Each cycling insurer started on a level playing field with each hypothetically owning:
- £1000 bike
- £150 worth of accessories (lock, lights, mudguards etc)
- I tend to leave my bike in my house and at work in a secure garage. Once a week I leave my bike overnight in London, when I go out for after work drinks (Around 14 hours)
- Own a sold secure gold rated bike lock – The Kryptonite New York 3000
- Have receipts for bike, lock, accessories
- Occasionally take part in cycling events
Insurers tested, in order of price:
Cycleguard Bike Insurance:£130 per year
ETA Bicycle Insurance:£129.43 per year
BikMo Plus Cycle Insurance:£106 per year
E&L Cycle Cover:£100.32 per year
Protect Your Bubble Bike Insurance:£95.88 per year
Cycleplan:£62 per year< At £62 this was the one of the best quotes I received, but the coverage is basic, with the option of upgrading to more options such as worldwide travel and an excess waiver.
For policies worth more than £100, you are able to pay monthly, without incurring any additional fees.
Key points:
- New for old for bikes up to three years old, then a deduction is made for wear and tear.
- Worldwide cover, competition cover and personal accident cover is extra
- Excess of £25 or 5% of the claim value – whichever is higher
- Cover extends to family members, living at the same location<
- Bike can be left for up to 12 hours and still be insured and 24 hours at a train station.
