4 4 A Dealer s Guide 2018 WELCOME TO YOUR 2018 ANNUAL DEALER GUIDE Thank you for your continued hard work and commitment to delivering the Motability Scheme. Proof of this commitment can be seen throughout the guide from the amounts we paid out in MDP rewards as seen on page 6, to the customer and dealer testimonials. We introduced the Engagement Payment in April 2017 and not only have we paid out over 5 million in awards, dealer performance has also increased. This only goes to highlight your engagement with the Scheme and the focus you ve given to delivering a high level of customer service. You expressed concern about the number of customers who were losing their eligibility to the Scheme because of PIP reassessments. We appreciate this is a challenging time for the customer and also for dealers to handle, however we re pleased to let you know that the new Transitional Support Package has proved popular with a good number of customers choosing to take the extended support. This means they can stay in their car and potentially not have to leave the Scheme if they re successful with an appeal. Our focus has now turned to delivering a new application system which will replace Online Applications. It s being built specifically for the Motability Scheme with input from customers, dealers and people with different disabilities to make sure we deliver a new system that is far more intuitive and easier to use. You ll be hearing a lot from us later in 2018 on this exciting project. Thank you for your continued support. Paul Adler Head of Automotive Relations

Common reasons for missing out on MDP rewards are incorrect vehicle imaging and going over your CDD pass allowance. Improving in small areas like these could mean the difference between hitting your MDP targets or not.

8 8 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Our partnership We re working with you to provide customers with all the service and support they need to select, maintain and return their cars at the end of their lease. Providing worry-free mobility John helped us find the right car. He kept us informed at every step and was throughly professional in every way. Victor Motability Scheme Customer Together, we ll be helping to get people out on the road. To make this as worry-free as possible for customers, our package is comprehensive, including: A choice of new car every three years. Insurance from RSA Motability (RSAM). Full RAC breakdown assistance. Servicing, maintenance and repairs. Tyre and windscreen replacement. Up to two named drivers. Up to a 60,000 mile allowance over three years. A wide range of adaptations, many at no extra cost. The Scheme doesn t include fuel, screen wash or de-icer, optional extras, insurance excesses, parking fines, speeding fines or any damage caused to the car by neglect or abuse.

9 The Motability Dealer Partnership 9 Why work with us? 1 million 600,000 92% renew There are over a million people in the UK who are eligible but have not yet joined the Scheme. We have a fleet of more than 600,000 cars. More than 9/10 of our existing customers who can renew, do. In fact, typically customers stay with us for three leases.

10 10 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Help potential customers enjoy the benefits of the Scheme The Motability Scheme allows hundreds of thousands of disabled people to enjoy the freedom of worry-free motoring. There are still over a million people eligible for the Scheme who have not joined. Many of them are either unaware of the Scheme or know too little about it to make an informed decision to join. Unfortunately, we have no way of communicating the benefits of the Scheme to newly qualified PIP recipients. And that s where you come in. You play a vital role in your local area in creating awareness of the huge benefits that the Scheme offers. You re also in an excellent position to help inform prospective customers about the Scheme so that they can make the right decision for them, their mobility and finances. Promoting the Scheme isn t only good for our customers, it s also good for business. With the potential to earn MDP payments, as well as additional revenue over and above the sale price, it s more than just leasing a car. It s about establishing a relationship with your customer for the next three years and the benefits that come with this, including renewal and referral opportunities once your satisfied customer recommends you to their family, friends and colleagues.

11 The Motability Dealer Partnership 11 How do I engage potential customers? Scheme awareness We believe that every person eligible for the Scheme should be sufficiently informed about Motability. We have a range of support tools for you. Identify their needs With increasing numbers of customers with mental and cognitive conditions qualifying for the Scheme under Personal Independence Payment (PIP), we re seeing a gradual change in the typical profile of our customers. Understanding the needs of our new customer base is crucial to supporting them in selecting the right car for them. Our range of short animations and films are accessible to a wider audience to help you explain the Scheme. Locate them Our mapping tool provides you with valuable insight into the location and vehicle choice of customers due for renewal and prospects within your area of interest. Use this tool to pinpoint potential customers in a smart and targeted way. Attract them to your dealership It s important to get your message across effectively if you re going to attract potential customers to your dealership. Our range of Point of Sale material focuses on the key benefits of the Motability Scheme to help make potential customers aware of what the Scheme offers them. Help them decide whether the Scheme s right for them Our Dealer Resource Centre is full of resources to help you explain the benefits of the Scheme to your potential customers and support them in deciding whether the Scheme s right for them.

