Can anybody help with advice on insurance for a bmx collection , been in touch with our currant insurers , they asked the normal questions blar blar blar then they asked how many bmx bikes have you got , 20 was my reply the phone went quiet

they then asked for a break down and value

they then sh-t them selves , don't think we can help , then 4 days later had all paper work through for the renewal as it was due anyway , and guess what

in fookin big red letters NO COVER FOR CYCLES

w--kers happy to take the cash but don't want the risk , anyway any advice would be greatful guys ,

Cheers Darren

Yorkshire building society for me each bike to a value of £1500 no maximum number either which is a bonus

the key is

are they complete bikes to ride or

bike parts with value

latter the better, tell them that

"happy to take cash but don't want the risk"

isn't this the same with any insurance companies

I just rang up my insurers (castle cover) and told them I had four bmx's that are kept in the house, with a fifth one for riding. I told them they were collectables and they were happy to insure them at a grand each.
