The New Vehicle Payment is a one-off payment provided to Motability scheme members to be used towards the purchase of a new car (not to be confused with the Good Condition Payment which is money you get back at the end of your lease subject to you returning your car in good condition (the clue is in the title!).
This New Vehicle Payment was previously £250 but has been increased to £750. This enhanced payment is intended to help customers cope with the rising costs associated with new vehicles. By reinvesting funds into customer affordability, the Motability Scheme ensures that leases and Advance Payments remain as low as possible.
New Scheme Members
If you’re joining the Motability Scheme for the first time, make sure to place your order before 3rd January 2025 to qualify for the £750 payment. This deadline has been extended slightly beyond 31 December 2024 to account for the festive period.
Existing Scheme Members
If you’re renewing your lease and haven’t yet received the £750 payment, you’ll be eligible when you get your next car, no matter when that may be.
You can choose which option suits you best and this may depend on the Advance Payment on your vehicle of choice...
Payment sent to dealer
Your New Vehicle Payment can be sent direct to the dealer to assist towards the cost of your Advance Payment. If the Advance Payment on the car you've chosen is more than £750, you'll be required to pay the difference. If it's less than £750, Motability will send the difference to you once you've taken delivery of your car.
Payment direct to you
If you choose to have the payment sent direct to you, this will be paid to you in full within a few weeks of taking delivery of your new vehicle.
What if my car is delayed?
No need to worry! As long as your car is ordered before 3rd January 2025, you will still qualify for the £750 payment, even if delivery is delayed, you will still be eligible for your New Vehicle Payment!
