Lifestyle – helping disabled people to become more mobile
EVERY disabled person has the right to freedom and independence – which includes the right to travel – thanks to an organization called Motability.
Established in 1978, Motability is a voluntary scheme and a registered charity originally set up by the Government to help disabled people to use their mobility allowances to get better value for money when buying or hiring wheelchairs or cars.
Lifestyle Europe is among the most experienced Motability distributors in Sussex, with our own dedicated Motability specialist, who works closely with disabled customers and their local support organizations.
This experience gives Lifestyle Europe a unique insight into the problems that disabled customers face in obtaining practical advice when selecting their new vehicle.
John Hearn is a full-time Motability specialist at Lifestyle Europe and uses his experience to help customers select the right financial packages to suit their needs and advise them on the different types of vehicle adaptations available.
Helping with all the form filling – a necessary part of applying for a car through Motability – is also a much-appreciated part of the unhurried, friendly service we offer. Purchase or HireJohn Hearn explains some of the ways in which disabled drivers can obtain a car from Lifestyle Europe using their motability allowance “As well as the option of purchasing a new or used car from us, vehicles can also be arranged for customers on a hire or hire-purchase basis”. He advises. “But you need to decide which method is best for you, because there are important differences between the two schemes”.