17 Our 2018 Partnership 17 Dealer Awards Our Dealer Awards programme rewards the dealerships providing the highest levels of customer service across the dealer network.

You can find Point of Sale material, along with a range of marketing tools and advice at motabilitydealer.co.uk

25 The Supply event 25 What you ll need to do for supply success: Qualify the customer and confirm their Scheme eligibility. Assess if the Scheme and customer s chosen vehicle are suitable for them, their mobility and finances by explaining and completing the Statement of Responsibilities and Suitability Confirmation and by carrying out a test drive. Ensure the customer understands the key features of the contract hire agreement, (including the full financial implications and that they won t own the car) and has read and understood the terms and conditions. Manage customer expectations around delivery times and any delays. Manage vehicle supply with your manufacturer. Accurately submit the application via Online Applications. Register the car correctly. Conduct the handover on your premises. Ensure the PIN is entered by the customer. Safeguard customer data in line with the Data Protection Act. Hold all application documentation for the full length of the agreement. What we mean by treating customers fairly : Keeping the customer s best interests at the heart of everything you do. Providing customers with clear, jargon-free information. Considering customers individual circumstances whenever advising them. Being prepared to take additional time with vulnerable customers. Providing an excellent standard of service. Responding to and resolving customer complaints. Supporting us in resolving any escalated customer complaints.

26 26 A Dealer s Guide 2018 The application An application can only be started and submitted provided either the customer or appointee is present. An application cannot, under any circumstances, be submitted by anyone else. Customer not present adjustment: If you process an application without the customer or appointee present, your Supply reward will be adjusted and the application deleted. Is your customer eligible for the Scheme? Qualifying the customer ensures they are eligible for the Motability Scheme and the vehicle chosen is suitable for both their financial and mobility needs. Before you can start an application, it s important to make sure your customer understands the key features of the contract hire agreement, particularly the financial implications of entering into it and that they will not own the car. The customer must provide you with the following documents for you to check their Scheme eligibility: Award notice or Letter of Entitlement confirming their allowance and length of award. Proof of address a utility bill addressed to the customer dated within the last three months. Driving licences or a nominated driver consent form for all drivers. Dealer Guidelines letter if the customer has been awarded a grant. Personal Independence Payments (PIP) You will not be able to submit an application if your customer has less than 12 months allowance remaining or is currently undergoing a PIP assessment. If a renewing customer is being reassessed for PIP or has less than 12 months allowance remaining, they can request a lease extension on their current car by contacting the Customer Services team on It s important that you select the correct allowance type in Online Applications as the application may be delayed or deleted if this is selected incorrectly.

27 The Supply event 27 To help you assess whether the Scheme and vehicle are suitable for your customer, the following need to be completed for each application: Nominated Driver Consent form: This gives us consent to check the DVLA records of proposed drivers. Statement of Responsibilities and Suitability Confirmation: This is designed to help the customer assess all of their needs and consider their circumstances when selecting the right vehicle for the duration of the lease, as well as assessing the financial implications of entering into a lease. It also highlights the Scheme guidelines and confirms that the customer will abide by these for the duration of the lease. This must be completed by you, the customer and nominated driver (if applicable). Test drive or ride: Every customer should be offered a test drive or ride to make sure the car is comfortable and meets their mobility needs. Some customers may require a home visit to carry out the assessments or test drive. Outstanding form adjustment: The Statement of Responsibilities and Suitability Confirmation is required to show that you have satisfied your FCA regulatory obligation to ensure positive customer outcomes and fair treatment. We are also required to provide the DVLA with the original signed Nominated Driver Consent form for drivers who are not present at the point of application. A 100 adjustment will be applied if you don't send us the Nominated Driver Consent form, or retain the Statement of Responsibilities and Suitability Confirmation for each application. Early termination adjustment: Completing these documents will help you to protect your Supply reward. You can find these forms and other helpful documents in the Document Library tab in Online Applications. Your Supply reward may be adjusted if a customer terminates their contract within three months of handover. Protecting customer data You must take appropriate steps to ensure customer data is safeguarded. Please see the FCA compliance section on page 50 for more details.

