Avoid the DNA+ kit and now mega expensive

Never claimed in 2 years so can't comment on that aspect. Now there's much more competitiveness in the market highlights that this company's prices are now ridiculous and just not worth it. However I am really irritated about the DNA+ kit I received when I first took out my policy only to find out it is not transferable on termination of the policy. They think that because they state that they will pay for the DNA+ database to be maintained while I have a policy with them, that is enough info for me to know it could not be transferred at the end of the policy. The attitude of the customer service rep I discussed this just confirmed I made the right decision to leave. So I'm left with a bike covered in dots that are not invisible in all areas (e.g. on matt carbon such as wheels and handlebars) that are just useless after you leave (and obviously cannot be removed). At least be honest and highlight this up front...

[Edit post their reply below] I never asked you to continue to pay for the kit, you're just making that up... But thanks for including the statement from your website that proves you do hide this information which is my whole point. Oh dear...

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the review. The "Free" DNA kit that you get in your first year with our policy is only valid whilst you have a policy with us, we make this clear on the website - "We will pay to maintain your details on the database for as long as you remain a customer of Yellow Jersey". I think it is unrealistic to expect that we would pay to maintain you on their data base in perpetuity.

So in respect of your comment "At least be honest and highlight this up front..." we are.

The customer service agent that you had a online live text chat merely confirmed this to you so am unsure how you can assess his attitude based on his confirmation of the same, I am sorry it is not to your satisfaction but our policy is clear.

Many thanks.

Great service!

Jonathan and the team were responsive, considerate and a pleasure to deal with. My claim was dealt with swiftly. Would highly recommend choosing Yellow Jersey to insure with.

Yellow Jersey got me back on the road

Yellow Jersey supported me effeciently through my claim following a cycle crash.

My claims handler responded promptly and I have renewed my policy.

Excellent service. Recommended

My claim was dealt with extremely promptly and met in full. My claims specialist, Kien Dang, was efficient, friendly and helpful. They ask for quite a lot of documentation (I was glad that I always photograph my bike, locked up, when I leave it somewhere), but given this was a high value claim (newish electric bike) nothing unreasonable

Beware of Yellow Jersey 'off-loading' claims to CSAL

Yellow Jersey used CSAL (Claims Settlement Agency Limited) to 'settle' (avoid paying) my lost luggage claim. I took insurance for the 1 week's travel in the USA.
For the 1 week period of insurance my luggage was lost, I subsequently bought the essentials (clothes/ toiletries) & hired a bike + wetsuit, as I was in the USA to participate in a long distance triathlon.
Yellow Jersey wanted nothing to do with my claim enquiries & directed me to CSAL.
CSAL did their worst in customer relations, particularly with long delays in replying to emails (2-7 weeks!) & to do their best to avoid paying out.
I sent my 'lost luggage' claim in, only to receive a partial payment for bike hire (which didn't even cover the USA bike hire fee).
As my luggage arrived 3 weeks after the holiday had ended & I was back in the UK, CSAL treated the claim as 'delayed luggage', despite me having no luggage for the period of insurance.
As a person, who has home, car & travel insurance, I've not made any claims since 2008 (storm damage to home etc.).
I believe CSAL have deliberately used delaying tactics & other methods to avoid a paying my lost luggage claim.
Possible future customers beware ..
Other Info:
My luggage (1 suitcase & 1 bike-box) never arrived, was initially delayed, then sent on next day's flight, so far so good.
But luggage never arrived at my hotel, it appeared to be delayed/lost at the US airport.
I bought the basics of what I needed. As I was also participating in a long distance triathlon, I also hired equipment (bike & wetsuit) I finished the event (on ill fitting hired gear) & our group moved onto another city within the USA.
I kept in contact with the (excellent) staff at the 1st hotel, & 3 weeks after returning to the UK , the staff rejected the attempted courier delivery of my luggage, that had been presented to my hotel (I had checked out weeks prior) . It then took only a week for the luggage to return from the USA to my UK home.
It is months after the event that contact has finally stopped from CSAL & they consider the matter closed & I remain £1250 out of pocket.
