Bringing own portable scooter to Japan – insurance?
Bringing own portable scooter to Japan – insurance?
Hello, my wife will be traveling to Japan and she will bring her own lightweight portable scooter on the plane. We live in The Netherlands and here you need an insurance to use the scooter on the streets (comparable with a car insurance). Do you need this kind of insurance also in Japan? The thing is that it’s unclear if our own insurance is also valid in Japan (our insurance company don’t know this – we have a european “green card” with all countries in which the insurance is valid, but Japan is not in this list). So, my question is: do you need an insurance and if so can you get one when you arrive in Japan?

I’ve never heard of needing insurance for a scooter here.
We’re talking about a mobility scooter, right? Can you send an image or link to the scooter?
