Volkswagen Motability
The Motability scheme enables disabled drivers to drive a suitably adapted car, with a range of Volkswagens available and a series of competitive deals.
There are a wide range of Volkswagen models to choose from, including the popular Golf, smart Passat and Touran MPV, just to name a few. Famously practical and generous in terms of size, they can all be adapted in a variety of ways, from stowage and access alterations to modifying the driving controls so they are easier to use. Most of these adaptations come at no extra cost and the team at Marshall Volkswagen can organise them all for you.
All you have to do is select the car you would like to drive and pay for it using your mobility allowance. Our range of deals are designed to make the cars even more affordable with little to nil advance payments.
Designed to take the hassle out of motoring, the scheme builds in lots of ongoing costs including servicing, annual road tax and accident and breakdown cover. Insurance for up to two named drivers is included, as well as tyre and windscreen replacements.
We are here to help you and will take care of the whole process for you. You’ll drive away in a car that’s perfectly adapted to suit you, and it will be yours for up to three years with a 60,000-mile limit.
To get started with a Motability Volkswagen, make an appointment with Marshall by calling us or filling in the online enquiry form.

.
If you receive either:
- The Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (HRMC DLA) or
- The Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (ERMC PIP) or
- The War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS) or
- The Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
... you may be eligible to join the Motability Scheme.
