Motability Adaptions

Motability adaptations refer to components that can be fitted to a vehicle to make your driving experience more comfortable and safer. Many of our popular adaptations are supplied and fitted at no extra cost when arranged at the same time as ordering your new vehicle under the Motability Managed Adaptations Programme.

Hand Controls – allow you to control the speed of the vehicle with your hand, there are a number of different controls available depending on your needs
Electronic Accelerators – allow you to accelerate, requiring less effort than some hand controls and all include a hand operated push brake
Steering aids – these help with the ease of moving the steering wheel, providing you with more control
Pedal adaptions – pedals can be extended, bringing them closer to the driver’s seat and giving you more comfort whilst controlling the vehicle.
