Peugeot Working towards a better life

Passing your driving test and buying a new car is one of the most exhilarating things in your life. The independence of travelling absolutely anywhere in the UK is fantastic but what if it's still a challenge; what if you have a disability? What help is there for you?

Unknown to may Peugeot enthusiasts, their favourite manufacturer has been a main supporter of a charity that works towards helping disabled people of all ages achieve the freedom of owning a car. Motability is a great scheme that enables people to lease or buy a car by using some of their Disability Living Allowance or War Pensions Supplement. If you have ever wondered what help's out there for you, read on or visit www.motability.co.uk for more information.

We often take it for granted just how easily we can buy cheap Peugeot car insurance and hop into a car, however, for some people it just isn't that easy, especially if you're unable to work a full time job and afford buying your own car. That's where Motability comes in, with the help of car dealerships such as Peugeot, Motability can help thousands of people across the UK lead their lives as everyday motorists should do.

Car adaptors
One of the important aspects to consider if you have a disability is how your car might need to be adapted to suit your needs. This may include hand controls to operate the accelerator and brake, a steering knob, wheelchair hoists, cushion supports and rotating seats. With this in mind, it makes sense that you buy a newer vehicle. You might like the look of a golden oldie but what about when it fails to start up and you have to replace it, you would need to have the car adapted all over again.

This is where the likes of Peugeot can help its customers. Not only can you get great motor insurance deals with any one of Peugeot's models but thanks to their involvement with Motability since 1978, motorists can choose from a wide selection of their vehicles to have adapted. In the words of the manufacturer the Peugeot range "will meet the motoring needs of almost every customer." To read more about how Peugeot is involved in the scheme visit www.peugeot.co.uk.

So how does the scheme work?
You could be eligible to receive help from Motability if you are currently receiving the higher rate of the Mobility component of Disability Living Allowance or War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement.

The following information tells you how the scheme has developed over the last few years with the involvement of such manufacturers as Peugeot. The complete hire package now includes:

A new car of your choice every three years
Insurance and personal accident cover for driver and passengers
Servicing and maintenance by your Motability dealer
Full breakdown assistance from the RAC
Annual tax disc sent directly to your home (except in Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man)
45,000 miles mileage allowance over three years
Free replacement tyres fitted by Kwick-Fit
Window or windscreen replacement at no extra cost
One-stop customer helpline
Help with transport (where possible) when your car is being serviced or replaced

With over 3,000 vehicles available on the scheme, many of which are Peugeots, your life could be made a great deal easier with the help of Motability. Whether you have a disability yourself, are a full-time carer or have a child with a disability, Motability could help you with your transport difficulties.

Where many of us simply worry about finding the best woman car insurance quote, Motability offers a solution for those with disabilities. If you would like more information visit www.motability.co.uk.

Car insurance news 2005

*A replacement car can normally be arranged under one of the following conditions: (1) Comprehensive policyholders – a replacement car may be available under the terms of your insurance policy. Please check your policy details for more information. (2) Non fault accident – where we have the name, car registration number and insurance details of the person who caused the accident, we can supply a replacement car. This is done on a credit hire basis which means the costs for this service will be passed onto the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. We may not be able to arrange a replacement car where we are unable to get an admission of liability from their insurance company, or where the driver is untraceable or uninsured. (3) Repair garage – if your car is booked in for repairs following an accident, the repair garage may be able to provide a replacement car (subject to availability).
