Essential Cover
Theft

Bike theft is the most common cause of loss and included as standard cover. On the proviso that you meet our security requirements, you’ll derive comfort in the knowledge that you’re covered.

Accidental Damage

Should your prized bike suffer damage in an accident or fall, we confirm that accidental cover is automatically included. Based on the extent of damage, your bike will either be repaired or replaced.

New for old

If you purchased the bike brand new and it's damaged beyond economical repair or stolen, it will be replaced with a brand-new bike of similar value and specification (subject to the adequacy of the sum insured). We cover bikes up to the individual value of £15,000. Second-hand bikes will be covered on a market value basis, taking into account depreciation and condition

How do I have to secure my bike for my policy to be valid?

At home - Theft, Accidental or Malicious damage will be covered if the bicycle is kept inside your home (or alternative specified insured location) so long as all security devices are in operation and accompanied by evidence of forcible or violent entry or exit.

If stored in communal areas, the communal area must only be accessible to residents and their guests, the cycle must be secured through the frame by an approved lock to an immovable object.

If kept inside a private garage or shed, the outbuilding must be fully enclosed and constructed of brick, stone, concrete, timber or metal (including specialist Cycle storage boxes) within the boundaries of the insured location the door must be fitted with a multi-point locking system, 5-lever mortice deadlock or 5-lever padlock or the cycle must be secured through the frame by an approved lock to an immovable object.

Away from home - Theft, Accidental or Malicious damage is covered if the cycle is secured through the frame by an approved lock to an immovable object (it must not be unattended for more than 24 hours, and there must be evidence of force and violence used to take or access the cycle).

Bike Locks – What lock do I need for my bike?

Unfortunately, bike theft is very common; according to the Office for National Statistics, there were 77465 bikes stolen in England & Wales in the period 2021 / 2022 . Our cycle insurance policy insures bikes up to a value of £15k. It is a policy requirement that the appropriate lock corresponding to value of the bike is used. Most bike locks are rated by Sold Secure, an independent testing company, who award a bronze, silver, gold and platinum rating. See the table below to ascertain which lock you require.

Bike value Sold Secure rating
Up to £250 Bronze
£250 and £1,500 Silver
Over £1,500 Gold

Cover against accidental damage

Despite our best efforts, accidents can happen – especially when cycling through built up and heavily congested areas. In fact, the RoSPA reported that a total of 18,477 cyclists had been involved in road accidents in 2016. If you’re caught up in an accident and your bicycle is damaged, our cycle insurance policy will cover your repair costs up to a value of £15k - allowing you to get back up and running (or riding!) in no time.

FAQs
Buying Eversure Cycle insurance
  • I need to change or cancel my cycle insurance policy, are there any fees?

    If you have purchased a policy on or after the 13 August 2019 then the following fees will apply: 

    • Mid Term Adjustments - £10.00 
    • Cancellations - Touring Caravan - £10.00  

    Please note that administrative fees are non-refundable. 

  • Are there any age limits on your cycle policies?

    Yes we do have age restrictions which are as follows:

    • To purchase a cycle policy: 18 – 84 inclusive
    • Public Liability cover (optional extra): 16 - 84 inclusive
    • Personal Accident cover (optional extra): 16 - 69 inclusive

  • How can I pay for my Cycle insurance?

    You can pay for your annual policy in full by using any UK credit or debit card including American Express.

    If your policy is valued at over £120.00, we offer the facility to pay in monthly repayments via our partner, Premium Credit.   When selecting this payment method, you will pay a deposit to Eversure.  Your remaining repayments will be collected by Premium Credit, and your first monthly repayment will be collected one month after the start date of your policy.

    You will receive a welcome pack from Premium Credit by email within 14 days, which will include a repayment schedule. Please read it carefully and sign the Credit Agreement as soon as possible.  A £10 charge may be incurred if Premium Credit are required to remind you to sign the agreement.

    If you change your mind you can cancel the credit agreement free of charge within 14 days of purchase, you will have to make alternative arrangements to pay the balance of your insurance policy.

