What is Motability? Motability is designed to enable those with a disability and their families to enjoy hassle-free motoring and a range of additional benefits in exchange for a qualifying mobility allowance. You’ll have access to a brand-new KIA vehicle, insurance, routine maintenance and breakdown assistance, as well as being able to specify adaptations to suit your needs. Your lease renews every three years, giving you access to the latest vehicles, technologies and safety features.

● Enhanced rate mobility part of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
