I am looking to get my bike insured for obvious reasons (had two guys brake through a window at my old house while every one was in for my 456) and was hoping you could advise on the best place to look? Home contents wont cover it.
I have a 456ss with pikes, hope minis, pro2s and slx so a fair bit of money in it from my point of view.
Thanks
halifax home insurance will cover bikes, listed as a valuable item so long as kept in house, garage or locked to immovable object in a secured shed
I would suggest changing your contents insurance will be cheaper than specialist bike insurance - I was quoted over £600 a year by several bike insurers to cover two £2k bikes, sevral more wouldnt offer cover unless each bike on a seperate policy???
butterworth insurance for me
£290 (ish) covers 2 bikes, one at £1500 one at £2500, plus a million squid public liability.
bikes kept indoors, but could be in an out building so long as they are permanently attached.
same bikes quoted nearer £400 with others.
also have a very nice lady on the end of the phone, not a call center.
M&S contents insurance for us, £121pa which includes bikes (and anything else) home or away.
my bike is insured with my home contents ( sunlife).... paying a few quid extra on top each month and just told them the price of the bike and its insured for full price .....
Thanks for the advice. Contents is due for renewal in a few months but wanted to get it sort asap with all the stolen bike stories around Leeds at the mo
M&S home contents here to for about £300 iirc. Not sure why people pay that just for bike insurance.
cos i'm a student. can't get my own house insurance, its not covered by my parents, nor my landlords either.
when i get my own house though...
you can get your own contents insurance as a student - normally only pay upfront though.
