Stowage adaptions - which include rooftop stowage and car boot hoists.
-
Access adaptions - to help you get in and out of your car, including swivel seats and electric hoists.
All ŠKODA cars can be adapted to suit you. Contact your local
Motability specialist retailer today for more information.
Depending on the car, it will cost either all or part of your mobility allowance. If you wish to upgrade to a more expensive model that costs more than your allowance, you will need to cover that cost in the form of an advance payment.
We’re afraid not – the advanced payment isn’t a deposit. It is the amount paid to ŠKODA either before or on the day you collect your car. It is a one off, non-refundable payment.
Delivery times vary depending on the model, so stay in touch with the team at Motability who will keep you updated of any delays.
