How is the premium calculated?
Last updated
Your premium is built from a short list of concrete inputs you can see up front: bike type, bike construction material, insured bike value, your location, how you ride, and the coverages you select. Nothing in that list is hidden, and every one of them is something you control when you configure the policy.
Those inputs are combined with an insurance score that helps predict future loss activity, the same underwriting approach used across auto and recreational sports insurance. We break that piece down further in what affects the price of bicycle insurance.
Which Factors Move the Premium the Most?
Insured value and location do the heaviest lifting. The value you insure the bike for sets the size of the exposure, and where you ride sets how long the riding season runs and how much theft and accident activity the area sees. Bike type and frame construction material follow, because a carbon race bike and a steel commuter carry different repair economics. How you ride and the coverages you add finish the picture.
How Do I See My Exact Premium?
Run a quote and the number comes back in under five minutes, with coverage available for purchase on the last step. Adjusting your deductible during the quote shows the effect on the premium immediately, so you can settle on the balance you want before you buy. The minimum premium for a Velosurance policy is $100 per year.
