Claims Quick Guide

We understand bicycles and the people that ride them.

Our Services

Expert claim assesments

Bicycles can be as costly as cars, and without specialist knowledge, claim costs can escalate quickly. We leverage our extensive experience, industry knowledge, and network of service providers to manage this effectively.

Procurement and Repair Process

We utilise tech-driven procurement channels and work with reliable service providers and specialist repairers. We handle large volumes and pass the scale benefits to the insurer, potentially saving up to 50% on quarterly claims costs while enhancing customer satisfaction.

Loan Bicycles

We offer loan bicycles to keep clients mobile during the repair or replacement process, reducing cash settlements.

Client Experiences

We believe that exceptional service during claims is an insurer's most potent marketing and retention tool. We tailor our claims experience to your needs and brand standards, ensuring constant communication with customers.

Reporting

We provide detailed reports on turnaround times, claims costs, savings achieved, and customer feedback. We also keep your claims team updated on any industry trends.

Salvage

We handle the upliftment, repair, and resale, unlocking substantial value that further reduces your claims costs.
