How Much Do Hand Controls for Cars Cost? 2024 Pricing Guide
Hand Controls are specifically designed adaptations that transfer the function of acceleration and braking from foot to hand. Enabling those who are unable to operate the standard foot pedals, be that because of amputation or limited mobility, to retain their independence behind the wheel.
If you’re researching how much hand controls for cars cost, what different types are available, pricing breakdown and funding options, we’ve got you covered in this guide.
Types of Hand Controls
Our range isn’t just ‘one size fits all’, we offer a variety of different hand controls which have different grip shapes, range of acceleration and secondary function switches to suit varying levels of dexterity and individual needs.
Mechanical Push/Pull Hand Controls

Mechanical Push/Pull Accelerator & Brake
The most popular type of hand controls are the Mechanical Push/Pull Hand Controls and as the name would suggest they simply transfer the functions to push to brake and pull to accelerate. Multiple handle versions are available including options with indicators and secondary controls.
Electronic Hand Controls

Floor Mounted Electronic Accelerator & Mechanical Push Brake
Electronic Hand Controls offer a light-pull electronic acceleration whilst braking remains mechanical. They provide a fatigue-free improvement to a mechanical pull accelerator and is typically a natural next step for those who have driven with mechanical hand controls before. Again, we have various styles available to offer a choice of grips shapes and indicator options.
Electronic Ring Accelerators

Electronic Removable Over Ring
An Electronic Ring Accelerator is fitted over the steering wheel and provides an alternative style of accelerating. Requiring very little strength to operate, ideal for those with limited hand dexterity, it offers the driver that familiar feeling of driving in a natural position with both hands on the steering wheel. This can be used on its own or paired with a mechanical push brake handle to transfer all functions from foot to hand.

Factors Affecting Price
As mentioned above, there are various factors that impact the cost of hand controls such as:
Vehicle Compatibility
As well as determining the exact style of hand control to suit your usability requirements, we also need to factor in vehicle compatibility. Specific mounting points, such as floor mounted or column mounted, and fitting instructions will need to be checked based on the vehicle you have to ensure we recommend the correct hand controls.
Complexity of Installation
All our prices are inclusive of labour costs and fitting times. Typically Electronic Hand Controls will cost more due to the specialist installation required to tap into the vehicle’s electrics.
Indicator and Secondary Control Add-ons
Most hand controls within our range have multiple versions available to add-on indicator switches or secondary control functions (such as lights and wipers). These are popular as it allows the driver to easily operate the indicators and other vehicle functions, all from the hand control device rather than having to take their hands off to do so.
Brand and Quality
Like with any product, prices do vary slightly based on the different hand control brands. This is due to their specific manufacturing, design and testing processes as well as materials used etc. At Mobility in Motion, we only supply hand controls from trusted, reputable manufacturers such as Brig-Ayd Controls, BraunAbility and Veigel to ensure safety and reliability.
Funding Options
You can purchase hand controls directly through us where we provide the complete service from assessment, install and after-care. But there is also some financial assistance available to purchase your hand controls if required:
Motability Scheme
The Motability Scheme is the most notable Government initiative which provides funding for hand controls and various other vehicle adaptations. The Scheme enables disabled people to exchange their mobility allowance to lease a new car and subsequently any adaptations required to make it accessible to your needs.
Charity Grants
It’s possible that you may qualify for a grant or funding for your hand controls from a relevant charity. Visit Charity Choice UK to find a charity relevant to your specific need or disability and they will be able to advise you further.
Insurance Coverage
We also recommend checking with your car insurer to see if they provide cover for your hand controls and adaptations, to ensure you do not have to foot the bill in the case of an accident or theft.
