    Probably best you ask Motoability or the dealer that question, as far as the dealer is concerned it is just another car on a lease deal, so I would doubt they would deliver it, I assume theremay be some paperwork to sort out that would be better done at the dealership.
  • thanx for the quick reply i will have to pop in to get the welcome pack and will ask then
  • You'd have to go into the garage to pick the car up - if they are worth their salt there will be a proper handover.

    For that you will need to check with Motorbility/the dealer.

    I know going back a few years we had tow bars fitted to our mobility cars, but IIRC they were fitted at the dealership/arranged by the dealer, I suspect they may insist on that to ensure it's done correctly and with the manufacturers approved kit as it's going onto a new car they own.
    It may well have changed though, as the last one was about 10 years ago, so it's not recent experience.

    A friend of mine has a tow bar on his mobility car. Some dealers will deliver car on request.

    Enjoy your new wheels.

    You can have a tow fitted by any VAT registered professional company, provided you have asked permission from Motabilty and you have to advise their (your) insurance company (RSA - no extra charges involved).

    You can also leave it on when you come to change your car.
  • aw right thatll be great if i could have a tow bar fitted saves messin about wiv puttin my scooter in car
