Pedal Cover Avis 

helpful team, good value insurance

Been with this company for six years and had my best racing bike stolen from my shed. First they used the excuse that I could not prove proof of ownership, then they said I had the wrong kind of padlock on. Even though the thieves used bolt cotters to get in. Don't know what has upset me the most, the thieves who stole my bike or the insurance company who won't pay up.

Covers biking AND white water kayaking! Great for the versatile traveler

Kept me informed well in advance of renewal and offer the perfect cover for my needs.

Great team, I would recommend

We had a few questions for the team ahead of renewing our insurance. The Pedal Cover team we really helpful. They went out of their way to find out the correct answers .
Often when taking out insurance you just fall into an algorithm that decides yes or no but on this occasion we were assured that our insurance is based on individual information and adjusted to suit our requirements. Thank you to Rebecca for her guidance.

Easy to do. And it covered my needs for the my next adventure. Hopefully I’ll never have to claim anything, just simple peace of mind.
Hoping I’ll get a 50% refund as a no claims reward afterwards 😂

Having sent in a question it was a surprise to get a phone call from Joe at Pedal Cover, he clearly explained how the company operated and went through the process quickly and thoroughly. The price was very competitive and the website easy to use.

Quick and simple

Good service all the way through the claim

Fast and professional service

I had to knock a star off for the price increase (wishful thinking that it might go down).
I have used Pedal Cover for a number of years. In that time I have only had to make one claim when all my bikes were stolen out of my garage. Within two weeks the claim was settled in full, no quibble just solutions.

Incredible helpful efficient and accommodating to my personal needs. Joe was brilliant.

Easy to use website. It was not 100% clear what I was buying as the title of the product didn’t link to the table of provision but but it was still a very competitive quote for a good cover product. Very happy.

It was good to speak to (a) a human (b) someone who knew what they were talking about without any script. There was a query the Underwriter need to consider which they did so and applied common sense rather than the machine said no solution.

DO NOT USE!!!
Unwilling to pay out, refuse to pay out on a bike that had been sent off for inspection (that's a joke in itself), only for Target, whom Im sure Pedalcover are in hand in glove with, to strip the bike, then find more issues (allegedly) with the bike than first thought, only for pedalcover Kien and Jonathan to recite numerous emails to me, all of them made zero sense! And all had different values attached to them. None of which covered the value the bike was insured for.
I have now had to accept a value for repair plus parts, to replace a bike that they can source parts for, but are unsure as to when they'll arrive or even if they'll be the correct parts and can colour match but it may take some time - what?? Weeks, Months, Years?? ....
For me to then tell them I don't want the bike repaired, it'll never be the same. Oh no no no...can't be doing that can we....Now the bike according to them is un-insurable because of failed parts they can't replace??
So when I had the bike bike from Target, it was horrendous!! parts thrown into a plastic bag covered in oil, parts that should not even be in a bag regardless, thrown in anyway and now not working!! and then took my expensive hope brakes apart, with no retainer added so the pistons are exposed to said oil in bag and recklessly left open to close without a retainer in there. A set of forks wrapped with the dropouts exposed and then literally thrown into a bike box with the minimal amount of care and attention it had when it was sent.
So Stay clear folks of them sending anything to Target for repair or inspection.
Followed by an email today from their loss adjusters after me complaining, with a cut & paste of the email Pedalcover had sent several versions of - with different values...

So take from this what you wish. I have been with Pedalcover for over 10 years!! no longer!!!
They are not the original company I went with years back who would pay out instantly.
They will do anything not to pay, and you'll receive several emails from either Kien or Jonathan with different amounts, and not much explanation as to how they come to it??

The original Pedalcover was fab! great set of guys, some of whom I knew personally. Not this lot!
Stay clear!

I fear the ombudsmen wont be much better.

Needless to say I now have no bike, thanks Pedalcover.
Thanks for all your hard earned work on behalf of my payment ;-) Well done you!

They have definitely been advised not to pay out!!

Stay clear, spend your money elsewhere.

shame there's no minus star's on trustpilot.

Very friendly and helpful team who offer comprehensive competitive cover.
