Why consider bicycle insurance?
Your bike is your pride and joy and with the number of bike thefts increasing dramatically, alongside the rising cost of living, you can protect your bike by taking out specialist cycling insurance.
While you might assume that your bike can simply be added to your household or contents insurance, the truth is that there are likely to be limitations or additional charges involved - and it's unlikely you'll be covered when you're away from home. What would you do if your bike got stolen - could you afford to replace it? Avoid nasty surprises and unexpected costs with cycle insurance.
Cycleplan insurance will cover your bike should it get stolen, providing it's locked correctly using an approved lock and you follow the security requirements. Here's a quick summary of what you can and can't claim for:
- Stolen bike -stored and locked appropriately
- Damage following a collision
- Stolen bike - not stored and locked appropriately
- Stolen bike - no proof of purchase
There are two options to protect your bike with Cycleplan. You can activate your free 14 day insurance today for bikes worth up to £4,000 which will protect your bike against theft or damage. Or you can buy an annual policy for multiple bikes worth up to the total value of £30,000 and protect against theft or damage plus you can add other policy options such as Public Liability, Personal Accident, Legal Expenses and Worldwide cover.
