Motability adaptations can make it easier for you to use your Vauxhall vehicle of choice. However, before selecting a Geely car, we recommend that you consult your nearest Driving Mobility centre.

Once you’ve made an appointment with Driving Mobility, they will be able to make an assessment of your physical situation and recommend the best vehicle for the type of modifications you require.

When the assessment has been made, our Motability expert will then confirm which of your required adaptations can be provided at no extra charge. Many modifications are available for free, provided they’re incorporated at the start of your vehicle lease.

Motability adaptations come in three categories:

Driving

If braking and/or acceleration is an issue, the inclusion of hand controls could be the perfect solution. There are other acceleration alternatives, however, including an electronic device which is supplied with a hand-operated brake. Alternatively, you might feel happier with a left-foot accelerator if you have limited right-leg mobility.

Another solution is to have adaptations made to existing pedals, causing them to be extended, thus bringing them closer to your driving position.

If steering is a problem, there are alternatives to a traditional steering wheel, such as a steering ball, which many disabled drivers find easier to operate because it requires single-handed use. Actually, a range of steering aids are available. For instance, you might benefit from the addition of one or more remote control devices, which can be used to operate indicators, windscreen wipers and headlights, etc.

Access

There are a number of options that will allow you to get in and out of your vehicle with greater ease. One of the most popular is a transfer plate, which sits unobtrusively by the side of the driver’s seat and can be folded down so that it’s at the same level as your wheelchair position. This will allow you to slide from your wheelchair to the driver’s seat and vice versa.

A manually operated or motorised swivel seat is another solution – or, an electric hoist could be installed, which will lift you in and out of your car. It might be worth considering side steps too, which are particularly useful with larger vehicles (and when not in use, they sit neatly underneath the car.)

Storage

There are various kinds of manual and power-operated hoists available, each allowing easy placement and retrieval of a wheelchair or scooter into/from the boot. Rooftop stowage is another option. It uses an electric hoist system and is particularly useful if you require boot space for other purposes.
