    Although Motability have eased a slight burden by extending some leases by six months, what about the good condition bonus? By rights this should reflect the difference between 3 and 4 year leases hence another £150.00 to be returned. Just a thought but let us wait and see what Motability come forward with as a get-out clause. Stay safe out there all.

    From the Motability website Covid 19 (Coronavirus) FAQ’s page:

    What will happen with my Good Condition Bonus?

    We are planning to pay the Good Condition Bonus on the original lease end date for your car. However, please bear with us as we work to make this process possible remotely. This may mean that your cheque may take a little longer than it otherwise would. Please do not contact us, unless it is at least two months after your Good Condition Bonus was due and you have still not received your cheque.

    So, it appears you get your GCB at the end of your original lease.

    Although if you are happy with your current car it maybe worth speaking with Motability before your original lease ends and extending the lease to 4 or 5 years. You will then get the increased GCB for the extra years.
