our house insurance is due for renewal. However we can’t seem to get anyone to insure us due to a claim a few years ago.

they best we can get is £1000 per bike (which comes well under)

current insurance is with AXA

they said bike claims have gone up 600%

my wifes tried loads of places and all the same answer…no

arhhh.

any ideas?

Have you tried M&S and The AA?

Or you could try a policy just for the bikes, although that’s usually the least cost effective option

Try pedalcover, we had an £8k claim for bikes just under 3 years ago with M&S who didn’t load the premium the next year but more than doubled our renewal quote this year. I’ve managed to get buildings and contents with £9k of bike cover for £300ish with Pedalcover this year.

axa are the underwriters for pedal cover and thats who our claim was with.

Ah, AXA underwrite M&S too.

Spend more effort on making sure its very flippin difficult to nick and less time trying to insure against it?

sorted – spoke to an under writer.

cheers
