Reform Motability: End fees, benefit bias, and unfair WAV access for families
Review and reform the Motability Scheme. End benefit-based fees for WAVs. Ensure access is based on the disabled person’s needs, not their parents’ income. Introduce a fair rent-to-own option and review the monopoly held since 1977 to allow for more choice and transparency.
Motability was created with Government backing in 1977 and holds a monopoly over disabled vehicle leases. Families who work but don’t claim benefits are now penalised with high WAV fees. With £4.4bn in reserves and no competition, this must be reviewed. Access should be based on need, not income.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about what cares are offered through the Motability scheme are a matter for Motability Operations Ltd, which is responsible for leasing vehicles provided through the motability scheme.
