Helpful Motability Information

The Motability Scheme allows people with disabilities to remain mobile while minimising car ownership's financial burden. There are many advantages of Motability Insurance from breakdown assistance, so find out more today and enjoy LSH Auto Motability in full.

Assistance and protection for breakdown

You will benefit from full breakdown cover for the full lease period when you apply for the Motability Scheme and your application is approved. RAC Motability Assist provides this and is designed to give you peace of mind while out and about.

The cover for Breakdown includes:

Recovering

RAC Motability Assist can attempt to get your car up and running as soon as possible, whether you break down at work, home or on-the-go. Or, take it to a repairer near you.

Onward journey

Where required, replacement transport will be arranged. Motability Assist can also help to arrange up to £99 per person or £300 per group for overnight lodging or onward travel costs, whichever is the lower number. They can carry up to 8 people to a single location as well.

Cars for replacement

You'll be issued with a new vehicle for up to 48 hours if your vehicle is not roadworthy and needs any sort of repair. Terms and conditions apply.

Is there anything that RAC Motability Assist doesn’t cover?

• Travelling in Europe
• Trailers and caravans

RAC Mobility does not cover travel by road outside Europe. RAC European breakdown cover is available when travelling across Europe.

RAC Motability Assist can tend for your vehicle if your mobility vehicle breaks down when towing a caravan or trailer. However, there will be no support for the cost of caravan or trailer repairs. RAC Motability can tow your vehicle and caravan / trailer to a destination of your choosing if the breakdown is due to a mobility vehicle fault. They will also tow you to safety if the caravan / trailer caused the problem, up to a distance of 10 miles.

If I break down, what do I do?

On 0800 73 111 73, call RAC Motability Assist and someone should be there within 45 minutes to help. Once you’ve made the important call, you must:

• Remain next to the kerbside or hard shoulder
• Switch the engine off and put your hazard lights on
• Get everybody out of the car, but leave your animals inside.
• If required, use motorway emergency telephones (UK 0800 73 111 73, Republic of Ireland-1800 535 005). Provide all important data such as your name, registration number, location, and what you believe might have caused the vehicle to break down. Let RAC know if anyone has a wheelchair.

Driving overseas

With mobility insurance, you can take your vehicle free of charge to Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein and abroad within the European Union for up to 90 days in any 12-month period.
