Wheelchair Hoist in Motability car query
JamesPeter
Posts: 162 Forumite
I wonder if someone can help me with a query.
I currently have a Motability car which has an Aautochair Olympian boot hoist fitted for lifting my powered wheelchair in/out.
I am shortly due to order a new car on the scheme and will be going for something similar sized. Will Motability just move the hoist from my current vehicle to my new scheme car free of charge? Or do I have to get a complete new hoist system etc. The hoist was brand new last time I changed cars and is in perfect working order.
Many thanks
JP

From the Motability website...
Can I transfer adaptations from my old car ?
This may be possible as long as the adaptations are suitable for your new car. If you had the adaptations fitted through the MMAP at the start of your lease then you have the option of transferring them from your current vehicle to your next one at no extra cost. For more information either contact your adaptation installer or call us on 0300 456 4566.Its amazing how these banks can't even do simple calculations correctly..............0 -
Thanks all.
I couldn't find it on the Motability website originally but I had been searching under 'hoist' and not 'adaptions'.
Thanks again