28 28 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Scheme policy A Motability Scheme vehicle must only be used for the benefit of the customer. Drivers under 25: Drivers under the age of 25 are not permitted to drive cars that exceed ABI group 16 or 120BHP. Drivers under 21: Only one named driver under 21 is permitted, provided they live at the same address as the customer. Location trackers: Location trackers are fitted to a small number of cars where the potential risk of misuse is highest. This includes customers who live in a residential care home, residential school or nursing home. It may also apply if there are no drivers living with the customer. Non-resident drivers: Applications from customers where neither of the nominated drivers live with them will be reviewed by our Dealer and Customer Support team. Non-UK licences: We only accept non-uk driving licences where the history of the driver can be obtained from their issuing agency. Location tracker adjustment: To protect your Supply reward from an adjustment, where it applies you must only handover a Scheme vehicle to your customer once the location tracker has been fitted. Adaptations Around 9% of our customers require adaptations to their vehicle and we pay you 25 for every car supplied with Motability Managed adaptations. For more information about adaptations, please see Your Supply Guide at motabilitydealer.co.uk

29 The Supply event 29 Submitting the application When processing the application through Online Applications, you must ensure: The customer or legal appointee is present. Customer and driver details are correct. For step by step guidance on completing and submitting an application, please see Your Supply Guide at motabilitydealer.co.uk Key dates: Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) The date that you estimate the car will be ready for the customer. A realistic EDD allows you to manage your customer s expectations. Confirmed Delivery Date (CDD) The date that you plan to handover the customer s car. This is required for all applications, even if it s the same as the EDD.

30 30 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Confirmed Delivery Date Once you ve ordered the car and agreed the handover date with your customer, you will need to enter the Confirmed Delivery Date (CDD). The CDD helps you manage a customer s expectations for the delivery of their car. For renewing customers, it will trigger a lease extension to their current agreement until their new car is ready for delivery. The four day rule You must enter the CDD at least four days (including weekends and bank holidays) in advance of the date you intend to handover the car. You can change the CDD outside of the four days without incurring an adjustment. Click: You enter the Confirmed Delivery Date into Online Applications. Car: The earliest date the new car can be handed over. MON TUES WEDS THURS FRI SAT SUN CLICK CAR Free passes We understand that you will occasionally need to make a last minute change to the CDD because of a change in your customer s situation. To accommodate this, we provide you with free passes which allow you to change the CDD within the four days without adjustment. You can view your used and remaining passes on your dealer dashboard at motabilitydealer.co.uk Free passes at end of quarter Free passes are processed once an application has gone live. If you use a free pass to handover a car in the last week of the quarter, the free pass may be taken from your next quarter s allowance once the agreement is live. CDD adjustment: If you ve entered an incorrect CDD or if you need to change the CDD within the four days and you ve exceeded your free passes, your Supply reward will be adjusted.

31 The Supply event 31 Registering the car Registering a Scheme vehicle is an important part of the Supply event. Follow these steps to avoid adjustment: Register cars to either the customer s or appointee s correct address never a Motability address or in a minor s name. Enter the Motability Operations fleet code This informs the DVLA the vehicle is on our Fleet and ensures registration documents will be sent to us so that we can tax the car annually. We recommend that you register the car on the date of handover to avoid deregistration in the event of a customer cancellation (but it can be done up to 14 days in advance). Registration adjustments: - 50 When vehicle registration isn t carried out correctly, we apply a 50 adjustment. Adjustments could be applied for: Incorrect registration number either on the V5 or Online Applications. Omitting Motability fleet code Incorrect customer details. Registering the vehicle to us. For more information about correctly registering and taxing a Motability vehicle, please see Your Supply Guide and your quick reference guide to Registering and Taxing a Vehicle, both available at motabilitydealer.co.uk Pre-registration adjustment: -3% Advance registration (up to 14 days before handover) doesn t apply at year end or plate change. If a vehicle is pre-registered, your Supply reward will be adjusted by 3% of the basic price of the car. A car with adaptations is excluded from this adjustment, as it must be registered before any adaptations are fitted in order to comply with Type Approval regulations.

