Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Funding Options

There are multiple affordable and flexible funding options for Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles, so consider which works best for your budget.

Choosing WAV Supplier

If you’re considering a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle, you should look for a reputable convertor with experience in WAVs. Be sure to check their WAV customer reviews, and if you can, speak to some WAV owners to see how they perform.

You’ll depend on your WAV for your independence, so ensure your WAV supplier has a dependable aftercare service, and can provide any spare parts that you may need.

Although some vehicles may be more expensive, they could benefit from higher residual values, making it easier and more affordable to replace the vehicle in future.

Buy a New WAV

New Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles for sale can be purchased privately, and give you control over specification and colours. New WAVs typically have a longer warranty, giving you peace of mind, and come equipped with a host of modern features. You may be able to claim VAT Exemption on a new WAV.

Buy a Used WAV

Used WAVs, which are fully refurbished to a high standard, typically offer a lower-cost way to buy a WAV. Many WAVs only cover a low mileage, meaning you should have a range of high quality accessible vehicles with low mileage to choose from.

Lease a New WAV via Motability

The Motability scheme allows you to exchange your qualifying mobility allowance for a new Brotherwood WAV for a 5 year term, with insurance, maintenance and servicing included. There are mileage and usage limits to consider, and at the end of the contract, you’ll need to return the vehicle and start a new agreement on a new WAV.

Lease a Nearly-New WAV via Motability

Nearly-new Motability vehicles offer all of the benefits of a new Motability WAV, at a lower cost. The lease period is 3 years for a nearly-new WAV. Nearly-new WAVs are subject to availability, as they have to have been supplied on the Motability Scheme from new, but returned early in the original contract term.

Hire a WAV

If you only require a WAV for a short term, weekly or monthly Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle hire can get you on the road quickly. A flexible hire package can keep you mobile on a rolling monthly basis, perfect if you only need a vehicle for a short time, are undergoing rehabilitation or unsure of your future needs.
