Cycleguard insurance offers different levels of cover to suit the widest variety
of cyclists. Our flexible cover allows you to choose the options that match
your needs – for example, if you don't need racing or competition cover….why
pay for it?

Cyclists that commute to work on pedal bicycles or electric bicycles
Cyclists that race or are involved in other competitive cycle sports
Cyclists that only need liability insurance
Cycleguard provides:
Cover against theft, loss and accidental damage up to £5,000
Replacement on a new for old basis for bicycles up to
3 years old (older cycles are subject to depreciation)
Bicycle hire -

Cycleguard also have optional liability and
personal accident cover – to cover you against third party claims or
personal injury whilst using your bicycle and an optional 'family
members' extension to cover other members of your family to use your cycle.
Hopefully, that will tell you enough about the cover to get
a quote.
Cycleguard - in more detail We have 2 policies that we use as the basic foundation for our cover – within
these products there are options and extensions which allow us to provide you
with the flexibility that you, as a cyclist, need. The basic products are:
Urban and Leisure, Active and Electricbike
This policy allows you to insure up to 3 bicycles, tricycles, tandems and electricbikes
up to a total value of £5000. It is ideal for everyday cyclists, commuters,
those that participate in racing or bicycle related competition and cyclists
that use their bicycle for business purposes.
It has options for:
Active – covers you whilst you take part in road
races, timed trials and other competitive events. Unfortunately professional
cyclists are not eligible.
Electricbikes (for human and electric powered bicycles)
Roadcare (liability and personal accident cover whilst
using your bicycle)
Family members (allows other members of your family to
use your bicycle)
Area cover (allows you to use your bicycle abroad if you
need to).
Roadcare Personal Protection

bicycle insurance is provided – this is solely to cover you against
third party claims or personal injury.

personal accident cover whilst you are racing or involved in bicycle related
competitive sport.

simple instantquote system
will work all that out for you!

and I am very pleased with it. I will be recommending Cycleguard to my
family and friends.”
“Thank you very much for your prompt and expansive response!!
I am impressed at the trouble you've taken, when other companies provide
very limited and ‘standard' responses to any query – of
whatever nature. Best wishes from a renewing customer!”
“A sincere thank you. You've explained all very well. I shall
be contacting your in the near future then to take out a policy.”
“I have received nothing but excellent service from you”
“May I take the pleasure in thanking you for the clearest, most concise
and unambiguous, prompt reply I ever had from your company or probably
any other, for that matter.”
Money
back guarantee
You have a right to cancel within 14 days. However we have extended
this statutory period to 28 days of the commencement date. You will
receive a refund of your premium less an administration fee of 20%
of the premium, subject to a minimum of £5 and a maximum of £25,
and a time on risk charge apportioned as a percentage of the premium. Sorry!….no
free cover is allowed!!
No refunds are payable for cancellation in part or in whole by you for
any reason outside of 28 days from the commencement date, other than for
amendments that are allowed.
Your cover is dependant on using a lock from our approved locklist,
you can use a lock for a higher value bicycle than yours but you cannot
use a lock designed for a less expensive bicycle than the one you have
insured. For example, you can use a lock from categories B and C with
a bicycle under £250 but you cannot use a category A lock for
a bicycle over £1500.
