Any excuse to wriggle out and they will

Been with this company for six years and had my best racing bike stolen from my shed. First they used the excuse that I could not prove proof of ownership, then they said I had the wrong kind of padlock on. Even though the thieves used bolt cotters to get in. Don't know what has upset me the most, the thieves who stole my bike or the insurance company who won't pay up.

We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the theft of your bike.
Our decision wasn’t about finding reasons not to pay. Proof of ownership and meeting the required security standards are fundamental parts of the policy agreed to when cover is purchased, and they’re essential to ensuring claims are handled fairly and consistently.
In this case, those conditions weren’t met, so we were unable to pay the claim. Team Pedal Cover

We had a few questions for the team ahead of renewing our insurance. The Pedal Cover team we really helpful. They went out of their way to find out the correct answers .
Often when taking out insurance you just fall into an algorithm that decides yes or no but on this occasion we were assured that our insurance is based on individual information and adjusted to suit our requirements. Thank you to Rebecca for her guidance.

Easy to do

Easy to do. And it covered my needs for the my next adventure. Hopefully I’ll never have to claim anything, just simple peace of mind.
Hoping I’ll get a 50% refund as a no claims reward afterwards 😂

Great customer service

Having sent in a question it was a surprise to get a phone call from Joe at Pedal Cover, he clearly explained how the company operated and went through the process quickly and thoroughly. The price was very competitive and the website easy to use.

I had to knock a star off for the price increase (wishful thinking that it might go down).
I have used Pedal Cover for a number of years. In that time I have only had to make one claim when all my bikes were stolen out of my garage. Within two weeks the claim was settled in full, no quibble just solutions.

Hi Barbara, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Our underwriters had a rate increase back in October to cover the increasing costs of claims and other things, sadly this was out of our hands. However, we really appreciate you still seeing the value in our product and services and sticking with us for another year! Stay safe, Team Pedal Cover
