Nissan UK Provides Free Vehicles to Healthcare Workers
Although medical workers always work hard to keep everyone safe and healthy, during these unprecedented times they’re facing a massive amount of strain. Nissan U.K. seeks to lighten some of that burden by offering over 100 free vehicles to National Health Service workers.

Nissan U.K. brought together over 30 dealers to donate vehicles to support frontline healthcare workers. These included popular models like the Micra, Qashqai, Juke, and LEAF. Before being donated, these vehicles served as courtesy shuttles and test-drive models.
Nissan really thought of everything to make this act of charity run as smoothly as possible. Every donated model will come with free insurance and roadside assistance service. Plus, LEAF recipients won’t need to worry about finding a charging station — the donors are even providing free access to a charging station.
To receive a vehicle, an NHS worker needs to be at least 25 years old and have a clean driving record. To register for a chance at one of these models, interested NHS workers should fill out a form on the Nissan U.K. website. Since there’s a finite number of vehicles available, the automaker encourages the neediest drivers to apply quickly. You’ll be contacted if you’re within a 20-mile radius of a donor with an available vehicle.

Nissan’s efforts to support critical workers
This isn’t Nissan’s only show of support for frontline workers serving during this time of crisis. Previously, the automaker extended free roadside assistance services for key workers — even if their vehicles are outside of the typical mileage and warranty limits. Available services include roadside repairs and towing to the nearest Nissan dealership service center.
In addition to providing roadside assistance, Nissan is also working hard to produce personal protective equipment for healthcare providers. Currently, the Sunderland plant is slated to provide 100,000 face visors per week to frontline NHS workers.
