Hello Everyone: 
Hope someone can advise. We are due to re locate to Australia in December, will I get my good condition bonus on my notability car when I give it up?
No doubt if I said I could no longer drive I would get it but this would not be true, would be grateful if someone could advise.
KGW.

    Hi @kgw

    There is no reason why you should not get the bonus and any partiall advance payments, you made.

    You should phone Motability to explain your situation.

    Good luck in Austrialia, think of us about January 2019, freezing our socks off. Whilst your on Bondi beach doing your BBQ!

    Hi,

    If you're returning the car before the end of your lease then the amount of good condition bonus will be reduced. How much you receive will depend on the amount of time you've had the car. The good condition bonus has also recently increased from £250 to £500, less of course if you've had the car for less than 3 years. https://www.motability.co.uk/information-for-customers/cars-and-wheelchair-accessible-vehicles-customer-area/good-condition-bonus
