Cycle insurance compare


Price comparison websites tend to encourage a race to the bottom. Insurance companies compete to offer the lowest possible price, usually sacrificing cover in the process.

Yellow Jersey work differently. We created three distinct tiers of cover –Essential, Performance, and Ultimate– with all of the features our customers needed, and then negotiated the best possible prices with our underwriter.

If you’d like to see how Yellow Jersey compare on both features and price to our competitors for some real-life customers, have a look at our bicycle insurance comparison examples below, or jump straight into a quote.

How are our bicycle insurance comparisons calculated?

Features with an * are optional extras. All quotes were correct when collected on 14/08/19. When collating our bicycle insurance comparisons, we worked hard to make sure we were comparing on a like-for-like basis. Where insurers offered their policies on a ‘pick and mix’ basis, we added features to make the quotes as similar as possible. Our example customers had an SE1 postcode.
