Should be picking up new car in next couple of weeks and wondered if motability cover subscriptions for things like satnav and speed cameras.

My other half bought a new Citroën in 2020 and had to pay for these via app.

As my new car will be a Citroën too I wondered if these are covered and if so how?

The first year is usually covered, anything after that I think you’ll need to pay for.

we have extended our lease on our 5008 and connected nav was included in the 3 years but no longer. We had to pay the subscription ourselves.

No, I’ve had to pay for Skoda connect after first year

I got 3 years of Sat Nav with Live traffic updates included with my Mercedes A Class when i got it.

Same as Retro89 our B Class came with 3 years premium services included, we’re now into an extension and they have expired but it’s no great loss. I certainly wouldn’t pay for them.

I would imagine Motability would consider them as optional extras if they’re not included and as such would not pay for them.

If I seem a little strange, that's because I am.

Skoda Karoq SEL.

Thanks for replies. I find satnav without live traffic is a waste of time. Current Seat has lovely satnav but no live connection so been using my old Tomtom

If you have a smartphone and android auto or the apple variety use waze live updates always available via other users constantly updating about mobile cameras accidents road closures etc

Hopefully Android Automotive will be subscription free when it becomes mainstream?