    Please Note: We can't offer this payment method to policies that don't meet this value so please don't ask. We don't like saying no!

  • I do not live in the UK, can I still buy your cycle insurance?

    We're not permitted to write insurance to non-UK residents at this time. 

    Additionally, residents of The Isle of Mann and the Channel Islands are not permitted to purchase our  insurance.

    To qualify as a valid resident for the purposes of our Cycle Insurance, you will have spent at least 6 of the last 12 months in the UK, and will spend at least 6 of the following 12 months in the UK.

    If you are staying in the UK on a Visa, you will be covered providing your insurance policy will expire within the duration of your Visa.

  • Is my cycle lock covered under the policy?

    Your policy can include cover for your cycle lock, you must ensure that you select 'Accessories' cover in the purchase process.

    We can offer cover of up to £250, £500 or £1000 in accessories cover and it's not just limited to your cycle lock, other accessories can include cycling specific helmets, hats or caps, shoes, overshoes, jerseys or vests, base layers, gilets, gloves, glasses & goggles, jackets, shorts, bib shorts, bibs, bib-longs, tights, trousers, socks, warmers, compression clothing, backpacks, water bottles and cages, hydration packs, cameras specifically designed for cycling and mounted to a helmet, frame or handlebars; cycling computer; cycling GPS unit, lights, cycle luggage, panniers, saddle bag, cycling tools, cycling armour & guards.

    The lock must be an approved lock from the appropriate Sold Secure category - our list of approved locks can be found here.

    Cycle accessory cover can also be added to your policy if you are already a policyholder, please get in touch with us if you would like to add this to your policy.

  • Where can I find the Policy Wording for Cycle Insurance?

    The policy wording can be found on the home page of our website, we always recommend you read this before purchasing a policy to ensure that they understand how your cycle policy works and what is covered.  

    If you are already a Policyholder, your policy wording would have been sent to you when you made the purchase of your policy.  All documents are sent to your email address.

  • Do you offer Public Liability on Cycle policies?

    Yes, we can offer Public Liability cover in the following amounts:

    £1 million

    £2 million

    You can select the level of cover you require when obtaining a quote through our website.

    Public Liability protects you against claims brought on by a third party as a result of damage or injury you cause.  There are age restrictions concerning this element of cover, customers aged between 16 - 84 (inclusive) can include this benefit under the policy.

  • Why should I take out Cycle insurance if it's covered on my home policy?

    When we visit cycle retailers, or speak to our customers, we are often asked "Why shouldn't I just cover my bike under my Home Contents insurance?".  This is an important question, and the answer depends upon whether you are willing to accept some of the major exclusions that are common under Home Contents policies.

    Home Contents insurance is an excellent product that every household should consider. Most people usually under-estimate the value of their possessions, and subsequently under-insure on their Home Contents. Home Contents insurance serves a very important purpose; that is to protect the contents of your home against fire, theft, flood, and accidental damage. Without Home Contents insurance, the cost of replacing your possessions after any of the above events could mount up very quickly.

    As with any insurance, Home Contents insurance has its limitations - it cannot possibly cover every single item that you own in every single situation, and it is not designed to do so. For example, people frequently transport items such as bicycles on or in their cars, but you would not expect your car insurance to pay to replace a bicycle stolen from your boot. Likewise, you would not expect your Home Contents insurance to replace your car if it was stolen from your garage.

    Like all insurances, the only way to determine whether a Home Contents insurance policy is suitable for your needs is to carefully read the policy wording.

     

    Key Points to look out for with a Home Contents insurance policy:

    •  We reviewed 10 very well-known Home Contents insurance policies and found that only 2 of them actually covered bicycles against damage whilst being ridden! Most policies also excluded Accidental and Malicious Damage whilst the cycle was away from the home. Eversure Cycle Insurance now insures bikes against non-superficial Accidental Damage and Malicious Damage immediately from purchase.

    •  We also found that the majority of the Home Contents policies we reviewed did not cover bicycles against theft whilst away from the home, even when locked up securely at a bona fide cycle rack. The Eversure Cycle Insurance policy instantly covers the bike against theft, provided you have used the appropriate level Sold Secure Approved Lock. Bikes may be left at a cycle rack for up to 12 hours, or up to 24 hours at a train station.

