What is closed mobility scooter insurance?
Goal
A closed mobility scooter insurance dekt primair het risico dat u met de scootmobiel schade veroorzaakt aan anderen (WA). Daarnaast kunt u de verzekering uitbreiden voor schade aan de scootmobiel zelf, zoals diefstal, brand en cascoschade (policy dependent).
Why extra relevant for closed models?
closed mobility scooteren bevatten meer onderdelen (cabine, ruiten, deuren, elektronica) en zijn vaak duurder in herstel. Daarom is het extra belangrijk om de verzekerde waarde, accessoires en voorwaarden goed te controleren.
The exact coverage that suits you depends on your use, storage and risk profile.
Difference between open and closed mobility scooter
Comfort & protection
Gesloten modellen bieden bescherming tegen regen/wind en gevand often meer stabiliteitsgevoel. Dit kan invloed hebben op gebruik (vaker/ verder).
Value & parts
Door cabin, ruiten, deuren en elektronica is de waarde vaak hoger. Daarmee stijgt het belang van juiste verzekerde waarde en cascodekking.
Risks
Besides collision/fall occurs more often storm- and window damage mee. Controleer wat uw polis daarover zegt (policy dependent).
Third party liability (liability): basic coverage
Why WA is essential
WA dekt doorgaans schade die u met uw Mobility scooter veroorzaakt aan anderen (materieel en mogelijk letsel, polisafhankelijk). Schadebedragen kunnen hoog oplopen, waardoor WA voor de meeste gebruikers de basis is.
Situation dependent
Verplichtingen en registratie kunnen afhangen van voertuigstatus en gebruik. Start de berekening of neem Contact op; dan kunnen we u gericht helpen met de juiste dekking.
When in doubt: assume that it is “well organised” and avoid driving without insurance.

Cabin & windows: additional points of attention
What can break?
- windshield/side window or plastic window plates
