Can anyone recommend a good insurance company for bikes please?

If you don't mind changing your home insurance try Marks & Spencer Contents Ins and name your bike as one of your specified expensive items.

I've got three named bikes on my home insurance (most expensive 2.4K), new for old, covered for in the garage, on the roof rack and even six weeks overseas travel a year. I'm buggered if I can remember who our insrurance company is though, I'll check the papers when I get home and let you know (I think the policy costs something like 250-300 quid a year)

House insurance is definatly the best way. They have the best ( read most sensible ) Terms and conditions and often you can get all your bikes plus the contents covered for about the same premium as a specialist firm would charge just for the bikes.

Prudential is the current BM favourite but by no means the only one.

For separat bike insurance, http://www.cyclecover.co.uk. About £100ish a year for £1800 of bike. Discounts for Datatag & insuring more than one bike with them. Also includes accidental damage & worldwide travel cover. Can include medical cover if member of CTC too.

Thanks to you all for the help.
