Theft Insurance
In our years of renting bicycles, we've had virtually no incidents of theft or damage, although we recognize the prospect of mishaps exists. So we offer a means to insure your rental bike against theft and damage caused by accident for selected rentals (please inquire about this product for your rental as not all of our affiliates or agents provide this option).

This insurance costs €10. It provides the following coverage:

in the case of minor damage to bike or loss of accessories, 100% of cost of repairs
in the case irreparable damage resulting in the bicycle's permanent retirement, theft or loss of the bicycle, covers the replacement cost for the bike and accessories less a 600 Euro deductible fee for standard bikes and 900 Euro deductible for Titanium bikes
please note that third-party liability, medical costs, and any other incidental costs that result due to rental bike damage or theft / loss of the rental bike are not covered.

Many home-owner policies and some car insurance policies provide coverage against incidental theft and damage while the insured is traveling; please check your policy to see if this is the case.
