On the Motability Scheme, you can access hundreds of adaptations ranging from basic driving controls to person hoists for wheelchair users. We believe your motoring experience should be as stress-free as possible and adapting your vehicle can do just that. Whether you need help to drive, get in or out of the car, or stow your wheelchair, there is an adaptation to suit your personal needs.
Getting the adaptations made to your vehicle is easier and more cost-effective if you get it sorted at the same time you order your car. So, you can enjoy your Ford as soon as it is delivered, with your adaptations already fitted. Some adaptations even come at no extra cost, saving you money.
No matter what your needs are, our team of Motability specialists can help you establish what you find difficult with your current vehicle and which adaptations may help you. Sometimes solving your mobility issues can be as simple as choosing the right model, like a car with an automatic transmission for example. Whatever your needs, our friendly staff can help find a vehicle that is perfect for your individual needs.
Designed to make motoring easier, all of the adaptations available on the Motability Scheme will help make your driving experience more comfortable so you can enjoy driving again. However, it is important to bear in mind that not all adaptations are suitable for every type of vehicle due to the compatibility of the car or the adaptation. We recommend that you consider what adaptation you are likely to need before you choose your Ford.
