What adaptations are available on the Motability Scheme?

There are hundreds of adaptations that can be made to your vehicle on the Motability Scheme, ranging from simple driving controls to person hoists to lift a wheelchair user into one of our standard Ford cars.

All adaptations are designed to help make your driving, or travelling, experience as comfortable as possible and depending on which adaptations you choose they can help you drive, create wheelchair accessible cars, or get in and out of the car.

Here are just some of the options that can be available with a Ford Motability car...

  • An adjustable steering column
  • Push-pull hand controls
  • Left-foot accelerators
  • An electric hoist to lift powered wheelchairs and scooters
  • Swivel seats
  • Easy release handbrakes
  • Pedal extensions
  • Steering wheel balls
Access Aids

Access Aids for Motability cars

There are several ways a standard Ford car can be adapted to make it more accessible. These include:

  • An electric person hoist that physically lifts the user into the Motability car
  • Maintained, along with your car, by the Motability Operations Fleet Service team to provide worry-free motoring for the length of your contract
  • A swivel seat that can twist and, in some cases, lift and slope to help people get in and out of their car more easily

Hand controls for Motability cars

These are adaptations for drivers who find breaking or accelerating with standard pedals difficult.

Adaptations can include a push/pull device that allows you to control the speed of your car by pushing or pulling a lever.

If it’s steering that can be a little difficult, then things like a steering wheel ball can be fitted to make things easier, while adaptations are also available to help with things like indicating and indicating less hassle.

Storage Solutions

Storage solutions for Motability cars
