How can I find insurance for 2 weeks for a mobility scooter for when we are on holiday next week? I need insurance to cover a mobility scooter I am hireing while we are away in the UK. I thought theinsurance for my own scooter would cover it, but as it's a new scooter the insurance doesn't come into effect until next year when the garuntee runs out, and then is only effective on my own scooter. We go away at the begining of next week so I need to know ASP, so I can find it at the latest Monday
mobility scooter? When I go out on my scooter it is fully charged, but it frequently stops. It will only go forward again if I switch it off & then immediately on again. As a fairly new user, I find this very worrying. Why does it do this, & can anything be done about it. The scooter is used most days, very short journeys, & put on charge as soon as I return home.

Insurance for a mobility scooter? Would anyone be able to recommend a UK company who can provide insurance for a mobility scooter, preferably payable monthly via direct debit? All I can find is companies that want immediate full payment, which is not an option for my 70 year old mum. The scooter is provided on permanant loan via a scheme run by SSAFA, they have recommended an insurance company but they want the full premium in one payment and that just isn't an option for my mum.
Mobility Scooter for Overweight? Hi, I've put on some weight in the past couple of years, whilst at college, and I get really tired and upset walking long distances. I've just started my masters course at a new college, which I has a really spread out campus. There are no shuttle buses like at my old university, and I can't handle the hills and stairs at my size. I've tried diets but they don't work and I can't stick with jsut eating crappy vegetables and celery - a girl's got to eat well! - and I'm too busy for gyms. I really want to know whether I can get a decent mobility scooter for getting me around - I don't want to miss out on classes or socialising by not being able to move about. Does anyone know how much a good scooter will cost? Can you get them second hand? Also, can you get health insurance to pay for something like this? I'd like something cool that can scoot me around quickly and not look frumpy - any advice? You don't need to be so negative - it's not like i eat all the time, and I would just want this to travel between buildings, not all the time like in class or anything. Yeah i like food, but i'm not some kind of monster who doesnt do anything but sit around getting bigger. I can't get a bicycle because i cant ride one or balance on it, and id get even more tired riding it. Thanks to the one person who gave a useful link so far!
Giving my parents a mobility scooter with conditions...? I dont have much of a relationship with my parents, especially my mother. This comes from their neglect as grandparents towards my son, whom I love more than anything. Recently my father has become ill and is now unable to walk great distances. I offered to buy him a scooter (mobility buggy) and he did not want one initially. Now he has agreed and it arrives tomorrow. I have a feeling that my mother wants to use it more than he does, which I suppose had to happen. Anyway, I know from experience that my parents are liable to use this buggy then decide they do not want or need it. In the past they have sold or given away things like this that I have helped them out with once they tired of them. In this instance (as the buggy is expensive) I do not want my parents to sell it or give it away. Hence, I am going to tell them that it is on loan to them from me until they decide they do not want it anymore. Is this wrong? What is it about my son they have not accepted? I am not sure. There's so so many things they could choose as a reason: My wife is Angolo Indian and a catholic. My son was born on the same day as my late elder brother (which I take as a great message of goodwill from him) and maybe that freaks them out. I refuse to befriend my sisters abusive lowlife (Springer Show) husband. I refuse to accept my sister's abusive behaviour (theivery, drunkenness and general horridness)., I refuse to accept that my surviving brother is mentally handicapped, as my mother insists (I know he is just a 40 plus year old mooching bum pretending toi be an idiot to gain peoples sympathy). Any one of those issues has caused my family to be estranged from me, but as to the ignoring of my son I think my wife is right. She thinks theat my parents just don't know how to behave and don't (for whatever reason) have any loving feelings towards me or my son. Yes, I've had counselling over this :)
