Comprehensive bicycle insurance for your lease bike

KBC Autolease

Feeling secure while your cycling is important. KBC Autolease therefore offers comprehensive bicycle insurance to those who like a sense of security. We've listed the most important information for you below.

Covered

  • Theft
  • Damage to the bike or bike parts regardless of whether the damage was caused during a trip made for business, commuting or personal purposes
  • As from 1 January 2020, any accessories are also covered, provided the damage to these accessories forms part of a covered claim event to or with your bike

Not covered

  • Damage caused by wear and tear or lack of maintenance
  • Damage that has no influence on the use, like scratches
  • Damage covered by the warranty, or resulting from a manufacturing defect
  • Damage to the battery or charger of the electric bike if the bike itself has not been damaged
  • Damage arising from taking part in competitions
  • Theft if you have failed to comply with the required precautionary measures

1. If your contract includes bicycle insurance, KBC Autolease has taken out comprehensive bicycle insurance with KBC Insurance that covers you for theft and damage to your lease bike.

You can read the full insurance conditions below:

2. Do you have a contract excluding bicycle insurance? Then please contact your fleet manager.

  • City bikes
  • Folding bikes
  • Racing bikes
  • Mountain bikes
  • Electric (city) bikes with pedal assistance up to a maximum speed of 25 km/h
  • High speed bikes with pedal assistance up to a maximum speed of 45 km/h
  • Cargo bikes, with or without electric drive up to 25 km/h or up to 45 km/h, with pedal assistance

Contact KBC Autolease if you want to insure a type of bike not listed above.

No, according to Belgian law, if the high-speed bike cannot exceed a speed of 45 km/h with pedal assistance, it is not necessary to take out third-party liability insurance for motor vehicles.

If you’ve had an accident involving someone else, you should claim on your family insurance. We therefore advise you to check the conditions of your family insurance with regard to high-speed bikes.

Yes, you must pay a deductible or excess of 50 euros for each claim file (accident or theft) regardless of the type of bike.

Does your bike have damage that can still be repaired, but is not insured under our conditions? Then you can have your bike repaired by an authorised bike dealer at your expense.

Is your bike damaged beyond repair? In that case, we draw up the settlement statement of your lease contract for the bike, the options and the accessories.

Yes, you're covered worldwide.

Your bike, options and accessories are covered for damage and theft, provided that:

  1. you've secured your bike with an ART bicycle lock (category 2)
    If you leave your bike in an unmonitored location, you should lock it to a fixed object (fence, pole, bike shed, etc.). We therefore advise you to add a chain lock to your lease contract

  2. you have handled your bike responsibly (i.e. you've taken proper care of it)
