BYD Motability

Welcome to Charles Hurst BYD Belfast Motability

Charles Hurst BYD Charles Hurst is proud to be a partner of the Motability Scheme and we are delighted to offer BYD vehicles as part of the scheme.

The Motability Schemeis a government-funded scheme that aims to help people with disabilities to become more mobile. If you receive a qualifying Motability allowance with at least 12 months left, you can exchange this for a brand-new BYD car suited to your needs. 

At Charles Hurst BYD Belfast, we have a range of BYD vehicles available on the Motability Scheme and are happy to assist you in finding the perfect car so that you can enjoy greater freedom and independence. 

What does the Motability Scheme offer? 

• Servicing and MOT - Regular services and routine repairs to keep your vehicle running perfectly. 
• Insurance cover - You can add up to three named drivers and can change these at any time. 
• Breakdown cover - You receive RAC breakdown cover to travel with peace of mind. 

Do I get a no-claims bonus on Motability?

Due to the fact the vehicle is owned by Motability Operations Ltd, any accrued no-claims bonus will not be able to be carried forward.

Similarly, if a personal no-claims bonus was held prior to leasing a Motability vehicle, it is likely that this will no longer be accepted as of the time in which the lease with the Motability Scheme is terminated. However, some insurers do accept a previous no-claims history with them as suffice, although this often tends to have expired after two to three years.

RSA Motability (RSAM) may be able to offer you a letter of no claims however, detailing your time driving a Motability Scheme vehicle, which you could present to your new insurer. In order to request this letter, please contact RSAM.

Can any other allowance be used with Motability?

Other than the allowances mentioned above, unfortunately no other allowances may be used in conjunction with Motability under any circumstances.

Do I own the car at the end of the lease?

At the end of the lease, as the vehicle is owned by Motability Operations, you will be presented with three alternatives. You may either:

• Have your allowance reinstated and return the car
• Extend the lease and keep the current car
• Or, lease another car through the Motability Scheme
