What is Mobility Retailer Insurance?
Mobility retailer insurance is a tailored package of covers designed to address the specific risks faced by businesses selling mobility scooters, wheelchairs, stairlifts, and related equipment. This comprehensive insurance combines essential protections such as public liability insurance, employers' liability, stock and contents cover, and business interruption insurance, ensuring you meet regulatory requirements and safeguard your business against financial losses from claims, theft, or damage.
Why Do Mobility Retailers Need Business Insurance?
Running a mobility shop involves unique risks, from customer injuries in your showroom to theft of high-value stock and equipment. Without proper coverage, a single incident could threaten your business's financial stability and reputation. Our insurance packages provide:
- Comprehensive protection for your premises, stock, employees, and customers
- Peace of mind knowing you're covered for accidents, theft, and legal claims
- Enhanced reputation and compliance with retail industry standards
- Access to expert advice and dedicated claims support
- Exclusive policy enhancements from specialist providers who understand mobility retail
Types of Insurance for Mobility Retailers
We create tailored and bespoke insurance policies to suit your business needs. Here are the key types of cover within a comprehensive mobility retailer insurance policy:
- Public Liability Insurance - Covers injury or property damage claims from third parties, such as customers, visitors, or members of the public. For example, if a customer trips in your showroom or is injured whilst testing a mobility scooter, this cover protects you against compensation claims and legal costs.
- Employers’ Liability - Legally required if you employ staff, this covers claims from employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their work. It protects your business against compensation claims for workplace accidents, such as manual handling injuries or slips and trips
- Stock and Contents Insurance – Protects your valuable inventory of mobility scooters, wheelchairs, walking aids, and other equipment against theft, fire, flood, or accidental damage. This cover also extends to your shop fixtures, fittings, computers, and office equipment, ensuring your physical store is fully protected
- Business Interruption Insurance – Reimburses lost income and covers ongoing expenses if your shop is temporarily unable to operate due to an insured event, such as fire, flood, or storm damage. This ensures you can continue paying rent, wages, and other overheads whilst your business recovers.
- Product Liability Insurance – Covers claims arising from faulty or defective products you sell. For example, if a mobility scooter malfunctions and causes injury to a customer, this cover protects you against compensation claims and legal defence costs.
- Legal Expenses Insurance – Covers legal fees and costs associated with business disputes, employment issues, regulatory investigations, or contract disputes with suppliers.
- Cyber Insurance – Protects your business against data breaches, cyber attacks, and the costs of system restoration and reputation management. Essential if you process customer payments or hold personal data.
- Commercial Property Insurance – If you own your retail premises, this covers the building itself against risks such as fire, flood, storm damage, or subsidence.
Our team can help you identify the right combination of cover for your specific needs. Or why not consider a commercial combined insurance policy is designed to provide insurance cover for multiple liabilities under one renewal.

FAQs
What insurance do I need to run a mobility scooter shop?
At minimum, you need Public Liability Insurance to protect against customer injury claims, Stock and Contents Insurance to cover your valuable inventory, and Business Interruption Insurance to protect your income. If you employ staff, Employers' Liability Insurance is legally required. Specialist providers offer comprehensive packages tailored specifically for mobility retailers and showrooms.
Does my stock insurance cover mobility scooters and expensive equipment?
Yes, stock and contents insurance is designed to protect your entire inventory, including high-value items like mobility scooters, electric wheelchairs, and stairlifts. We work with specialist providers who understand the value of mobility equipment and can provide adequate coverage limits for your stock.
What happens if my shop is damaged by fire or flood?
Business Interruption Insurance covers lost income and ongoing expenses whilst your shop is closed for repairs. Stock and Contents Insurance covers the cost of replacing damaged inventory and shop fixtures. Commercial Property Insurance (if you own the building) covers repair costs to the premises itself. Together, these covers ensure you can recover and reopen your business.
