A good bike is a serious investment these days. Whether you cycle to work daily, go on sporty rides, or transport your kids in a cargo bike — you want to make sure your bike is properly insured against damage or theft. With tailored bicycle insurance from De Financiële Alliantie, you can hit the road worry-free.
Bicycle Insurance
Do I need a specific lock for bicycle insurance?
Yes — most insurers require that your bike is secured with an ART-certified lock (minimum ART2 rating). For high-value bikes (such as e-bikes or cargo bikes), a second lock or GPS tracker may also be required.
✔ Always check if your lock has the proper certification
✔ Not sure? Just ask us — we’ll help you choose the right lock
⚠️ Without an approved lock, theft claims may be rejected.
What should I do if my bike is stolen?
If your bike is stolen, follow these steps:
- Report the theft to the police within 5 days
- File a claim with your insurer, including the official police report and both original keys
- Wait for the claim to be processed — insurers often apply a 2 to 4-week waiting period in case the bike is recovered
Depending on your policy, you’ll usually be reimbursed for the replacement value or current market value.
Can I insure a second-hand bicycle?
Yes, second-hand bikes can be insured, provided they’re still in good condition and their value is verifiable. Requirements may include:
- Proof of ownership (e.g., receipt or valuation)
- Frame number registration
- Some insurers insure based on current market value, not new value
We’ll check the options per insurer and handle the process for you.
