Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 74 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the friendly staff and knowledgeable customer service team for providing clear, highly responsive, and professional support during phone calls. Consumers note that the entire process of setting up new insurance policies and securing personalized quotes is extremely smooth, efficient, and competitively priced.

A few other consumers also mentioned that their renewal prices increased over time or that communication during dispute resolutions felt unhelpful and frustrating.

Had a renewal for £1317

Had a renewal for £1317. Went on line and got a quote for £442. Would have been appreciated if we had been told about this different policy.

Hi Ross. As discussed, the online quote you found was for a very different type of policy than the one you’ve had with us for many years. Therefore, we provided a renewal quote based on the requirements we have previously covered for you, which wouldn't have been covered by the online quote. We're delighted to have you with us for another year and are pleased to offer an alternative product that meets your needs. Stay safe, Team Pedal Cover.

Useless, didn't cover bike where I live despite one of the most secure places

Locked with two gold sold secure locks (150pounds each) to the strongest immovable object, in underground parking garage with 24h concierge, CCTV and residents-only access, in the building I live. E-bike was stolen (locks cut), and even though they cover a "hallway" with residents-only access, and even though there's literally a hallway leading up or the car park, with no additional security, they decide not to cover it.

Complaints procedure was no help either, so I'm now working with a solicitor to take matter to ombudsman. Any reasonable person reading policy detail would agree my situation is covered, company chooses extremely narrow reading to avoid paying out.

Hello Cristi,
I am sorry to read that you disagree with our claim decision and complaint assessment. We do not agree with your view that an underground carpark could be classified in the same way as a hallway. I can see that our complaint staff have reviewed your case and included all of the details you would need in order to submit your appeal to the Financial Ombudsman service. Yours sincerely, Team Pedal Cover

I got a timely reminder

I got a timely reminder that my insurance was due for renewal, it was easy to go on line and check the policy. I needed to make a few changes which was straightforward.
My policy after at least five years is still less than what I was paying before I moved to Pedal Cover.