    •  Most of the Home Contents insurance policies we reviewed had a very low maximum cycle limit. Eversure Cycle Insurance routinely insures cycles up to the value of £10,000.

    •  Several of the Home Contents insurance policies did not cover permanently fixed cycle accessories. Eversure Cycle Insurance covers all permanently fixed accessories included in the value of the cycle.

    • The Public Liability benefit included in the Home Contents insurance policies we reviewed was rarely extended to cover sporting activities such as cycling. This is an important exclusion to note, as Public Liability covers you should you cause injury or damage to another person or to their property whilst cycling. For example, colliding with a pedestrian or scraping down the side of an expensive car. Public Liability Cover can be added to the Eversure Cycle Insurance policy for a small additional charge.

     

    In summary, it is important to read your Home Contents policy wording thoroughly, and to also read the Eversure Cycle Insurance Policy Wording to compare the cover provided. In both cases, make sure that you understand what you are getting for your money and then make the decision as to whether you want a Home Contents policy that may include the above mentioned limitations that are not always reflective of a cyclist’s needs, or whether you want a specialist cycle insurance policy.

  • Why should I choose Eversure Cycle Insurance?

    Eversure bicycle insurance offers you great value, clear and reliable cover, carefully designed to cover you and your family's cycling needs. With cover for theft, accidental and malicious damage, the Eversure cycling insurance policy also provides personal accident cover and replacement bike hire. With optional public liability cover and bike breakdown available, our policy provides cover for both the leisure and competitive cyclist.

    • Personal accident cover
    • Call and speak directly with our trained staff

    • Family cover included

  • I've changed my mind and don't want my policy now, can I cancel?

    We hope you are happy with the cover our policy provides.

    After purchasing our insurance, should you decide that the insurance no longer meets your requirements, you are entitled to cancel this insurance policy by notifying Eversure in writing to our address or by using the Contact Us form on our website within 14 days of issue.  You will receive a refund of premium paid less our cancellation fee, unless you have made a claim in which case the full premium is due.

    You are entitled to cancel this insurance policy after the cooling-off period stated above by notifying Eversure in writing, however no refund of premium will be payable.  A cancellation fee may apply, please see your terms of business agreement provided initially at purchase.  If a claim has been made under your policy then the full premium will be due.

    We shall not be bound to accept renewal of any insurance, and we may cancel this insurance policy by providing 14 days notice in writing to Your last known address.

  • What evidence of ownership will I need to provide to make a claim?

    Ordinarily, this means the original purchase receipt, showing the date, price paid, details of the bicycle and/or approved lock, name and address of seller, or other evidence which clearly demonstrates ownership. Other evidence, which would demonstrate ownership, would include at least one item from the following list:

    • A copy receipt from the retailer stating the item, value and date of purchase
    • An invoice stating the item, value and date of purchase
    • A credit agreement stating the item, value and date of purchase

     

    If you do not have any of the above, we will require a combination of at least two of the below:

    • Clear photographs of your cycling equipment which are date and time stamped
    • A bank or credit card statement showing the date and value of the purchase and the retailers details
    • Any literature which shows details of the item and purchase
    • A recent valuation or repair statement from a reputable cycle dealer stating the item, value and date
    • For items purchased through an online auction such as eBay; a printed copy of the original auction, including photo's, description and auction number as well as the relevant proof of payment

  • Can I get insurance if I have previously made a claim?

    At Eversure we treat everyone as an individual and we consider the circumstances of their claim and, if any action is possible, what they have done to prevent it happening again.

    If you have made a claim, our online underwriting may prevent you purchasing our products instantly and should this happen please get in touch with us to discuss your application and we will refer your responses to our underwriters for a decision.

  • What value should I use for my bicycle?

    If you purchased your cycle from new, you should insure your cycle for the new replacement value.  This is called New for Old cover.

