When you decide to join the Motability car scheme your dont need to use your entire allowance which may be of benefit. There is a probability that you could have a little amount left over as your Motability allowance by selecting a less expensive vehicle, scooter or wheel chair. Remember you must fuel, clean and pay fines plus damages on the car and probably the scooter if you ever incur such expenses. If you have no other source of income those expenses could be challenging and it may soon become difficult to maintain the car.

But you can make a couple of important decisions to keep you off that path. First, when selecting a car model make sure that it is within your budget so that it is covered by the mobility allowance (DLA) and leaves a sufficient amount of your weekly payouts. If you can settle for a car that requires £40 pounds (per month) on the Motability car scheme don’t hesitate, that’s  a money saver!

It is incumbent on the beneficiary or guardian to know where fines are likely to arise from and actively trying to avoid them. You need to have maintenance money to take care of issues not covered in the contract. That aside, maintaining a car also depends on the individual’s trends. If your daily activities are erratic and unplanned you may drive back and forth between destinations - consuming a lot of fuel. Consider other options. If you have to travel avoid traffic jam as these drain your petrol tank and unnecessary detours.

Washing the car can be done on your driveway at minimal or no costs.  Basic money saving tips should be what you need to think about. It is prudent that once you join the Motability car scheme your lifestyle isn’t compromised.
