What is a mobility scooter?

A mobility scooter is a scooter, with at least three wheels, that is equipped to transport the disabled. A mobility scooter usually does not go faster than 15 km/h. The range, depending on brand and type, is usually between 30 and 60 km.

A mobility scooter can be open or have an enclosed body.

Is insurance for a mobility scooter compulsory?

If you have a mobility scooter in your name, you also have an insurance obligation. The moment the mobility scooter enters public roads, it must be insured. But the obligation is broader. Even if you use the motor vehicle off public roads, the insurance obligation exists. If you do not insure your mobility scooter, you can be fined for driving around uninsured. In a collision with an uninsured mobility scooter, a bigger problem arises. This is because the damage caused cannot be recovered from an insurer. It is therefore mandatory to insure a mobility scooter.

When to insure a mobility scooter?

Before you can drive a mobility scooter, you must arrange for insurance. There are rules that must be met when insuring.

If the mobility scooter goes faster than 10 kilometers per hour, you must be at least 16 years old. Does the vehicle go slower? Then there is no minimum age requirement. No driver's license is required to drive the vehicle.

How can you insure a mobility scooter?

A mobility scooter does not have a license plate. That does not mean that there is no insurance requirement. After taking out insurance, the insurer will give you an insurance plate. You are obliged to mount this on the back of the mobility scooter. This shows that the vehicle is insured. You will receive a new insurance plate every year.

Which form of insurance do you choose?

In addition to the mandatory WA mobility scooter insurance, you have a choice of two more comprehensive coverages:

Few insurers offer insurance for the mobility scooter. Third-party liability (TPL) insurance is mandatory. Especially for a new mobility scooter and for older vehicles with a high daily value, the WA insurance is too limited. For these motor vehicles you can also choose WA-casco(all-risk). The WA-casco(or all-risk) offers the most extensive coverage and reimburses almost all damages.

When do you take out insurance?

Before using a mobility scooter, you are required to mount the insurance plate on the mobility scooter. This is provided by the insurer after taking out mobility scooter insurance. Only then is the vehicle insured. In an accident without insurance, not only are you at fault, you must be able to pay for the damage yourself.

When am I insured?

Unlike most other insurance policies, you take out mobility scooter insurance until May 1 of each year. Mobility scooter insurance always runs from May 1 to May 1 the following year. If you don't take out insurance on May 1, then the premium will be pro-rated. That means this is a premium from the effective date of the insurance until May 1.

When you take out insurance online, you do not yet have immediate coverage. You are not yet allowed to drive the vehicle. After acceptance by the insurance company, you will receive the insurance sticker by mail. Once you have received it and stuck it on the vehicle, you can drive it on public roads.

Frequently asked questions about mobility scooter insurance

You will receive this insurance plate or sticker from the insurance company, once they have accepted the application and made out the policy.

Can other people ride on my mobility scooter?

When applying for insurance, you specify the driver. If someone else was driving in the event of a claim, this may affect claims payments. The insurer will assess this on a case-by-case basis.

If you sell the mobility scooter to someone, they may not ride with your insurance plate. This person must apply for new insurance for the mobility scooter themselves.

Should the insurance be terminated within the year, you will of course receive a refund of excess premium paid.

Will I get back the premium paid in advance if I cancel the insurance within the year?
