Choosing your next car is exciting, but it’s also a big decision. A test drive helps you find the right car for you, and you can try more than one to see which suits you best. It helps you understand how comfortable you’ll be driving or travelling in it every day, and whether it suits your needs and lifestyle.
When you book a test drive through the Motability Scheme, your dealer will guide you through everything you need to know. They’ll help you get to know the car, explain the key features, and answer any questions about accessibility, comfort or charging if you’re considering an electric vehicle (EV).
If you use adaptations, it’s a good idea to mention these before your visit so your dealer can prepare. That way, you can get a real sense of what the car will be like once everything’s set up for you.
A test drive is not just about getting behind the wheel. It’s your opportunity to check how easy it is to get in and out, how much space there is for any equipment you use, and whether it feels right for your daily journeys.
So, before you place your application, take the time to book a test drive. It’ll give you confidence in your choice, and help make sure your next Motability Scheme car truly fits you.
