From simple driving controls to person hoists for lifting wheelchair users, there are hundreds of adaptations available on the Motability Scheme. All adaptations are designed to help you drive, get in or out of the car, or stow your wheelchair or scooter, so your motoring experience is more comfortable.
The best way to arrange for your adaptations to be made is to take care of it when you order your vehicle – it’s both simpler and more cost-effective. This way, your ŠKODA will be delivered with the adaptations already fitted. Some adaptations even come at no extra cost.
At Beadles ŠKODA, we can help you establish what you find difficult with your current vehicle. Whether it’s accessibility or driving controls, our Motability can find a solution to suit your motoring needs. Some issues can be solved just by choosing the right model, such as automatic transmission for example. Our friendly team can work with you to find a vehicle that meets your needs.
Adaptations are designed to make motoring easier and more comfortable. However, not all adaptations are suitable for every type of vehicle, either due to the compatibility of the car or the adaptation. It is important that you consider what adaptations you need before you choose your ŠKODA.
