FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT
Mobility Scooter Insurance
Does my mobility scooter need to be registered 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 call or email our customer service team on 01268 200020 / [email protected]
