All-round protection for bicycles, e-bikes, and other sports equipment

While you only need running clothes and a pair of shoes to jog, other types of sports require expensive equipment. What would a cyclist be without a bike, a snowboarder without a board, and a golfer without clubs and a caddy? If your skis aren’t where you left them at the restaurant after lunch or the frame of your racing bike is damaged after a fall, it is twice as frustrating: Firstly, because of the risk of an involuntary break from sports, but also because you have to replace the expensive equipment.

Your household contents insurance covers sports equipment – but not necessarily in all cases.

Household contents insurance protects all your household contents against theft and damage from fire, water, and natural forces. This includes your new e-bike, golf equipment, or other sports equipment belonging to your family or household. The problem: Most sports accidents or thefts don’t happen at home, but rather when your are on the go or on vacation. That’s why it is a good idea to expand your insurance to cover expensive equipment. 

With our insurance for sports equipment and bicycles, you can also cover loss, damage caused by yourself or a third party, and “theft away from home.” This way, you can enjoy surfing in Portugal or cycling in Liguria without worrying about your equipment.

You will find GICs for policies taken out before October 2021 in your myAXA client portal.
