Can I have more than two drivers?
With a Motability Contract Hire lease you can propose up to two
drivers free of charge, one of whom may be the Hirer. Under
certain circumstances, a third driver may be included for which
an additional premium will be payable.
A charge of £219 is payable to provide cover for a third
driver for the full period of your 3 year lease, however if you
have less than 3 years remaining on your lease, this charge may
be lower. Please contact our Customer Services Department who
will confirm the charge applicable to you.
Please note however, a third driver may only be included for
the period you have remaining on your policy.
If you would like to request a third driver, you will need to
call RSA Motability Customer Services Department on Freephone
number 0500 37 37 37.
