How much should I insure my bike for?
The right amount to insure your bike for is the total cost of the bike itself, plus any upgrades or accessories you've added after purchase. This includes items like GPS systems, pedals, wheelsets, lights, locks, racks, panniers, and other cycling-specific gear that's permanently attached. While a helmet and riding gear are automatically covered up to $500, it's important to account for all other components when determining your insured value.
For example, if you built your bike from the ground up, the insured value should include the cost of the frame, wheels, handlebars, seat, and every component used in the build. However, keep in mind that your time and labor involved in building the bike cannot be included in the insurance coverage.
Insurance is meant to reimburse you for actual financial loss due to damage or theft. It doesn’t cover potential future price increases. The goal is to return you to the same financial position you were in before the incident. Velosurance’s policy ensures that your insured value remains unchanged over time, regardless of how old your bike gets.
Let’s say you insured a bike for $5,000 five years ago. If it was stolen today, you’d receive $5,000 minus your policy deductible. For partial damage, such as a crash, the repair costs—including labor—would be reimbursed at the retail rate, again minus your deductible. No depreciation occurs based on the bike’s age.
