Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles & Disability Converted Cars

At Blue Badge, we understand how important the disability conversions are on your car. Our policy is designed to cover all your specific conversions in the event of accidental damage, loss and theft. In the event that your vehicle is stolen, damaged or written off, we will be able to offer you the sum insured shown on your Certificate of Insurance. This will include the agreed or market value of your vehicle plus any accessories, modifications and/or conversions that have been specified on your Certificate of Insurance.

Depending on the circumstance of your claim, you’ll be asked to provide the following:

Many of our customers have been able to claim back a portion of their insurance premium from various funding bodies, including the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Transport Accidents Commission (TAC).

To help facilitate this, we clearly separate the charges associated with insuring your disability conversions on our documentation as most funding bodies only cover this component.
