Motability Adaptations | Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

At Baylis Peugeot, we know how important purchasing a new vehicle is to our customers. It is a big decision and a purchase that should make your life easier. For this reason, we offer a great range of Motability Scheme adaptations to tailor your vehicle to your requirements, no matter how specific.

We’re committed to helping you stay mobile, which is why we offer a wide range of mechanical and accessibility adaptations to keep your car accessible, safe and easy to use. Depending on your Scheme entitlement, many adaptations are available at no extra cost.

Options include steering adaptations, such as assisted steering and foot steering systems, as well as hand controls or adapted foot controls for acceleration and braking. We can also reposition the handbrake for easier use.

To support comfort and visibility, we offer rotating seats and adapted mirrors. For easier access, adaptations such as wheelchair ramps, tail lifts, hoists and person lifts are available to help you and your passengers get in and out safely.

You can explore below to learn more about the adaptations available.

Boot Hoist

A boot hoist lifts and stores your wheelchair or scooter in your car’s boot. Tie-downs are included to help keep it secure during travel. The size and weight of your wheelchair or scooter will determine the type of hoist and space required, so bring it to the dealership to ensure the hoist and vehicle you choose are compatible.

Hand Controls

If using standard pedals for braking or accelerating is difficult, hand controls such as a push/pull device can help. This common adaptation lets you control the car’s speed with your hands by pushing the lever to brake and pulling it to accelerate.

Foot Pedals

Foot pedal adaptations can help if you have difficulty using the standard accelerator or brake. These adaptations adjust the position or function of the pedals to suit your mobility needs, making driving safer and more comfortable. Several types are available depending on your requirements.

Remote Controls

Remote control devices make it easier to operate key car functions, such as indicators, windscreen wipers and headlights, from a single control panel mounted on the steering wheel. Some systems also include a steering aid, allowing you to steer and manage essential controls with one hand.

Rooftop Stowage

A car rooftop stowage unit could be a solution if you transport a manual wheelchair, and need to use your boot to store other items. They can usually be installed on either the passenger or driver side.

Steering Aids

If you have difficulty holding or turning a standard steering wheel, there are a number of simple solutions that may well help you. For example, a steering wheel ball can be fitted to allow you to have more control when steering the car.

Transfer Plate

A transfer plate fits to the side of the car seat, creating a smooth surface to help you move from your wheelchair into the vehicle. Once seated, it can be folded away neatly.

Adaptive Accelerators

An electronic accelerator can help if you have limited mobility in your legs. It allows you to control the vehicle’s speed using a light-touch electronic system, with several types available to suit different needs.

Electric Person Hoist

If you use a wheelchair, an electric person hoist can help you get in and out of the car by safely lifting you into the vehicle.

Swivel Seats

Swivel seats can make it easier to transfer from the car to your wheelchair.

In order to identify which adaptations you require it may be a good idea for you to have a consultation at an independent Mobility Assessment Centre. These centres are run by occupational therapists and technical specialists who can advise you on the vehicles and adaptations that best suit you. The Baylis Motability Specialist at your nearest dealership will then help you choose the right Vauxhall for you and confirm whether your adaptations are eligible under the Motability Managed Adaptations Programme. If this is the case, we will work with them to take care of the whole process on your behalf.

Please get in touch with us today at Baylis Peugeot, Cheltenham, to arrange your new Motability Scheme car, or to talk to one of our Motability Scheme specialists.
