      Hi All

      I am sure its been covered before but a search and I couldn’t  get a clear answer.

      we have received the advance GCB payment of £350 and i know we will get the new car payment of £750 in March when we pick up our new car but is it true that there is also a another £250 GCB payment too when we return the old car?

      sorry if this has been covered before

      Paul

        Yes. That’s right, I enquired about this very same thing as my next car is due next month

        Basically I have £1000 to come shortly after getting the new car (£750 new car payment + £250 balance of old GCB)

        Sounds like you’re in the same position

        I too had my £350 last year

          Sorry Paul but I’m as confused as you. I got the £350 as well but have no idea what I will get when I renew. Because my brain is mush.

            As David said, you will get the remainder of the GCB (£250) soon after taking delivery of your new vehicle plus a £750 new vehicle payment.

            If you did not recieve and early payment of the GCB (£350) you will recieve £600 soon after delivery of your new vehicle.

            If you have already recievedd £250 of the new vehicle payment due already having a new lease, you will get the remaining £500 from late February onwards.

              Well I hope David’s right!

              we pick ours up 1st March so i will post as soon as we get a payment. the £1000 would be very helpful.

                      I’m confused now.
                      I have a car already and had the gcb during covid when they paid it.
                      I am due to collect new car this week so I get a gcb for the new car? So confused

                        I assume you had an early gcb payment of £350 gcb during covid. When you collect you new car next week you will recieve another £250 gcb soon after you pick your new car up, providing its in good condition. For the car you have now the gcb was £600 (350 + 250).

                        At the same time you will also recieve what is known as a new vehicle payment of £250. After the initial anouncement Motability increased the new vehicle payment to £750. When/after you collect your new car next week you may recieve this £250 and £500 later or £750 in one payment This is different to the gcp.

                        Details are also available on Motability’s website 🙂

                          depends on how much covid adv you had, the  gcb for a 3r lease is 600 take away your adv and whats left is what you will get as gcb.

                          bbut there is a new lease pmnt now of £750 which you will get after picking up the car.

                            Is it a guarantee that we get it as my car is coming up for change but I have a lot of scuffs on the alloys so I assumed I wouldn’t get it or is it rare that the GCB isn’t paid?

                            I’m struggling to raise the money for the AP on the sort of car I want so every bit I can get makes a difference. I’ve been told I won’t get a grant because my current car is still suitable for my disability but I want to change asap as mine is a diesel but I now only predominately short, local journeys so it’s not great on consumption of fuel.

                              You should be OK Mark with a few scuffs and scratches as their reasonably lenient and I’ve not know of anyone who hasn’t had it.

                              If your struggling don’t forget you will get the £750 for being a loyal customer or the same for being a new customer however you won’t get these payment until after you paid the AP of your car so you will need that money put aside for a few weeks.
