In a bid to ensure that disabled drivers take full advantage of the support available to them when purchasing a new vehicle, Vauxhall retailer, Marshall of Leicester is on a quest to raise awareness of eligibility for the Motability scheme amongst local residents.

The scheme enables disabled people to use part, or all, of their disability allowance to lease a brand new car*, and with many Vauxhall models available with nil advanced payment, the dealership on Thurmaston Lane is proud to offer Motability customers a wide range of new and exciting vehicles at competitive prices.

The retailer's Motability services include vehicle adaptations, aftersales service and access to other Motability products, to ensure worry-free motoring.

And to make the process even easier, there are no waiting lists, credit checks or assessment procedures to go through. What's more, customers do not even have to have a drivers' licence, as they can nominate two drivers, whilst parents and carers can apply on behalf of a child aged 3 years or more.

Selecting your ideal Vauxhall

As a Premier Partner, customers at Marshall of Leicester can take advantage of a variety of Vauxhall models.  The Astra range starts with an advance payment from £0, whilst the Astra Sports Tourer is a sleek-looking load carrier and is available with an advance payment from £0 to Motability customers in three different trim levels - from the entry-level Exclusiv through to the sporty SRI and luxurious SE.

The Insignia has also proved a popular choice with Motability customers, with the SRi 2.0CDTi 16v (130ps) 5-door hatchback for an advanced payment from just £699**, and for just £100** more, it's available with satellite navigation.

Meanwhile, for Motability customers keen to reduce their carbon footprint, they can take advantage of Vauxhall's expanding range of ecoFLEX models, which offer outstanding value for money. The stylish 5-door Corsa SXi 1.3CDTi (75ps) ecoFLEX features Vauxhall's latest start/stop technology and is available for a fixed weekly rental of just £51.40 and no advance payment.

And, an ideal choice for those with families is the spacious seven-seater Zafira, available for an advanced payment from only £149. With its upright seating position and higher roofline, it makes for easy access and a comfortable ride. Again, the Meriva is another accessible vehicle with advance payments from £0.

In addition to the huge choice of cars available on the scheme, customers can also benefit from free-of-charge parking sensors and metallic / pearlescent and brilliant paint on all Vauxhall Motability models.

Steve Tudor, Retail Operator at Marshall of Leicester, comments: "We are very proud to be able to offer disabled motorists the chance to drive away in a Vauxhall vehicle that fully meets their mobility needs.

"We work tirelessly to demonstrate our continued commitment to Motability and offer competitive pricing throughout, including increasing the number of models available at nil advance payment. This enthusiasm for great value for money ensures that our models remain some of the top choices for Motability customers in the area.

"What's more, we have a dedicated, fully trained Vauxhall Motability team on hand here at Marshall of Leicester to offer expertise and advice to help local customers choose a car that best suits their needs. We can even arrange to visit customers at their home and provide a test drive, to make the process even easier."

Award winning expertise

A record 50,000 Vauxhall Motability sales were made last year, and as a winner of the Motability Supplier Awards in 2011, customers can drive away safe in the knowledge that Vauxhall is one of the largest suppliers of the independent, not-for-profit charity that provides mobility solutions for disabled people and their families.

Steve concludes: "We're confident that we can offer disabled customers exactly what they're looking for without compromise. So we'd like to encourage anyone already part of the Motability scheme, or who is thinking of joining, to get in touch with our team."
