When you've identified the ideal scooter, proceed to place your order either through the website or by reaching out to Motability directly via their provided contact details.

Step 3: Sealing the Deal

After placing your order, a dedicated Motability representative will reach out to you. They'll walk you through the terms, contract details, and the leasing process. This is also when they'll coordinate the delivery of your chosen scooter. Additionally, they'll equip you with essential information on how to operate and maintain your scooter safely.
