In brief
A mobility scooter counts as a disability vehicle. Different rules apply to it than to a moped; have your situation checked, because the insurance obligation depends on the type and the top speed.
A Segway is a special moped and therefore does have a registration and compulsory third-party liability insurance.
Quite apart from the legal obligation, own-damage cover is almost always sensible: these vehicles cost several thousand euros, often stand outdoors or in a communal storage room, and the battery is a sought-after component.
Independent, personal, sorted quickly
We compare your moped insurance across dozens of insurers, explain where the real differences lie, and arrange the switch from start to finish — without you having to chase it yourself.

What does mobility scooter and Segway insurance cover?
The structure of the cover in three parts, with an overview per situation below.
Own-damage cover
Damage to and theft of the vehicle itself.
- Theft and vandalism
- Fall and collision damage
- Battery and charger
Assistance and replacement
You do not want to be without transport for days.
- Breakdown assistance on the road
- Replacement vehicle
- Transport to the supplier
What is covered
| Situation | Covered |
|---|---|
| Damage to a parked car | Sometimes |
| Theft from a communal storage room | Sometimes |
| Damage from a fall or tipping over | Sometimes |
| A breakdown on the road with transport home | Sometimes |
| Damage to the battery from incorrect charging | No |
| Use by someone without permission | No |
This overview is general in nature and is not personal advice. What is actually covered, including exclusions, limits and the excess, is set out in the policy conditions and the insurance card (verzekeringskaart) of the insurer; you receive both before you take out cover. Taking out cover without advice? Then read what execution only means for you.
What does your premium depend on?
- Purchase price
- Type of vehicle: mobility scooter, Segway or other electric vehicle
- Storage: indoors, in a storage room or outdoors
- Cover chosen: third-party liability, third party, fire and theft, or comprehensive cover
- Breakdown assistance and a replacement vehicle
- Excess
Insurers weigh these details differently. That is where your saving is.

Where things go wrong in practice
Four points that make the difference between a policy that pays out and one that does not.
First establish whether insurance is compulsory
For a Segway, third-party liability cover is compulsory. For a mobility scooter it depends on the type and the speed, and sometimes the cover runs through your liability insurance. Have that established before you take anything out.
Storage and security
If the vehicle stands in a communal storage room or in the hallway of a block of flats, additional requirements often apply to theft cover.
Battery and charger
The battery is expensive and sought after. Check whether it is included in the cover, and whether damage from charging falls outside it.
A replacement vehicle counts heavily
Without a mobility scooter you have no mobility. Cover with a replacement vehicle or a quick repair matters more here than a few euros' difference in premium.
Frequently asked questions
This is what people ask us most.
Is insurance for a mobility scooter compulsory?
That depends on the type of vehicle and the top speed. A mobility scooter counts as a disability vehicle and comes under different rules from a moped. Have your situation checked before you assume that you need nothing.
And for a Segway?
A Segway is a special moped: a registration and third-party liability insurance are compulsory.
Is my mobility scooter covered on my home contents insurance?
Generally not, or only indoors. Theft from a storage room or from the street calls for a separate policy.
What if I have the vehicle through the local authority or my health insurer?
The ownership position is then different and cover is sometimes already arranged. Ask about that before you insure twice over.
Is the battery covered?
Usually yes, as part of the vehicle, but damage from incorrect charging is excluded practically everywhere. Always use the original charger.
Do I get replacement transport after a claim?
Only with a policy that expressly offers it. For anyone who depends on the vehicle, that is often the most important part of the cover.
Every situation is different. For these situations we have a separate page.
