Mobility Scooter Insurance

Do I need to register my mobility scooter with the DVLA?

You will need to register your mobility scooter with the DVLA if it is a Class 3 scooter and has a maximum speed of 8mph. You will then be issued with a tax disc (this is ‘nil duty’ which means you don’t have to pay road tax), the law changed in October 2014, and it is no longer a legal requirement for you to display this on your mobility scooter.

If the DVLA asks you to inform your insurer of the registration number, we can add this to the notes on your policy. To do this, please email [email protected] with your policy number and registration number so we can update your policy or call our customer service team on 01268 200020 between 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Thursday and 09:00 to 16:00 Friday.
