Cycle Insurance/help

[anderson]

I contacted the insurance company in the ctc magazine with the view of insuring my bikes with them. I was quite surprised as to how expensive they were.

Can anyone recommend a suitable, reliable and cheaper company to get cover from.

Thanks in advance.

Yes I found them quite expensive,plus if you made a claim your policy ended and you had to
reinsure.I think probably the cheapest way is to cover your bike(s) with your house contents
insurance depending on the value of your machine.

Ask your home contents insurer, mine's Black Horse and they agreed to cover my bike to the correct
value for a slight increase in the premium. They can only say yes or no, just ask them.

I added 1500 quids worth of mtb onto my household policy for a grand increase in premium of 15 quid.
Up from 65 to 80. With More Than.

It's covered for theft (from a locked building or car, or if locked and the broken lock can be
produced) and accidental damage.
