To facilitate the social lives and mobility of people with disabilities, the state provides the right to purchase vehicles exempt from Special Consumption Tax (ÖTV). Below are the updated details for 2025 regarding vehicle purchases with a disability report: eligibility, requirements, necessary documents, and the types of vehicles that can be obtained.
Conditions for Purchasing a Vehicle with a Disability Report (2025)
The main conditions for purchasing a new vehicle using a disability report in 2025 are:
- You must have at least a 40% disability rate.
- The health board report must state “able to obtain a driver’s license”.
- If the disability rate is 90% or higher, there is no requirement for a driver’s license or special equipment.
- The vehicle’s total on-the-road price, including taxes, must not exceed 2,290,200 TL.
- Engine displacement must not exceed 1.6 liters (1600 cc).
Individuals who meet these conditions can purchase a new vehicle without paying ÖTV.
Requirements for Purchasing with a 40% Disability Report
For persons with a disability rate between 40% and 89%:
- The health report must include the phrase “can drive a vehicle with adaptations”.
- The vehicle must be fitted with special adaptations appropriate to the disability.
- The adapted vehicle may be used only by the registered person with the disability.
Using an unadapted vehicle or allowing others to drive the adapted vehicle constitutes a legal violation.
Requirements for Purchasing with a 90% or Higher Disability Report
Conditions are more flexible for individuals with a 90% or higher disability rate:
- No driver’s license is required.
- No vehicle adaptations are necessary.
- Anyone may drive the vehicle; no family relation is required.
- For individuals under 18, the purchase is made through a guardian or legal representative.
Those in this category can acquire a vehicle with full ÖTV exemption.
2025 ÖTV-Exempt Vehicle Purchase Limits and Conditions
- Maximum Price: 2,290,200 TL (total on-the-road price including taxes)
- Engine Displacement Limit: Maximum 1600 cc (1.6 liters)
- Vehicle Type: Only brand-new vehicles qualify (ÖTV exemption does not apply to used cars).
Dealer option packages or additional accessories included by the dealer may push the price above the limit, so check the final on-the-road price carefully.
