Homeowners insurance vs. Specialist bicycle insurance

Specialist e-bike and bicycle insurance offers comprehensive coverage tailored to the unique needs of cyclists.

Why choose standalone bike insurance?

Most homeowners or renters policies have low coverage limits for sporting equipment, including e-bikes or bicycle. These low limits might mean your bike is only covered for a small portion of its actual value. Furthermore, these policies often have higher deductibles and fail to provide coverage if your bike is stolen or damaged away from home.

How do I choose the best bicycle insurance company for me?

When choosing the best bicycle insurance company in the US, consider factors like coverage options (theft, accidental damage, racing, and worldwide coverage), deductibles, pricing, claims process, and additional benefits like replacement bike hire or multi-bike discounts.

In the US, some of the top cycle insurance companies include Sundays Insurance, Velosurance, Markel, Bikesure, and Oyster. Sundays Insurance stands out for its cyclist-focused benefits, competitive pricing, and customizable policies tailored to your specific needs.

Comparing these companies based on your riding habits and coverage requirements will help you find the best fit. To see how Sundays Insurance compares to other providers, check out our comparison table.

What factors affect the cost of bicycle insurance?

The cost of bike insurance depends on several key factors, including:

Bike Value: Higher-value bikes, such as premium road bikes or e-bikes, typically cost more to insure due to their replacement cost.

Deductible Amount: Choosing a higher deductible can lower your premium, while a lower deductible increases it.

Optional Coverage: Add-ons like worldwide coverage or racing protection can increase your premium.

Number of Bikes Insured: Insuring multiple bikes can lower your overall cost with a multi-bike discount.

Why should I choose standalone bike insurance over homeowners insurance?

Standalone bike insurance, like the coverage offered by Sundays Insurance, provides specialist protection that homeowners or renters insurance often lacks. Most homeowners policies have low coverage limits for sporting equipment, including bicycles, meaning your bike may only be covered for a fraction of its value.

Additionally, homeowners insurance typically has higher deductibles, may not cover theft or damage away from home, and often increases your premiums after you file a claim.

With standalone bicycle insurance, you get:

Full Value Coverage: Insure your bike for its full value, including custom parts and upgrades.

Accidental Damage Protection: Coverage for crashes, impacts, and other accidents.

Theft Coverage Anywhere: Protection against theft both at home and away.

No Premium Increases After Claims: Unlike many homeowners policies, your premiums won’t increase after you make a claim.

Optional Add-Ons: Racing coverage, worldwide travel protection, and replacement bike hire.

For a detailed comparison, check out our Homeowners vs. Standalone Bike Insurance page to see why standalone bike insurance is the better choice for cyclists.

Can I get worldwide coverage for my bike with Sundays Insurance?

Yes, Sundays Insurance offers optional worldwide coverage, allowing you to protect your bike for up to 90 days while traveling internationally.
