Choosing The Right Car
In order to help you choose the correct car, we have listed the points below for review.
Price
At Sinclair Skoda we have cars available at no more than the cost of your weekly allowance. We call this 'nil' advance payment (AP).
Suitability
Cars vary considerably in measurements. Seat height, door opening angle and storage space for wheelchairs and equipment can all make the difference between a car that is suitable and a car that is neither enjoyable nor comfortable to drive.
Wheelchair Accessible
If you have difficulty transferring from your wheelchair into a standard car, then a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAV) could be for you.
Fuel Consumption
Fuel costs can add a great deal to your cost of motoring and cars vary significantly in how many miles per gallon (mpg) they achieve. Cars with a higher mpg cost less to run and are often more environmentally friendly.
Greener Choices
In order to minimise the environmental impact of motoring, we have vehicles available within the Skoda range, with lower emissions for you to choose from. Did you know that by choosing a diesel model of the car you are considering, you could potentially save money over the course of your lease?
Insurance
As is common with many insurance policies if you intend to add drivers aged under 25 to your insurance policy restrictions and higher excesses are applied. Drivers under 25 are restricted to cars in Car Group 18 or below of the Association of British Insurers (ABI) 1-50 scale. Please check carefully with your dealer when choosing your car, and ask about PASS PLUS training to reduce the excess for under 25s.
Adaptations
Many of the most popular adaptations can be added to your car at the start of your lease at no additional cost. Simple adaptations can assist with speed and steering; signalling and safety; stowage systems; and seating and access.
