Carwow has announced a partnership with Purpl, a membership scheme for disabled individuals, offering exclusive benefits and discounts.

This collaboration aims to provide Purpl members with an additional £115 ($157) in Amazon vouchers when they use Carwow’s ‘Sell My Car’ service.

In the UK, the disabled community, which comprises 16.1 million individuals, faces additional living costs averaging £1,010 a month.

With 60% of disabled adults holding a driving licence, accessible and equitable vehicle selling options are essential. Carwow’s service has facilitated the sale of more than 230,000 vehicles, with sellers typically earning £1,000 more than part exchange valuations.

Carwow’s selling process is designed for simplicity and transparency, offering instant, free car valuations and connecting sellers with a vast network of over 5,500 dealers through online auctions. The partnership with Purpl ensures members receive a swift and profitable car-selling experience, along with the bonus of a £115 Amazon voucher.

Carwow chief commercial officer Sally Foote said: “We’re really pleased to be working with Purpl, delivering extra value to disabled drivers looking to change their cars. Selling a car should be simple and stress-free. We understand the independence that driving can bring, and we’re glad to give Purple members an additional boost to their everyday budgets.”

Carwow said more than 12 million customers have used it to buy or sell their car. Nearly £3bn worth of cars were bought on the company’s site last year while £1.8bn of cars were listed for sale via its Sell My Car service.

Purpl’s founder Georgina Colman expressed her pride in the partnership: “I’m so proud that we’ve been able to partner with Carwow to bring this exclusive deal to the disabled community. When I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I had to adjust to a new lifestyle, and driving was vital to my independence.

“I know firsthand that mobility needs can change in an instant, and not all disabled people are eligible for Motability, so it’s important to be able to buy or sell cars as needed. This offer not only helps our members get the best price for their car but also puts an extra £115 in their pocket – a small but hopefully meaningful contribution towards the higher cost of living that disabled people face every day.”
