What is a Motability car?
If you receive a benefit in the UK because of a disability or illness (e.g. PIP, DLA, AFIP), it can be used to lease a car through the Motability charity. You must have at least 12 months left before your benefit ends when you apply for the car. You might need to make an upfront payment (although you can get help with this), then monthly payments are taken straight from your allowance provider. You can choose the car most suited to you and can request adaptations where necessary. The scheme also includes car insurance, vehicle tax, breakdown cover, insurance and MOT, support with your electric car.
The aim of the Motability scheme is to ensure you have freedom and independence in an affordable car that suits your needs.
What is a hybrid car?
A hybrid car switches between two power sources - an efficient petrol engine and a self-charging hybrid battery. This means that it emits less carbon than a petrol or diesel car, but isn't a zero-emission vehicle like an electric car. You can get a plug-in hybrid car (the battery can be charged from an electric charge point) or a self-charging hybrid car (the battery recharges using energy generated through the vehicle's engine or brake).

Eastern Western has plenty of excellent Motability cars with Motability Offers Scotland. One of the most popular in the range is the Toyota Yaris - a nippy city car that's easy and smooth drive around in. The Mazda 2 is similar to the Yaris, and it is also great for getting about urban landscapes in. For something more spacious, the Toyota Corolla is a reliable estate car that focuses on fuel economy. The Renault Arkana E-TECH is a robust SUV that's great for family life (and looks great). And the Ford Kuga PHEV is another great SUV option available as a plug-in or self-charging hybrid.
