Mobility car and award for two years

Been awarded high mobility for two years. Have the option of getting a car on the mobility scheme. the contract is for 3 years. What happens if you have been awarded DLA for 2 years? Can you cancel the contract after 2 years if your DLA renewal is declined?
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    Motability usually wanto you to agree to pay the rental for the full 3 years, even if your DLA is not renewed.

    However, it may be that they make exceptions, and you'd be best asking them direct:

    Contract hire

    Through the contract hire scheme you can lease a new car supplied by a Motability Accredited dealer for at least three years. Comprehensive insurance, routine servicing and breakdown assistance are included. You will need to pay for the fitting and removal of any adaptations.

    You can apply if you have 12 months or more of your Disability Living Allowance 'award' remaining. If your award is not renewed during the full length of your chosen scheme, your car will need to be returned.
    At the end of the period, the car is returned to Motability Operations who operate the car schemes under contract to Motability.
