The Daihatsu Range

Motability is an independent not-for-profit organisation begun in 1978 to give disabled people access to safe, reliable and affordable cars. Motability meant 'goodbye' to the cramped, light blue one seater with no space for passengers or the fourth wheel! Now you can lease a new vehicle from Dearne Valley Motor Company - and other reputable dealers and manufacturers, and enjoy safe and comfortable travel.

The Schemes

Motability is always developing and refining the schemes and works closely with Dearne Valley Motor Company and other dealers to find new ways to improve your experience as a customer. The two schemes are:

A Contract Hire Scheme for New Cars

Available on a three-year hire lease, this is the simplest way of having a brand new car. One regular payment each month covers:

Comprehensive insurance
Road Tax
Free replacement tyres
Replacement of windscreens or windows
RAC breakdown cover
Maintenance, servicing and repairs
Plus, if the car comes back in good condition after three years without any insurance claims you’ll be eligible for £200 from Motability.

The table below provides details of new cars in the Daihatsu range which are available on a contract hire basis through the Motability scheme.
