Insurance for Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles

A WAV is no different to insure than a standard vehicle, however you will need to inform your insurer that it has been converted to transport a wheelchair user, as you will need to cover the vehicle for the full replacement value.

How to Insure a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle

You can insure a privately-owned Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle through any of the major insurance companies, but we recommend firms who specialise in Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles.

Specialist companies include :

• Fish Insurance – 0333 331 3992
• Adrian Flux – 0800 089 0045 (Ref: D1184)
• Thomas & Co – 01202 620691
• Prestige Insurance – 0800 330857
• Tysers Mobility Insurance – 01462 439856

We always recommend you contact at least a couple of insurance companies, as you will find the premium can differ; in some cases quite significantly.
