If your business provides mobility scooters for hire, Surewise provides tailored insurance to cover rented mobility scooters.
Whether your customers are renting for a few days or an extended period, our mobility scooter hire insurance is designed to keep your customers and the mobility scooter fully protected throughout any rental period.
Why Choose Mobility Scooter Hire Insurance?
Mobility scooters can be a substantial financial commitment, and renting one can be a smart alternative for prospective buyers —especially if they only need a scooter for short-term use or are trying out a scooter before purchasing.
When hiring out mobility scooters, you want the peace of mind that your scooters are covered when they’re in use – so they can go on to the next customer without issue.
- Peace of Mind: Feel confident hiring your scooters, knowing they – and their riders – are covered for unexpected events.
- Cost Savings: Avoid costly repair or replacement charges that may be included for uninsured scooters when used on a regular basis.
- Convenient Support: Access recovery services and support designed specifically for rented scooters, from 24/7 recovery to theft & vandalism cover.
Although mobility scooter insurance is not a legal requirement in the UK, many mobility scooter hire companies may want to have insurance in place for customers as standard.
Having this cover in place protects your hired-out mobility scooter – but it also protects you as a business should something happen to the scooters you rent out.
What’s Included in Surewise Mobility Scooter Hire Insurance
Our mobility scooter hire insurance offers comprehensive cover to protect both you, your customers, and your mobility scooters in various situations:
- Third Party Liability
Financial protection (up to £2m) if you’re considered responsible for damages or injury to another person or their property.
- Loss or Damage
You’re covered against accidental damage, vandalism, theft, and malicious damage. This cover also includes damage caused by fire, storms, and flooding. - Recovery Costs or 24/7 Recovery Service
In the event of an insured incident, we provide up to £150 per claim for recovery costs. Alternatively, with our 24/7 Recovery Service, we can recover your scooter within a 20-mile radius of your home, holiday accommodation, or vehicle.
- Personal Accident and Legal Expenses
Should an accident result in hospitalisation, you can claim up to £10 per day under personal accident cover.
- Additional Extras
Our policy includes extras such as cover for your scooter when locked in your car or secured outside a shop (for up to 1 hour). Optional add-ons include key cover, puncture care, and extended 24/7 recovery.
Exclusions: What’s Not Covered?
– Wear and Tear
Normal wear and tear from prolonged use is not covered.
– Battery Replacement
We do not cover mobility scooter batteries.
– High-Speed Vehicles
Scooters capable of exceeding 8 mph are not covered, as they don’t comply with UK legal speed limits for mobility scooters.