32 32 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Handover Handover is a key part of the Supply event. To help it go smoothly, make sure you do the following: Conduct the handover on your premises. My Motability Specialist was just great. She helped me through each step of the process. Sam Motability Scheme Customer Check the car with your customer to make sure it s the one they ordered. Explain the controls, features and equipment. Collect payment from your customer for additional costs if applicable, i.e. Advance Payment, optional extras and adaptations. Make sure your customer understands what a contract hire agreement is, is clear on the key features (particularly the financial implications of entering into it and that they will not own the car) and has read and understood the terms and conditions. Make sure the customer has picked a vehicle that suits both their mobility and financial needs. Confirm that the customer has received and understood all handover documents and pre-contract information. (These are detailed in the PIN entry and Application Submission screen in Online Applications.) Make sure the customer understands the insurance key facts and confirms their named drivers. Ensure the PIN is entered by your customer or their appointee. Provide the customer with the e-signed copy of the agreement, Insurance Cover Note and a Motability Welcome Pack. PIN entry The PIN serves as the customer s signature and acceptance of the terms and conditions of the agreement. Under no circumstances must the PIN be entered by anyone other than the customer or appointee. Legal agreement adjustment: The agreement will not be legally binding if: the car is not handed over on trade premises the PIN is not entered, or retrieved, by either the customer or appointee

36 36 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Global adjustment for upsell: 20% If your service, maintenance and repair activity is significantly higher than the national or franchise average, an adjustment of 20% may be applied to your quarterly MDP reward. We reserve the right to withhold MDP payments for dealers whose service, maintenance and repair activity is significantly higher than the national or franchise average for two or more consecutive quarters. We always aim to provide high levels of customer service, which also means we hit our MDP targets every quarter. Kelly Sales Specialist I would like to praise the excellent service I have received from my Motability dealer over the last nine years. Charles Motability Customer

38 38 A Dealer s Guide 2018 The End of Contract event Successfully manage the return of a Motability car and we ll reward you for a job well done: at the end of contract: 75 or as a result of an early termination: 100 The Scheme in ,000 End of Contract events carried out 13.2m Earned in rewards 76% Overall payout Missing images and late MOTs were the main areas of End of Contract adjustment.

39 The End of Contract event 39 Your End of Contract actions for: Early termination vehicles Receipt vehicle using Online Applications within 24 hours of handback. Submit handback Vehicle Condition Description (VCD) through Online Applications. Submit vehicle image within four days of handback VCD. Wash, vacuum and safely store vehicle for collection. Full term vehicles Transact a valid MOT. Submit MOT VCD through Epyx 1link. Check for any manufacturer product safety recalls and, if applicable, make sure outstanding repairs are carried out.

For more information about making the release and collection of Scheme vehicles after handback as smooth as possible, please see Your End of Contract Guide at motabilitydealer.co.uk

40 40 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Early terminations Personal Independence Payment (PIP) reassessments will continue and we expect the number of early terminated Scheme cars being returned to remain high throughout the year. This can present a challenge to you and your customer and, as such, we re continuing to focus on early terminations and how best to support customers during this difficult time. Processing the handback of early terminating vehicles through Online Applications as early as possible is really important for you and your customer. In the case of stopped allowances, your customer s transitional support payment won t be paid to them until you ve receipted their car in Online Applications. For many customers, this payment is vital in keeping them mobile after they leave the Scheme, so it s important that we pay it to them as quickly as possible. Until you ve receipted the car back in through Online Applications and sent us an image, we won t be able to arrange for it to be collected. Any delays in processing the handback will result in the car taking up valuable parking on your premises. The earlier we have a handback VCD and vehicle image, the quicker we can put the car up for sale on mfldirect.co.uk, giving you an earlier opportunity to buy it back for your used car fleet. For more information about vehicle remarketing and Get Your Own Back, please see Your End of Contract Guide at motabilitydealer.co.uk We will continue to pay 100 for End of Contract events from early terminations in The Motability Dealer Partnership will be reviewed regularly and Motability Operations Ltd reserves the right to amend the programme to ensure it remains fit for purpose.

