A must-have for riders

My bike flew off the rack on the highlway. It was total loss, damaged beyond repair. I dreaded dealing with insurance but Velosurance made it painless. Filed my claim, emailed a few photos, and had a check in hand in 10 days. No runaround, no hassle. I've been on the fence about bike insurance but never again. Highly recommended.

Paid out in a week!

My bike was stolen right off the Sound Transit bus rack. I was on the bus and there was absolutely nothing I could do. I called Velosurance right away and they walked me through the process. They asked me to provide a police report, which I did, and submitted a copy with my claim. Within a week, I was paid out. One week! I couldn't believe how smooth and stress-free it was during what was honestly a really frustrating situation. If you ride and you're not insured with Velosurance, do yourself a favor and sign up. These folks truly have your back.

Seamless and efficient

After thieves broke into our shed and stole two brand-new e-bikes, Velosurance made a tough situation so much easier. A representative walked me through the claims process, that required filing a police report, and once I submitted the report by email, an investigator called that same afternoon. Just a week later, the check arrived. It was the most seamless, stress-free insurance claim experience I’ve ever had.

Velosurance is a Sacm

Velosurance is a pure scam with fake reviews. The are an acting agent for Markel Group. Markel is notorious for not paying claims. Even when your claim is proven they will send you a disclaimer its inconclusive and not pay. Do not buy Velo!!

We take every claim seriously and thoroughly investigate each reported loss. In this case, the client refused to cooperate with the claims investigation, which is a clear requirement for reimbursement under the policy.

Poor renewals

This company sells Markel insurance. Renewal notifications come from Markel directly, but if you try to login to Markel's site, they tell you to call a phone number and has poor hours. I forgot that I purchased insurance through Velosurance because I'd only gotten Markel notifications for years. Policy cancellation has to be done through Velosurance not Markel so my policy renewed when I didn't want it.

Initially wrote a positive review when I was assured my cancelled policy refund was being processed and mailed. It is now a month later and I learned that the refund hasn't even been mailed yet. Very poor customer service. Will never do business with them again!

When the client requested a policy cancelation, a refund check was mailed to the policy address. When the refund check was not received, the client told us he had moved it and corrected the address. The initial check was canceled, and after a 30-day waiting period to confirm the check had not been deposited, a replacement check was mailed to the corrected address.

Velosurance - Protect your bikes

I have had my bikes insured through Velosurance for 4 years. Recently had a damage claim on a mountain bike. Could not be more pleased with the process and the support I received. Would recommend this company for anyone who has a substantial investment in their bikes.

EDIT: Thank you to the person who responded for perfectly illustrating what dealing with Velosurance is like. Zero concern or respect for the customer.
---
Velosurance / Markel has not processed policy cancellation despite multiple requests. Additionally, they've continued to bill me after confirming that my policy cancellation was processed. Additionally, they're billing me extra for a minimum premium that I believe in good faith was satisfied much earlier.

This client cancelled his policy before the minimum earned premium was collected and thus had a balance. An insurance policy is a legal contract and it is impossible to purchase one without agreeing to the terms and conditions that clearly outline the $100 minimum earned premium requirement.

No Refund After Cancelling Policy

I cancelled my policy a month ago and have still not received a refund. When asked about the refund I was given a date that it would be mailed out. After waiting over two weeks after that they then said that the check might be lost. I contacted Markel (who actually handles the policy and not Velosurance) because that seemed unlikely and they informed me that because of how the cancellation was processed that no refund was ever generated or check mailed out. Markel is investigating now. Upon letting Velosurance know they said they did everything correct but would check again but I do not have much confidence in them because of the initial incorrect information. Also, in this process their representatives said I would receive a call back which never occurred only to discover an email in its place that said they fulfilled their responsibilities and the refund is on Markel. The policy was purchased from Velosurance so I expected them to handle it without the runaround.

Unfortunately our underwriter had a system glitch. You alerting us has triggered an investigation and the issue was resolved, and your check mailed within a week. We understand your frustration and appreciate your patience. Thank you for being a client and we’re sorry we’ve disappointed you.

Bike insurance with Velosurance

I have insured my bikes with Velosurance for 10 years and had to make two claims. Once I damaged my wheels on vacation, the second I was hospitalized after a massive crash. They were incredibly responsive both times, and made a stressful time incredibly easy. I wish all insurance in my life were like this.

Great bike insurance

I had my e-bike stolen 2 months after purchasing it. The claim process was straightforward and their customer service was phenomenal. I also love how easy it is to manage an account with all the information on their online portal. Highly recommended for bike owners!

The best insurance company

These guys are the absolute best. Took care of the claim in no time. Covered everything. The whole process was as smooth as you could expect and hope for. Don’t think twice, this is my insurance company for my bike for life.

Excellent coverage and claim processing!

I had a claim following a bike crash, for bike repairs, bike shorts, and helmet. While I was focused on my own recovery, Velosurance quickly processed the claim, allowing me to return to cycling without any hassle. Their initial sign up was easy and their pricing was better than I could do through my homeowners or any other provider. The people I dealt with were knowledgeable and friendly. I’d highly recommend Velosurance to anyone who owns a bike.

I purchased coverage on my ebike mainly for the theft protection. After being in a accident the company was very timely in reimbursing me for my covered medical expenses & bike repair costs.

I love that Velosurance offers worldwide coverage for my bikes. It always gives me peace of mind to know that they are covered. I never want to have to use it but when my bike got damaged on a recent trip to Peru, I had to make my first claim. The whole process was easy and the staff was very helpful. Thank you Velosurance!
