Do I need to be in my vehicle while it's being used?

Your vehicle needs to be used by the disabled customer or for their benefit.

This does not mean they need to be in the vehicle for every journey.

It means other drivers in the same home can use the vehicle for:

  • Shopping
  • Visiting family
  • Other routine activities

As long as the disabled customer benefits.

Remember, only drivers listed on your Certificate of Motor Insurance are covered to drive your Scheme vehicle.
