Vehicle choice and accessibility

The quarterly range includes smaller WAVs for up to five people, medium-small vehicles seating up to six, and medium-large options for as many as nine. Some models can carry two wheelchair users, while the largest vehicles provide additional room for larger or heavier wheelchairs and mobility equipment. Customers can search by size, accessibility features and Advance Payment.

Lease changes and VAT

For most new orders placed from 1 July 2026, VAT and insurance premium tax apply to leases. Motability says it has absorbed some costs while retaining an all-inclusive package covering insurance, breakdown assistance, servicing and maintenance. WAV prices are displayed at 0% VAT for customers who qualify for relief, subject to completing a Customer Eligibility Declaration with supplier assistance.

Choosing and ordering

Customers can compare a WAV with an adapted car, and suppliers can advise on adaptations or a Drive From WAV where appropriate. Suppliers can arrange vehicle trials and help complete orders. Prices may change between quarters, but an accepted lease price will not change. Prices listed for applications from 1 July to 30 September 2026 apply to recipients of the higher-rate mobility components of DLA or PIP, as specified by Motability. Availability and delivery times may vary by model.
