The Government’s announcements regarding COVID-19 are having a major impact on the Motability Scheme. The majority of Car retailers showrooms are now closed meaning they are unable to accept any new orders, manage vehicle handovers or vehicle returns.
Motability have taken the decision to not accept any new applications until further notice and therefore the latest prices for the Motability Scheme will not be launched as usual on 1 April 2020.
