Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) free yearly check

Your Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle supplier will check your Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle for free at your home every year. This is called an Annual Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle check or AWC. It means checking things like the ramp or lift, to make sure they’re working correctly and still meet your needs.

They will also check any adaptations you have and arrange any repairs or adjustments. The original supplier will do these for you.

We'll give you breakdown cover

We’ll give you RAC breakdown cover for any journey in the UK and in Europe, as long as you ask the RAC for this when you contact them to ask for a VE103, so you can travel with peace of mind.

If your Scheme car breaks down or will not start, call RAC Motability Assist on 0800 73 111 73. They’ll aim to get someone out to you within 45 minutes.

Or you can download the myRAC app(opens in a new window). It's the easiest way to report your breakdown. Even if you’re not sure where you are, report it using the app and the RAC will know exactly where to find you. It has other helpful features too, like a route planner, vehicle maintenance reminders, news and advice.
