle after the
agreement has ended.

- Insurance
You are responsible for organising any payments for servicing
and repairs. However, you do have the option to purchase
cover for these items.The powered wheelchair or scooter
always comes with a minimum 1-year manufacturer cover that
will protect you against funding the cost of any serious
manufacturing defects during the first year of ownership.
