We’d love to know you’re coming. That’s why this year, you’ll need a ticket for Motability Scheme Live.
Booking your ticket before you come helps us improve your visit. We’ll have the right people and vehicles ready for you. Tickets are free to book.
Discover what’s waiting
Whether you’re new to the Scheme or thinking about your next lease, there’s something for you to discover at our Motability Scheme Live, Birmingham event.
Explore a wide range of vehicles
Whether you stay for an hour or make a full day of it, our NEC event is your chance to see, try, and discover how the Scheme could make everyday travel easier.
You’ll see over 150 cars and Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs). Sit inside them, lift the boot, and get a feel for them. It’s a great way to find your next Scheme vehicle. See over 70 scooters and powered wheelchairs and try them out, in our indoor scooter track.
Test drive your future
Want to get behind the wheel? At Motability Scheme Live you can test drive standard and adapted cars, including electric vehicles (EVs).
See how a vehicle feels, how accessible it is for you, and how comfortable you are in the driver’s seat or as a passenger, with a professional driver.
You can book a test drive on the day. It’s a practical way to try your next Scheme vehicle, and can make all the difference when it comes to finding what’s right for you.

Visit our Adaptations and WAV Hub
Our hub is somewhere you can learn more about WAVs and vehicle adaptations, ask questions, and understand how getting these works.
You’ll see a wide range in one space, next to advisors who can explain how to get started, what to consider, and how WAVs and adaptations work on the Scheme. You’ll get clear, practical information, to help you choose with more confidence.
You can also visit the Nearly New WAVs area. Here, you can learn what ‘nearly new’ means on the Scheme, and explore a few pre-owned WAVs that are available now. See up to six vehicles, look inside, compare layouts and features, and speak to the team about how nearly new WAVs work.
EV Hub
Whether you’re already interested in EVs, starting to explore your options, or simply want to understand what all the conversation is about, our EV Hub is a great place to begin.
Visit the Go app area to see how the Go with the Motability Scheme app can make charging an EV simpler when you’re out and about.