    If you purchased your cycle second hand, you should insure your bicycle (and fixed accessories) for the current replacement value from a reputable supplier at the time of applying for cover.   This is called Market Value cover.

    Yes, any cycle you have that does not meet the definition of cycle on the policy wording, will not be covered. Definition is as follow: 

    Cycle – any bicycle, electric bicycle (provided it has power assistance to a maximum of 25kmh/15.5mph using a motor of no more than 250w rated output), adult tricycle or tandem including permanently fixed component parts and additionally including the Approved Lock belonging to You or a Family member

  • Do your policies cover bicycles that are hired?

    No, the policy will not cover bicycles that are hired.  The policy can only cover bicycles that you own.

  • What are the main exclusions I should be aware of?

    These are what we consider the main exclusions of our policy. You should check the policy wording for a full list.

    • Using the cycle professionally or for any trade/business  
    • Any claim whilst using your cycle for organised events such as triathlons, sportives, cyclo-cross, road cycle races, time trials, track cycling and mountain bike races unless Cycle Event cover has been purchased
    • Any claim relating to commuting to and from work unless Commuting cover has been purchased
    • Theft where the security requirements have not been met
    • Insured items for which you cannot provide evidence of ownership
    • Theft of or damage to accessories or removable parts, unless the cycle is stolen or damaged at the same time and the Cycling Accessories cover has been purchased
    • Tyres or inner tubes unless the cycle suffers accidental or malicious damage at the same time
    • Damage that does not impair the function and/or performance of the cycle
    • Personal accident cover for anyone aged under 16 or over 69
    • Public Liability cover for anyone aged under 16 or over 84
    • Any claim where the cycle has been abandoned

  • Do you cover motorcycles or electric scooters?

    No, our cycle policy provides cover for pedal cycles only.

What is Covered?
  • Am I covered if my cycle is stolen from me whilst I'm riding it, or if I am mugged?

    Your cycle policy would be able to assist in this unfortunate scenario.  It is important that you notify the police as soon as possible and provide them with a detailed account of what has happened.  Before submitting a claim, please ensure you have:

    • a valid and substantiated crime reference number
    • evidence of ownership

    In the event that your cycle has been stolen, in addition to the above, you will also need to provide the key for the approved lock and a receipt demonstrating the make and model. 

     

  • I'm going abroad with my cycle, will this policy respond when my cycle is in transit?

    This policy will cover repair costs if your cycle is accidentally damaged whilst in transit with a recognised transport provider, you must ensure that the cycle is securely packaged and a receipt obtained.

    If your bike is stolen whilst in transit, you will need to seek advice from the airline or transport provider as this policy does not cover theft when the cycle has been entrusted to the recognised transport provider.

  • Is my cycle covered when being transported on a rear-mounted cycle carrier on a car?

    If you are transporting your cycle by car on a rear-mounted cycle carrier and your cycle is damaged by a third party colliding into the rear of the car, we would expect you to be claiming for the damage from the third-party who has hit you given they would be liable for damages.

    Typically though, the cycles would be covered for accidental damage if they were damaged whilst on the racks. They would not, however be covered for theft.

  • What are the key features of Eversure Cycle Insurance?

    The main features of our cycle insurance covered as standard are:

    • Theft
    • Accidental damage
    • Malicious damage
    • Replacement cycle hire
    • Personal accident
    • European Cover

    If you'd like additional cover, you can add the following:

    • Public liability cover
    • Cycle breakdown
    • Cycling accessories
    • Cycle Event Cover
    • Worldwide Cover

  • Does your insurance cover cycles when used in cycle races, triathlons, cycle sportives, etc.?

    Our optional Cycle Event cover will extend the standard policy to also cover you whilst you are using the cycle during organised events such as triathlons, sportives, cyclo-cross, road cycle races, time trials, track cycling and mountain bike races

  • Do you insure wheels?

    If you take out our insurance you have a ‘duty of care’ and therefore you must take care to prevent any accidental damage, malicious damage, theft or loss of your bicycle or component parts. You must make all reasonable efforts to make it as difficult for the wheels or any other component to be stolen, for example, if they are quick-release wheels then:-
