Getting the best deal on a mobility car doesn’t mean limiting yourself to the smallest or lowest powered models available. As our pick of the 10 best mobility car deals shows, there’s a wide range of cars out there at keen prices to fit in with your requirements.
MG3 1.5 VTI-Tech Excite - £47.20 a week
With a weekly payment of just £47.20, the MG3 1.5 VTI-Tech Excite is one of the most affordable cars you can pick on the Motability Scheme. That keen price means you get to keep £14 of your full allowance. The Dacia Sandero may be cheaper but the MG3 comes with more kit. It can be driven by under-25s and has been much improved since it was facelifted.
Citroen C1 1.0 VTi Airscape Flair Convertible - £55 a week
If you like a bit of wind in your locks as you drive along, a convertible is fun but options are limited for mobility drivers, but with the Citroen C1 1.0 VTi Airscape Flair Convertible. It’s available with a roll-back fabric roof that’s like a giant sunroof. It’s quick and easy to use and still gives good refinement when it’s shut. This Citroen comes in with a weekly rental of £55, letting you hang on to £6.20 of your full allowance.
Renault Captur 0.9 TCe Play - £56.25 a week
The Renault Captur is one of the most popular compact crossovers for good reason. It’s enjoyable to drive, looks great and offers more interior space than the majority of its competitors. This makes it a sound bet for mobility drivers, who like the easy access to the driver’s seat. With no Advance Payment for the 0.9 TCe Play model through the Motability Scheme, you can have it for £56.25 per week and pocket the remaining £4.95.
Kia Stonic 1.4 2 - £58.50 a week
The Kia Stonic is one of our favourite small crossovers thanks to its smooth driving manners and refined nature. It’s also well equipped in 2 trim, so you don’t miss out on life’s luxuries. All of this can be had with the peppy 1.4-litre petrol engine for £58.50 per week, letting you collect the £2.95 left over from the weekly rental cost.
Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI SEL 5dr - £61.20 a week

All of this costs £61.20 per week.

Toyota’s Prius has been the poster car for hybrids for many years now and it’s easy to see why with this Icon model.

It can run on battery-only power for short distances, gives a combined economy of 61.4mpg and low 106g/km carbon dioxide emissions.

The 1.5-litre diesel is refined and the Acenta Premium is well equipped as standard.
MINI Countryman 1.5 Cooper Classic - £61.20 a week
MINI knows how to package fun into all shapes and sizes, so the Countryman is a good choice for mobility users looking for something a little funky to drive.

Its cabin has decent room for four and the boot is big enough to swallow a wheelchair. All this style comes for the price of your weekly allowance and no advance payment.
Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 GDi Premium Hybrid - £61.20 a week
Going green while choosing a mobility car and keep the cost in check does not have to difficult, as we found with the Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 GDi Premium Hybrid.
