What to consider if you’re under 25 

If you’re choosing a car as a younger driver, it can help to focus on what will make driving and day-to-day use work for you. 

Insurance and drivers 

The Motability Scheme includes insurance as part of your lease. You can also add up to three named drivers, which can give you flexibility depending on your situation. 

Manage your drivers at any time through your online account

Size and ease of driving 

Smaller cars, like superminis, can be easier to manage in busy areas or when parking. Larger cars offer more space but may feel different to handle, especially if you’ve learnt to drive in a smaller car. 

Fuel type 

You can choose from petrol, hybrid and electric cars. The right option will depend on how and where you drive. 

Features that support driving 

Many cars include features designed to support everyday driving, such as: 

  • parking sensors or a reversing camera  

  • cruise control  

  • driver assistance systems  

Why choose a car through the Motability Scheme 

Exchange your mobility allowance for a brand-new car, with a full package included. 

This includes: 

  • insurance for up to three drivers  

  • servicing and maintenance

This can make it easier to manage the cost of running a car. And we make paying simple: we’ll receive your payments straight from your allowance provider, giving you more time to focus on what matters most to you.
