Hi new to the motability.  So just ordered a new car for my disabled daughter but has to be in my name as she has a learning disability and I am her nominee.  So she lives at home at present but will be due to move to supported living within year.  I am down as a driver and so is her sister.  When she goes to supported living there will be several carers at different times.  So what do I do to get them covered as it is only for three people?  Will I still be on the insurance as I wont be living with her (really need to be on it too). Any other helpful advise most appreciated. Thank you

Hello, my son moved to supported living a few months ago and Motability amended the insurance to an open insurance policy. There are no named drivers now and anyone can drive his vehicle, including myself, barring accident/conviction requirements. He receives 24 hour care though so I’m not sure if that is a condition of the open policy.

Open insurance policies

These can be helpful to make sure multiple carers can use the vehicle.

You can get them if the customer lives in or is eligible to live in a residential care home, nursing home or school, or needs 24-hour care.

WAVWheelchair Accessible Vehicle customers who need multiple drivers to support their care needs are also eligible.

Drivers must have a full UK or EU driving licence, with no at-fault accidents in the last three years or motoring convictions in the last five years.

Call our insurance provider to talk to them about this.
