What questions can I ask my homeowners or renters insurance provider?
Many cyclists mistakenly believe that their homeowners or renters insurance offers adequate coverage for their bicycles, only to discover the shortfall when they find themselves in need of filing a claim.
Most homeowners or renters policies have low coverage limits for sporting equipment, including bicycles. These low limits might mean your bicycle 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.
Are you fully covered?
To determine your bicycle’s coverage in your current policy, we've put together some key questions for you to ask your insurer.
