Motability say the events will host a variety of exhibitors, including car manufacturers, and suppliers of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs), adaptations, scooters, and powered wheelchairs.

Visitors will be able to test drive a range of standard cars, electric vehicles (EVs), and vehicles fitted with adaptations. Test drives are bookable on the day and all guided by professional driving instructors.

Exclusive to Motability Scheme Live Birmingham are expert and customer speaker sessions. The full 2025 speaker lineup will be released soon, with previous speakers including BBC TV presenter Steve Brown, ‘The Dogfather’ Graeme Hall and journalist and disability influencer Lucy Edwards.

Lisa Thomas, Chief Marketing Officer at Motability Operations, said: “We’re committed to supporting our customers with the knowledge and tools they need to gain more access to independence and freedom.

“Whether someone is new to the Motability Scheme or has been a customer for a while, the annual Motability Scheme Live series is an essential resource, allowing customers to build their knowledge and be informed about their mobility choices. Year after year, we hear from attendees about how valuable they find these events and we’re excited to continue building on this success with our new name.”

The events are accessible and inclusive for all visitors, with facilities including a quiet room, ear defenders, pre-bookable BSL interpreters, accessible toilets, and a High Dependency Unit.

Assistance dogs are welcome, and free parking is available at each venue. Visitors can sign up to learn more about Motability Scheme Live now, including event FAQs over at motabilityschemelive.co.uk
