Mobility scooter caravan wins world record

A miniature caravan designed by mobility scooter breakdown specialists, the ETA, has been awarded a Guinness World Record.

The QTvan is small and light enough to be towed behind a mobility scooter and is now officially the world's smallest caravan. The ETA developed the tiny caravan to highlight the estimated 220,000 people who use a mobility scooter without breakdown cover and face the prospect of a very long wait should they suffer a mechanical fault or their battery runs flat.

Mobility Scooter Breakdown Cover

At just £36 per year, mobility scooter breakdown cover from the ETA represents peace of mind at an affordable price.

If you break down, or your battery runs flat while you are out and about, we will send a qualified mechanic to come to your aid. Our rescue teams are available 24/7, 365 days a year, so no matter where you break down in Britain you can rest assured that help is at hand. We’ll arrange to get you and your mobility scooter home, or to a specialist repair shop the same day.

Getting you home safely is our priority. If you’re unable to travel in our recovery vehicle, we’ll arrange and cover the costs of a taxi to get you home. If you have any questions, please call freephone 0333 000 1234
