We have spent a long time searching for the right insurance provider for our bike & travel insurance needs and we are happy to say we have found them in Yellow Jersey.These guys provide bike specific insurance and include cover for elements such as race cancellation entry, crash damage, wheel cover and theft from inside vehicles.
But most importantly they provide excellent holiday cover for our clients travelling with us. From bikes not arriving at the airport to personal injury they've been there to offer excellent service and cover over the years of our partnership.
Yellow Jersey also offer a 60% discount on your second bike when insuring two and who doesn't have more than one bike these days with road, enduro, and downhill cycling all becoming so popular, this is a serious bonus!
For example, we just insured two of our bikes, one worth around £4500 and the other £3500, this cost a total of £355 for the year and comes with a free DNA kit worth £36 so you can identify your bike if stolen. This came in at about £200 less than any other provider we have found so far and that was for TWO bikes!
