  • -
    Do I need to have Mobility Scooter Insurance?
    No, there is no law that states you must have mobility scooter insurance. Many people do opt to take out insurance to protect themselves against 3rd Party Claims (if you injure someone or damage someone’s property) and to protect against theft or accidental damage to their scooters, but it is not compulsory or a legal requirement.
  • -
    Can use my scooter on the road?
    There are two different types of Scooters, Class 2 Scooters that go up to 4mph and Class 3 Scooters that go between 4mph and 8mph. The Class 3 scooters can go on the road and have to be registered with the DVLA. You can find more information on the government website, www.gov.uk and typing ‘invalid carriage’ into the search bar.

    You do not need take a test or have a driving license to use a mobility scooter.

    Can you insure me if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
    Our policy states that “You must ensure that you or any friend using the scooter or wheelchair are capable of doing so safely” If you have been advised by a medical practitioner that you shouldn’t be using a mobility scooter then it could invalidate a claim. There are very few regulations around mobility scooter safety, but you can find some guidelines online on the government website, www.gov.uk and typing ‘invalid carriage’ into the search bar. (www.gov.uk/mobility-scooters-and-powered-wheelchairs-rules). There is no legal eyesight requirement to drive mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs, but you should be able to read a car’s registration number from a distance of 12.3 metres (40 feet).
  • -
    Can you advise me what cover I need?
    We are not able to provide advice about what cover you need, we can only explain what is in our policy and what is covered, and answer any questions you may have. We are happy to send you a copy of our policy documents so you can read through the policy and see if it meets your needs. If you opt to take out the policy and then change your mind, or decide the cover doesn’t meet your needs, you will have a 14 day cooling off period where you can cancel the policy and get a full refund.

    I’ve got a manual wheelchair with powered wheels/powered attachment, can you insure it?

The wheelchair will be covered for using both with and without the wheels/attachment. *(PLEASE NOTE – WE CANNOT INSURE THE BATEC ELECTRIC OR THE BATEC RAPID ATTACHMENTS DUE TO THEIR TOP SPEEDS)*

  • -
    I’m going to be renting a scooter, can you insure it?
    We can insure rented scooters, but we only offer an annual policy, we don’t offer any short term insurance, so you would need to purchase a policy for the year.

  • -
    My scooter is over 2 years old, if it’s stolen will you give me a new one?
    We offer a New for Old Replacement, up until the scooter is 2 years old. Once the scooter is over 2 years old, we would then do a like for like replacement, so in the event that your scooter was stolen or written off, our claims team would look to replace your scooter with one of a similar age, make and model to the one you currently have.
  • -
    Who do I call for the recovery service?
    You can call the Recovery Service on 01730 233 101 and press option 3. This will take you straight through to the 24/7 Helpline at National Breakdown. You should receive a sticker with your documents that will have this phone number on.

    The recovery team will aim to get to your location within 1 hour, but as a mobility user you do get their top priority on their call outs.

In the event that you needed to go further than 20 miles, they can do this, but there would be an additional charge per mile that you would need to pay directly to National Breakdown, as it would not be included in your breakdown cover.
  • -
    Is there a maximum number of times I can use the recovery service?
    Yes in our breakdown cover, the recovery is limited to 4 call outs per year.
  • -
    Will the recovery service take dogs?
    Yes, but it is at the discretion of the driver so you will need to advise National Breakdown that you will need transport for a pet too.
  • -
    Do I have to use National Breakdown?
    No, we provide you with National Breakdown, who have a 24/7 helpline for you to use, however if you wish to use an alternative company you may do so, but you would need to pay the alternative company for their services and then claim the money back from us. (Maximum of £100 per claim).
  • -
    I can’t travel in the recovery vehicle, what happens then?
    If you are unable to travel in the recovery vehicle then a taxi can be arranged for you. If you are not easily able to transfer from your scooter/wheelchair into a taxi, then a wheelchair accessible vehicle can be arranged for you, but you would need to let the recovery team know this when you call to request assistance.
