Frequently Asked Questions
The answers to the questions we most regularly get asked. See our FAQs page for more or contact our team for anything more specific.
No, all of our adaptations are available for privately owned vehicles also.
Adaptation prices can vary depending on vehicle make and model. Through the Motability Scheme many are also subsidised, with some even being free of charge. To quickly get a precise quote contact our team.
The Motability Scheme provides an affordable, worry-free way for people with disabilities to lease a car, scooter or powered wheelchair in exchange for their mobility allowance. Des Gosling Mobility are proud to be a Motability Accredited Company which means we are fully licensed to fit vehicles with all manner of adaptations. The Scheme is operated by Motability Operations Ltd, under contract to Motability, a registered Charity.
Hoists work in different ways depending on the make and model selected. If you have never used a hoist before we would advise you to contact us to arrange a free demonstration, with no obligation. You can either visit us at our premises in Derbyshire or we can arrange for one of our specialists to come to your home.
This is one of the most common questions we get asked here at Des Gosling Mobility, and the easiest way to find out is to simply contact us and ask. Our staff are familiar with all different types of scooters and cars, and can usually give you an answer straight away. If you would like to figure out for yourself if a scooter will fit inside a car then have a look at this quick guide below:
- Decide whether or not you are willing to lose two back seats of the car. If you are then you can load the scooter lengthways and usually don’t need to worry about the width or length of the scooter.
- Decide whether you want to load the scooter unfolded, folded, or seat off. Generally you would have to load the scooter folded or seat off, depending on the height of the boot.
- Take measurements of the car boot and the scooter, or search for them online (you can generally find the scooter dimensions on the manufacturer’s website).
- Remember to account for the size of the hoist (add about 5 inches for the height and 6 inches for the width).
- Make some calculations and you should be able to figure out if the scooter will fit into the boot of the car
Almost all driving adaptations allow someone else to drive the car as usual. Depending on the adaptation, they can either be folded away, turned off, or partially removed using a quick release. In some cases, nothing needs to be done at all. To check what needs to be done for your particular adaptation get in touch with our team.
