Cycle insurance for very short trip around Mallorca

Post by barneybear69 »

Hi,
I'm flying out to Mallorca in April where I'm hiring a bike and cycling around the mountain range for a total of 5 days stopping in a different town each night (already booked). Flying home on 6th day.
Can anyone recommend reasonably costed insurance for such a trip?
Many thanks
Nigel

Do you want it to cover the bike or you? If the bike, then I would have expected the hire cost to include bike insurance. If you, then there are many options out there - I took out 14 day cover for France in the summer for less than £17.00 for just me. Just do a search and find the one that gives you the right cover at the right price

I usually use Holidaysafe. Very reasonable pricing and sports equipment cover can be added for a small fee http://www.holidaysafe.co.uk/

Check that the cover includes cycle touring. Most will include cycling in the basic cover but not if you are touring by bike - usually just an add on
