What are you paying attention to?

- New value/current value: benefit varies per policy and age of bicycle (policy dependent).
- Battery & accessories: co-insure up to limit (depending on the policy).
- Own risk: may differ for theft or hull damage (depending on the policy).
Tip: do you have several bicycles? Then one portfolio/collective solution sometimes more efficient (policy dependent).
Why take out business bicycle insurance?
Theft is common
Especially with (e-)bikes and cargo bikes, theft can immediately be a major expense. Theft insurance prevents unexpected replacement costs.
Damage = downtime
Damage due to collision, fall or vandalism can lead to repair costs and downtime. Comprehensive cover can limit this risk (depending on the policy).
Business use requires clear conditions
When used for business purposes, factors such as multiple users, on-site storage and accessories play a role. We ensure that the policy and usage are aligned.
✔ For company bicycles, e-bikes, cargo bikes and lease-type use (situation-dependent)
✔ Theft and optional hull damage (policy dependent)
✔ Attention to lock, storage, battery and accessories

Frequently asked questions about business bicycle insurance
What is business bicycle insurance?
Een business bicycle insurance verzekert een bedrijfsfiets, e-bike of bakfiets die u inzet voor werk. Meestal bestaat de basis uit theft and you can expand this with hull damage (policy dependent).
Is an ART slot mandatory?
Often yes, especially with theft cover. The exact requirement (ART class type) and how to exit is policy dependent. Wij controleren dit vooraf.
Is the battery of my e-bike included in the insurance?
Dit verschilt per verzekeraar. De accu is vaak onderdeel van de fiets, maar voorwaarden en limieten kunnen afwijken (policy dependent). Bij duurdere accu’s is het belangrijk dit expliciet te checken.
Are accessories such as bicycle bags or child seats insured?
Vaak kan dat, maar meestal tot een maximum en soms alleen als u ze opgeeft. Denk aan fietstassen, krat, kinderzitje, display of extra sloten (policy dependent).
What is the difference between new value and current value in the event of theft?
new value betekent dat u gedurende een periode (bijv. eerste jaren) een hogere vergoeding krijgt. Daarna volgt vaak dagwaarde of afschrijving. De duur en methode zijn policy dependent.
Can I insure multiple business bicycles with one solution?
A collective or portfolio solution is often possible. This can be more efficient in management, prevention and claims handling (depending on the policy).
