Mercedes-Benz Hertfordshire is proud to support Motability – a national charity dedicated to helping disabled people become more mobile.

Under the Motability Scheme you can exchange your government funded mobility allowance for a brand new Mercedes-Benz. So if you receive any of the following you are eligible to apply:

Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance
Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment
War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement
Armed Forces Independence Payment
Since the scheme began in 1978, Motability has helped millions of disabled people with their mobility needs.

The Motability Scheme entitles you to:

A new Mercedes-Benz every 3 years
Insurance, servicing and maintenance
Full breakdown assistance
Tyre and windscreen replacement
60,000 mileage allowance over 3 years
Many adaptations at no extra cost
Annual Road Fund Licence
Up to two nominated drivers

When you visit the retailer to order your new Mercedes-Benz, you will need to bring:

Both parts of your driving licence if you are going to drive
Certificate of entitlement from either the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) or the Service Personnel and Veterans Agency (SPVA)
Proof of address such as a recent utility bill or bank statement
Nominated drivers’ driving licences and consent for their details to be checked by DVLA
Details of any previous accidents and driving convictions that you, or your nominated driver holds

Before collecting your new Mercedes-Benz, you will need to complete a signed agreement between yourself and Motability Operations. This simple online process is carried out at the retailer using your Personal Identification Number (PIN), which you will receive once your application has been accepted.

Finally, if your Mercedes-Benz has an Advance Payment*, you will need to pay this to the retailer upfront.

*Advance Payment covers the difference between the cost of your car and your allowance paid over the length of the agreement. Non-refundable.

To lease a car from Motability you must receive either:

 

Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance, the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment or the Armed Forces Independence Payment – currently £57.45 per week.

 

Or

 

War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement – currently £64.15 per week.

 

Providing that you have at least 12 months’ award length remaining, you will qualify for a new car under the Motability Contract Hire Scheme. You can also apply as a passenger if you are eligible, but unable to drive.
