All about us

We are the commercial organisation that delivers the Motability Scheme to over 800,000 customers in the UK, helping them to access independent mobility.

Our customers exchange their higher rate mobility allowance to choose a vehicle. Every customer lease includes insurance, servicing, tyres and breakdown cover all taken care of as part of our worry-free package. We are governed by the Motability Foundation, who set the Scheme’s strategic direction and oversee performance.

We work across the entire mobility industry, influencing the blueprint of emerging technology and transport solutions for our customers.

At Motability Operations we are making sure that no one is left behind in the transport revolution and we ensure innovation considers disability from the very beginning.

Our sustainable business model is designed to withstand external pressures, allowing us to deliver equitably for our customers. Our customers’ needs are at the heart of every decision we make, from financial and legal to marketing and operations.

What we do

We help our customers to get mobile.

We understand the importance of a vehicle for our customers; it’s what keeps them connected to the world around them, to the everyday, to the care they need, to their work and education, and the independence and freedom they value most.

We don't pay shareholder dividends, so any profit we make is 100% invested in supporting disabled mobility. 

 

Our purpose is to deliver smart, sustainable solutions that improve our customers’ mobility in a fast-changing world.

We’ve learnt what good looks like for our 800,000 customers. The vehicle they want, the support they need when they have questions or concerns, and the commitment to find a solution when something goes wrong.

If a vehicle breaks down, our concern is for our customer first and the vehicle second; we get them on their way or the support they need, whatever that looks like.

Our fleet

Our fleet is the largest in the UK and growing.

We offer our customers choice and value. 

So that our customers can have the latest vehicles and the best prices, and to continue to deliver our sustainable circular business model, we look at our fleet in three critical stages:

  1. Having the right vehicles available for our customers
  2. Providing servicing, maintenance and support during the lease period
  3. Refurbishing and selling end-of-lease vehicles to invest in disabled mobility

Our history

The mobility industry has seen radical transformation since the first car for disabled drivers was available in the UK in 1948.

Vehicles have adapted with new technologies and as we progress toward the green transition, more change is required. Our legacy of providing worry-free access to vehicles and support to disabled people since 1978, helps us navigate this change with the needs of our customers in mind. It helps us create new opportunities and experiences tailored to them.
