The ETA (Environmental Transport Association) was founded in 1990 as an ethical alternative to the AA and RAC, donating from every policy sold to the ETA Trust charity and holding an ethical rating from the Good Shopping Guide. It's FCA-authorised (firm reference 313965).
Is ETA mobility scooter insurance any good?
ETA holds an "Excellent" Trustpilot rating of around 4.8/5 from roughly 1,860 reviews — one of the strongest scores among the providers we compare. Its ethical positioning is also a genuine differentiator for buyers who'd rather not insure with a mainstream motoring organisation.
How much does ETA mobility scooter insurance cost?
Cover starts from £65 a year for scooters valued up to £3,500, which includes theft and accidental damage cover up to £10,000 — a notably higher claims limit than several competitors offer at a similar price. A couples discount is available where two people at the same address each insure a scooter.
What does ETA cover?
- Theft and accidental damage cover up to £10,000
- Breakdown recovery included as standard, up to 25 miles
- £2 million personal liability cover
- £20,000 personal accident cover

Our verdict on ETA
ETA stands out for bundling breakdown recovery into its standard price rather than charging extra for it — a genuine practical advantage if your scooter breaks down away from home. Combined with a strong Trustpilot score and an ethical underwriting model, it's a solid choice for UK-only use.
