Bike Insurance

[dodss]

I have breakdown insurance for our cars with ETA , Environment Travel Assoc .I have now added my bike, includes transport to a LBS if broken down and more comprehensive cover than household ,more costly but as I tour its worthwhile having such cover.

I was with Equine and Livestock* and I paid £7.95/month to insure £1000 worth of bike and equipment. They paid out after 8 weeks costing £59 excess after I'd only been paying in 10 months.

They were also really accessible by phone, and if I hadn't done something (like dot the i, cross the t, or simply just kept in touch with how I was going in my quest for a copy of my crime report) they actually got in touch with me to see how things were progressing.

Quite impressed.

*not just for horse saddles, y'know!

This looked great until I got to the bit where you're expected to keep the bike in the house overnight! What's wrong with a locked garage?

In principle, it is not worth insuring stuff you can easily afford to replace.

are you taking the piss? any premium will be significanty more than you paid for the bike!

You bike is worth less than 8 pints of beer.

just because he bought it for a certain amount doesnt mean it is worth that amount.
if i am given a free house, does it mean that said house it worthless because i didnt pay for it?
if you have a bike that you had won your first race on, that bike may only be worth 100 pound to someone but to you its priceless.
