Can you get NHS discounts on new cars?

Yes, lots of dealers and manufacturers offer discounts on new cars and these have increased since the pandemic. There are also plenty of extras like free roadside assistance or discounts on servicing and MOTs for existing owners, too, so if you are employed in NHS health and social care, education and childcare, public safety or are a national security worker earning less than £50k per annum it's always worth asking about what deals are available.

Does Toyota do NHS discounts?

Toyota doesn't offer a specific NHS discount itself, but we have seen deals at individual dealers including Listers which offered £500 of any new Toyota to NHS staff. It's always worth asking the question if you can prove you work in the NHS as discounts on new cars, including leases, are often offered, as are extras like free breakdown cover or price reductions on servicing and maintenance packages.

Can you get discount on cars with a Blue Light Card?

Yes. Providing you are an employed and paid staff member of the NHS and can provide a form of ID that shows your name, employer, job role and date within the last 3 months you can get a Blue Light Card for £4.99 for a two-year subscription.

This gives you access to 15,000 discounts from retailers across the UK, including a number of car dealership groups and carmakers like Citroen.
