Motability car

Options
Hi
I'm looking into getting a car on the Motability scheme.
Question is my partner has a provisional licence. Although I will be the one claiming it can they still drive it? Will they be able to go on the insurance that they provide? x

    You can only have one provisional driver on the policy and they can not be the only driver. Have a look here..

  • Thanks so much for replying!
    Just one thing though, I looked at that link and it says about a few restrictions.
    It says about under 25s can't drive anything above 120 horse power, or a ABI
    Insurance group of over sixteen.
    Does this apply to older people as well or just under 25s

    I'm not sure sorry. You can give them a call and ask..

    I'm picking up my mobility car on Friday and have called them a million times asking questions LOL. They're really helpful and they usually pick up straight away.
  • That's brilliant.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    I hate using the phone but if they are friendly I can do it x

    It applies to under 25's. Im not sure why you think it would apply to older people as well.



    Everything you need to know is on the motability website.

    Do be aware that some cars have advance payments that need to be paid to the dealer when you collect the car. How much this will be will depend on your choice/spec/adaptions of the car you chose.
