So you know, every Scheme customer has transferred from RSAM to DLM, so there’s no need to contact us to check.
We are sorry, it looks like we have an issue!
Moving to Direct Line Motability (DLM)
From 1 September 2023, the insurance provider for the Motability Scheme has changed from RSA Motability (RSAM) to Direct Line Motability (DLM).
You should now have received your new DLM Insurance Cover Booklet by post or by email, but if not, you can download a copy.
To make this transition as seamless as possible for you, there’s been no change to your level of cover and the main contact number, 0300 037 3737, has stayed the same.
You can now enjoy improved digital insurance features through your Motability Scheme online account.
This includes being able to manage your drivers and easily check your policy details, and many more exciting new features will follow in the coming months.
To help you understand more about the move to DLM, we’ve answered some common questions below.

I got a new vehicle just before 1 September. Will I get new documents?
Yes, we’ll send you a copy of the DLM Insurance Cover Booklet in the next few weeks by post or email.

Claims before 1 September 2023
