We are proud to have insured more than 140,000 mobility scooters over the years, and many of our customers have also taken out additional breakdown recovery. In this short guide, we will talk you through what it is, why it matters, and how to get it.
Who Needs Breakdown Recovery?
We strongly advise that every mobility scooter user has breakdown recovery in place as part of their insurance policy. Just as with any other type of roadworthy vehicle, having a policy in place that will provide timely assistance can make all the difference.
While breakdown recovery may not be a legal requirement, it is one that is highly recommended. Being able to get home safely and quickly in the event of a breakdown will also help increase your sense of independence.
The Pros Of Breakdown Recovery
Breakdown recovery is a pragmatic solution to a potential future issue. Our happy customers have ranked us as the highest-rated provider on TrustPilot and regularly cite the following benefits:
- Greater peace of mind because you know that help will always be available when you need it
- Clear cost savings because professional recovery eliminates the potential of causing further damage to your scooter
- A caring and compassionate approach that offers expert help when needed so that you can get home safely
If you want to feel more independent and confident when going out in your local community, breakdown recovery is an invaluable add on to have.
