Please remember that only those drivers you have listed under the ‘permitted drivers’ section of your Certificate of Motor Insurance will be covered to drive your Motability vehicle.
If you move house or change any of your contact details, please let Motability know as soon as possible to prevent any delays. Please bear in mind only Motability customers or their nominees can provide updates. If your vehicle or personal details have changed, please contact Arnold Clark on 0141 648 1088, or email customerchanges@arnoldclark.com.

Yes, there is a choice of eco-friendly vehicles, including electric and hybrid cars and WAVs, available to lease on the Motability scheme. If you are considering an electric vehicle, you will need to have access to a charge point to recharge the battery and pay for the electricity that is used.
One of the great things about leasing an electric car through the Motability Scheme is that the home charge point is included at no extra cost for customers leasing their first pure battery electric vehicle.
To get a home charge point fitted, you must have off-road parking. If off-road parking is not available, you’ll be given access to a network of charging points for easy on-street charging.

If you’re eligible for the Motability car scheme, all you need to do is contact one of our Motability dealers and arrange an appointment with our Motability specialist who will help guide you through the process.
You can order your next Motability car three months before your lease expires, however, it’s a good idea to start thinking about your next vehicle a few months before this. At this stage, get in touch with your local Motability dealer and advise them of the make and model you’re interested in. They will then be able to give you more information and arrange a test-drive.
There are three pricing options to choose from when leasing your new Motability vehicle.
