Hi @sueisumma and a warm welcome to the community!
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be possible at the moment, although you are able to add another named driver if the current person is unable to do so at the moment.
Here is Motability's FAQ's around COVID-19 which they have been updating.Scope -
Yes I agree. It costs a lot to pay for a car you are not using. I have had my lease for nearly 5 years and it is due to end in September. I would love to have the money instead of my car standing on the drive.

Hi @littleacorn and @sueisumma. Motability have updated their FAQs to say:
With less traffic on the roads as a result of the lockdown, will I be eligible for a refund from my Scheme insurance?
Yes, as lockdown has led to fewer drivers on the road, the Scheme is seeing a lower level of claims, enabling it to share this saving with customers. We have made this decision in consultation with Motability, the Charity. As a result, we are set to send an insurance-based refund of £50 to all customers.

Thats great news from the insuran e company but what about Motability its self should they not be doing the same!

Not really, if you had a car on HP would you expect them to be compensating people for not being able to use their cars as much? Don't forget there are many motability users who work and are still working.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Maybe it should be a refund on an individual basis then!

There is one issue the car showrooms are all closed, I assume motability are closed as well.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

The factories making the cars are also closed. Im in a dilemma?

@littleacorn are you still using the car for shopping/chemist/doctors visits?2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

@Adrian_Scope I just received it today in the form of a cheque
Hopefully others get theirs without too much delay or maybe already have it! -

I appreciate my £50, it's a lot of money to me
I don't know what I will do with mine yet -
Hi all just thought I would post and let you know about motabilitys offer of £600.00 advanced payment This payment is normally issued when you return the car at the end of your lease in good condition.
It maybe something that would be of a interest to some of you.
I spoke with them recently and found them extremely helpful and supportive .
