Bicycle insurance

[BusStopBetty]

Hello, can anyone recommend a decent insurer for a couple of bikes? Each worth under £ 350.

I did look at adding them to the home insurance, but the excess makes it not worthwhile.

usually home insurance is the cheapest bet, sorry.

Really? Dammit. The excess is so high (because otherwise the insurance is extortionate) that it would barely be worth adding them.

My LV= insurance was good for bikes under £300 (might have been £250) and paid out very promptly They were included automatically in the home insurance (and didn't do "pro rata" as dh's bike, with the extra bits n piece, was worth more). Excess was only £50.

However, when I went to add all our bikes (including ds' excessively expensive ones), so that they we're insure closer to their true value, the additional premium was extortionate .

When my buildings & contents renewal came up for renewal, I shopped around and found a combined policy that covered the bikes as well as the house and contents for about the same "extra" that LV= wanted to charge just to include the bikes. (Was OneCall, underwritten by AXA)
