Cycle insurance

Post by formula400 »

As above? Looking to insure the new bike, not sure the home policy will cover it.

Any good or bad ones to look at avoid???


Thanks

I use cover cloud for the Ebike, it's about £100 a year.... I have no idea if they're good or bad... i've never needed to call them.

Speak to your provider, ask them if its possible to get an agreed value on it.

Max total value is likely to exceed the home policy... Mine is quite a decent one but the max value is £5500 total.

I get the impression his may be more.
