Choosing the Right Motability Vehicle

Using a Motability vehicle can give you and your family freedom and independence, but with over 3,000 models available, choosing the right vehicle can seem daunting. Below is a list of things you need to consider to help you find the perfect Motability vehicle.

1. Running cost. Carrying heavy loads, as well as features such as air conditioning, will have an effect on fuel consumption, meaning your pockets will be lighter. It's worth doing some calculations to work out running costs before deciding on your new car. Don't forget lower emissions mean cheaper running costs.

2. Lifestyle. What are you going to use your vehicle for? What you use your car for will affect what roads you use. If you use motorway a lot and travel long distances, you'll need something that feels comfortable on longer drives. If you live in the city, you might want to consider a compact hatchback that fits into small spaces and nips around town easily.

3. Accessibility. Does your wheelchair fit? Can you get easily and comfortably into the car? These considerations are very important for choosing a car. Think about seat height, head room and door opening angles. These need to be correct to ensure a comfortable ride.

4. Adaptations. Some people need adaptations to their vehicles in order to make driving easier and more comfortable. For example, if you are unable to use the foot pedals in your car, a push and pull device will enable you to control the speed with your hand.

5. Test drive. ALWAYS test drive your car before purchasing. If you are planning to buy an automatic car, make sure the model you test drive is automatic. Check you can get in and out of the car easily, and make sure your test drive reflects your main driving usage. If your journeys are long, make dual carriageway driving part of the test drive, and always try parking. If you find the car uncomfortable or impractical, the dealer will be able to suggest alternatives or adaptations.
