MOTABILITY

As the market leader in safety, with eight vehicles in the range scoring the maximum five stars in the Euro NCAP safety tests, Renault offers an extensive range of models through the Motability scheme.

Paying for your Car

Contract Hire: one regular affordable payment

'Contract Hire' offers worry-free motoring and the convenience of a single, regular payment. Simply by transferring your allowance to them, you get a brand new car as well as insurance, maintenance, breakdown cover and more. To widen your choice they also have a range of larger or higher specification options. If the cost of the car you have chosen is higher than your full allowance, you will need to pay the difference as an advance payment. Some smaller, less expensive cars don't require the whole of your allowance to be used. In this case, you'll continue to receive the rest of your allowance as normal. If your allowance increases during the agreement, you'll also receive the increase. Please note: If you choose a contract hire car package you must have at least 12 months award length remaining.

Hire Purchase

You may prefer to buy your own vehicle, particularly if you:
• Need to buy a new or used car
• Need adaptations and would prefer not to have to re-install them after three years (alternatively, we can normally extend a three-year agreement for a further two years when it expires)
• Regularly cover high mileage (i.e. above 45,000 miles over three years)
If you choose hire purchase, you negotiate the actual purchase price with your Motability dealer. Remember that you will be responsible for organising and paying for comprehensive insurance, breakdown recovery, servicing and repairs. Please note: If you buy a car with hire purchase, it is normally expected that you will be receiving the allowance for the full length of the agreement.

FAQ Motability

Q: I can't afford the advance payment. Can I get financial help?

A: If you are unable to afford the advance payment required Motability may be able to provide financial help. Please note that financial help is only given towards the least expensive solution that meets your mobility needs.

Q:Do you offer any price guarantees?

A: Yes. They offer a firm price guarantee to customers, which will ensure that the price you agree with the dealer when your application is accepted, is the price you pay when you collect your car. The price guarantee stands however long it takes for your new car to be delivered. The only case where the price may alter is if the car description changes.

Q:Can I just call in on the dealer, or do I have to make an appointment?

A:If you have specific technical questions it is well worth making an appointment to visit the Motability Specialist at a time that suits you. Some dealers can provide a home visit or transport to the showroom.

Q:I've found the perfect car! How do I apply?

A:Once you have decided on your car, the Motability Specialist at your chosen dealer will complete the application form with you. You will need to provide the dealer with your driving licence and award entitlement notice, proof of address, driving licences for other named drivers, and details of any previous accidents and driving convictions that you, or your named drivers may have.

Q:How long before my car arrives?

A:Your car dealer will advise when your new car will be delivered, which could be as little as a few weeks. Stay in touch with your dealer in case there are any delays.