41 The End of Contract event 41 Looking after customers Many customers who leave the Scheme look for an alternative mobility solution and, more often than not, a used car. If they re happy with the service they ve received from you, they re more likely to consider buying a car from you if it suits their mobility needs and financial situation. Why not sensitively talk to your customer who is returning their car to you about their plans for keeping themselves mobile. Getting your customer home For customers with stopped allowances, handback day can be really tough. It s important that you discuss your customer s plans for getting home once they ve handed back their car and make every effort to help them with suitable arrangements. Managing early terminated cars We strongly recommend that you assign one Specialist to deal with all early terminated cars to help make sure you maximise every opportunity to earn your 100 End of Contract reward. PIP Transitional Support Packages Customers who lose their allowance are being provided with a Transitional Support Package. The package is designed to help people stay mobile and means any customers leaving the Scheme will benefit from a payment that could help them secure alternative transport. To support these customers with financial and practical help to find alternative ways to keep mobile, we offer Transitional Support Packages. These consist of: A Transitional Support Payment as shown below: Joined Scheme before 2013 Joined Scheme in 2013 Joined Scheme after 2013 Return car within 8 weeks of DWP payments ending Return car within 26 weeks of DWP payments ending 2,000 1, The opportunity to buy the current Scheme car at a fair market price. A claims history letter along with the details of a broker of insurers. An information pack on all the future options.

43 The End of Contract event 43 Extra opportunities The End of Contract event is a great time to work together to create more opportunities for your dealership. Let Sales colleagues know when a car is at end of contract MOT stage and give them an early opportunity to discuss a customer s next car and arrange a showroom visit or demonstration. Why not also let used car sales colleagues know so they can take advantage of our Get Your Own Back (GYOB) reward and purchase the vehicle as soon as it s available on mfldirect.co.uk Vehicle Condition Description (VCD) The VCD is a crucial step in helping us understand the condition of the vehicle prior to resale. It also gives you confidence when buying back your own, and other, Motability Scheme cars through our remarketing website mfldirect.co.uk To complete your VCD and earn your End of Contract reward: For a full term car: 75 An accurate VCD must be submitted along with a pass MOT through Epyx 1link no later than 14 days before the end of contract date.

44 44 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Carrying out a VCD VCD forms are available in the Document Library in Online Applications. VCD at MOT stage A trained Motability Aftersales Specialist or VCD trained technician must complete the VCD. VCDs must be conducted at the time of the MOT and within the MOT window. The VCD should reflect the condition of the car after any rectification to allow a pass MOT, and following a complimentary wash and vacuum. Once complete, transfer the information from the paper copy to Epyx 1link along with the MOT transaction, ensuring details are correct. In addition to payment for the MOT, a further payment equivalent to 0.3 hours is made for the combined MOT VCD and digital image submission. VCD at handback, new application and early terminations A trained Motability Sales or Aftersales Specialist or VCD trained technician must complete this VCD. The car s exterior must be sufficiently clean to allow an accurate description. Once complete, transfer information from the paper copy to Online Applications, ensuring the details are correct.

