Motability explained
The Motability Scheme provides motorists with a disability with flexible and hassle-free access to a brand-new vehicle of your choice. At Budgen Citroën, we’re proud to offer this Scheme, plus an exceptional level of customer service and a range of high-quality new vehicles across the Citroën family.
Through its illustrious 100-year history, Citroën has been ‘Inspired By You’ – by your lives and your freedom. And the Motability Scheme allows you to enjoy all the independence that comes with a truly worry-free lease.
At Budgen Motors, we can provide you with the vehicle you need, and give honest advice on whether you might need any modifications. We aim to offer support right from the moment you walk through the door until the day you drive away in your vehicle and beyond.

How to apply
To apply for the Motability Scheme, simply choose the vehicle you want at a price that works for you, and the payments are subtracted from your higher rate mobility allowance every four weeks, then paid directly to us by the DWP.
The standard lease is over three years, and the Motability Scheme takes care of running costs such as insurance, servicing, maintenance and breakdown cover. The Scheme also offers over 500 different adaptations, many of which are available for no extra cost when fitted at the start of your lease. For example, the Citroën SpaceTourer people carrier can be adapted for ease of accessibility and additional stowage for wheelchairs and mobility scooters.