45 The End of Contract event 45 Vehicle imaging Taking a usable vehicle image is an important part of the End of Contract event and helps you earn your reward. Why it s important We use these vehicle images to sell Motability Scheme cars back to you and other UK dealers through mfldirect.co.uk. You could even end up using them to market the car yourself, so it s important they re taken right. Getting your image right The camera s date function is off Take your image after the complimentary wash and vacuum from the driver s side corner showing the offside and front. If there is damage to this side, the photo can be taken from the other side. Make sure: There are minimal background distractions and reflections The photo is taken as landscape rather than portrait if using a phone, turn it 90 degrees to the left to make sure the image comes to us the right way round No one s in the car or in the background We can t see any other cars and company logos We can clearly see the car wheels and trims We can clearly see the car registration number

46 46 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Sending us your image Once you ve taken the image, it to carphotos@motabilityoperations.co.uk using the vehicle registration number as the subject. We recommend you take and submit the vehicle image on the same day you transact and submit the VCD, but we ll need it: Within seven days of transacting the MOT and VCD for full term expiry cars. Within four days of the handback VCD in the case of early terminations. Once submitted you ll receive two s from us: a receipt which you should keep for your records and an letting you know if your photo has been accepted.

48 48 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Global adjustments Global adjustments are a reduction to the total potential MDP reward available to your dealership. We apply these to reflect the importance of meeting our standards. These include: Customer service standards. Training standards. Service and MOT standards. These adjustments are applied to the total quarterly reward value before event-based adjustments are made. If it wasn t for this wonderful Scheme I fear I would not only be completely housebound, but a different person altogether. Laura Motability Customer

49 Global adjustments 49 Customer service standards Our customers are at the heart of what we do and our priority is to provide them with excellent service underpinned by quality and choice. We are committed to ensuring our customers want to stay with the Scheme and recommend us to their families, friends and colleagues. We work hard to make sure our services are delivered with clarity and transparency, and that customers are kept informed clearly and fairly throughout their lease. As a Motability dealer, you re a key partner in delivering outstanding service to our mutual customers and we rely on you to keep our customers satisfied in all their interactions with the Scheme. What does excellent customer service look like? A key aspect of outstanding customer service is treating customers fairly. Practically, what this means for you is: Keeping the customer s best interests at the heart of everything you do. Providing customers with clear, jargon free information. Considering customers individual circumstances whenever advising them. Being prepared to take additional time with vulnerable customers. Providing an excellent standard of service. Responding to and resolving customer complaints, without putting in place any unreasonable barriers for customers wishing to make a complaint. Supporting us in resolving any escalated customer complaints. The Scheme can really make a difference to people s lives and we re proud to be part of that difference. John Aftersales Specialist

50 50 A Dealer s Guide 2018 FCA compliance Keeping conduct and service high Like all dealerships, we're regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). FCA regulation is all about making sure customers are treated fairly and that the processes and procedures we have in place when dealing with them produce fair outcomes. To make sure we can show that together we re treating our customers fairly, there are a number of actions we require our Premier Partners to complete. Because our compliance with FCA regulation is vital, failing to meet these requirements will impact your ability to supply Motability cars and our ability to pay your MDP rewards each quarter. Under FCA regulation, we re required to: Make sure only trained Specialists submit customer applications and manage our Motability customers. Carry out specific activities during the Supply event. Treat customers fairly and ensure positive customer outcomes. Confirm the status of your FCA credit broking authorisation (FCA authorisation). What this means for our Premier Partners: Training compliance To provide outstanding customer service, any dealer looking after our customers must be knowledgeable about the Scheme and be disability confident. Because Motability training plays such a big role in ensuring our customers needs are met and our processes adhered to, each dealership must have at least two trained Sales Specialists and two trained Aftersales Specialists. Dealerships who fail to meet these training standards will not be able to supply Motability Scheme cars until training standards are met and will incur a 20% adjustment to their quarterly MDP reward. For more information about our training standards, please see page 54. Keeping documentation Make sure you retain all application documentation for the full length of the agreement, including the Statement of Responsibilities and Suitability Confirmation. You ll need this in the event of an audit to show that Scheme and vehicle suitability were considered as part of the Supply event.

51 Global adjustments 51 Supplying Scheme vehicles We rely on you to carry out key activities required during the Supply event to make sure that together we meet FCA regulations. Steps such as completing the Statement of Responsibilities and Suitability Confirmation with your customer help to make sure they understand the financial implications of taking out a contract hire agreement and that they can make an informed decision about joining the Scheme. Demonstrating fair treatment of customers throughout their journey You must be able to show how customers are treated fairly and demonstrate how you deliver positive outcomes for them. You must make sure that our customers don t face unreasonable barriers to make a complaint or change products. You re required to respond to and resolve customer complaints in accordance with FCA requirements and support us in cases where a customer escalates their complaint. Confirming your FCA authorisation We ll ask you to confirm the status of your dealership s FCA authorisation once a year. Failure to comply We re committed to working with you to help you meet our obligations under FCA regulations. We encourage you to talk to your Dealer Development Manager if you have any concerns about your ability to comply with any of these activities. Failure to comply with FCA regulations could result in: Your ability to supply cars to the Scheme suspended. MDP adjustment. MDP quarterly payments withheld. Exclusion from Motability Dealer Partnership programme. For more practical guidance about each of these areas, please see our Treating Customers Fairly Regulatory Compliance Guide at motabilitydealer.co.uk

52 52 A Dealer s Guide 2018 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) What does it mean for our Dealers? From 25 May 2018, the new GDPR legislation will impact how Scheme customer data you hold, or may collect and process in the future is used in managing our mutual customers. You should be aware of the following key points as you consider the wider requirements of GDPR within your organisations. Ensure the minimum amount of data is collected to provide our service This means that only data that is needed to manage the customer through the lifecycle of their contract hire agreement should be collected. Ensure that the appropriate consents are obtained Dealers are specifically referenced within the contract hire terms and conditions, to enable both Motability Operations Ltd and our dealers to fulfil the obligations under the customer agreement, including support and maintenance services, MOTs, facilitating the handback of the Scheme vehicle and providing information on obtaining a further Scheme vehicle. If you want to contact customers for marketing purposes, not linked to the Scheme, you will need to obtain separate clear, unambiguous and informed consent from the customer to enable you to do this. We would encourage our Dealer Network to proactively seek to obtain customer consent for marketing purposes whether these relate to the Scheme or otherwise. Don t keep Scheme customer details for longer than necessary It is relevant for you to hold customer details to support you in managing the customer s contract, or to meet any of your businesses legal or regulatory obligations. Once the purposes have been met, you should ensure that you have appropriate operational and procedural processes in place to ensure that the customer data is destroyed. For more information about GDPR, look out for our updated Regulatory Compliance Guide available from Spring 2018 at motabilitydealer.co.uk

53 Global adjustments 53 Complaints Whilst together we strive for outstanding customer service, we know that sometimes things can go wrong. Part of our commitment to treating customers fairly involves making sure that our customers don t face unreasonable barriers to make a complaint or change products. You re required to respond to and resolve customer complaints, either directly or in some circumstances through us, in accordance with FCA requirements and support us in cases where a customer escalates their complaint. Often, by the time a complaint has been escalated to us, the customer s perception of your dealership has already been affected. If a complaint is made, in the first instance you still have the opportunity to provide a satisfactory and timely resolution to your customer and win back their loyalty, retaining their custom. Escalated complaints Where a complaint is escalated to us, we ll consider and investigate it carefully to ensure the fairest outcome. As a dealer partner we require that you work with us to resolve any complaints in a timely manner. Any barriers that we face in trying to work with you to resolve a complaint may result in the complaint being upheld and an adjustment applied to your MDP reward. To make sure that our customers are being treated fairly and that we address any areas for improvement, we monitor all complaints. If we perceive you to have a high number of complaints, we ll work with you to make sure adequate steps are being taken to address our concerns. Complaints adjustment: at least If we uphold a complaint against you, this may result in an adjustment to your quarterly MDP payment. The standard adjustment is 100; however, in certain circumstances, we may apply a larger financial penalty to reflect costs incurred by our customers and Motability Operations Ltd. Good to know Any adjustment reversals will be shown under the Complaints tab on your dealer dashboard. A reminder will appear on the Summary tab.

54 54 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Motability training Motability Specialist training is vital to delivering the Scheme well.

56 56 A Dealer s Guide 2018 Service and MOT standards You re responsible for maintaining Scheme cars in line with manufacturers recommendations. All service and maintenance work you do must be needed and appropriately authorised using Epyx 1link.
