In collaboration with Alteos, Mantel offers continuous bike insurance for a fixed, low monthly fee. Your insurance premium depends on the type of bike, the price of purchase of your bike, your place of residence and your chosen insurance coverage.

You can choose between 2 standard insurance plans: theft or theft & damages. The available insurance plans and the height of the deductible may vary depending on bike model and price of purchase. The deductible may be a fixed cost or a percentage of the costs of the claim. This depends on your insurance claim, insurance plan and bike type.

Benefits of Mantel Bike Insurance:

• Can be cancelled daily
• Low deductible
• Automatic renewal for a maximum of 5 years
• If your bike is declared total loss, you can choose a new bike at Mantel

• 750X-752X

What is the insured value?

When you insure your bike, you and the insurer agree on an amount for which the bike is insured. We call this amount the insured value. For the wrong value, we take the recommended retail price as a starting point.

Why the recommended price?

• New bike:If your bike is stolen, you usually get enough money to buy a new, similar bike.
• No surprises: Even if you bought your bike on sale, you will pay as much premium as someone who paid full price. But if your bike is gone, you will get the full value back.

Example: You buy a bike for €500 on sale, but the recommended retail price is €700. You insure your bike for €700. If your bike is stolen, you get €700 paid out, even though you only paid €500.

If you've chosen Mantel Bike Insurance Theft & Damage, your insurance will cover theft as well as damage caused by, for example, a collision, fall, or vandalism.

Deductible in case of damage

Bike type	In case of damage
Road bike or mountain bike	20% of the damage incurred, at minimum €50 per claim
E-bike/City bike	€25 deductible per claim
E-bike/City bike battery	€25 deductible per claim

What is the maximum repair cost covered in case of damage?

Your insurance will cover bike repairs up to the price of purchase according to your bike's receipt, but at most up to the agreed insured value of €15,000. Should the repair costs be higher than the price of purchase of your bike, the bike is considered total loss. In this case, the insurer will reimburse you for the costs of a new bike of a similar type and quality (new value). Refer to the terms and conditions of the insurance policy for more details.

It is important to take the following steps in case of bike theft:

File a police report

Contact the police as soon as possible and file an official report. Make sure you know your unique case number

Use your GPS tracker (if applicable)

If you have a bike with a GPS tracker, notify your GPS tracker provider about the theft. They can help you track down your bike.

Notify us of the (theft) damage, with a description, within 8 days.

You can do this by contacting customer support or in one of our stores. Make sure to include a copy of the police report, as well as clear photos of your original bike lock keys. Photograph the front as well of the back of your keys of each lock separately. Make sure to keep the keys and any accompanying accessories, like the charger, until the insurance claim has actually been settled. If the photos you include are not clear enough, we'll ask you to send us the keys. In this case, you will have to pay for shipping, and shipping the keys is at your own risk.

We'll pass your claim onto the insurer. We'll notify you at once when we receive an answer from the insurance company. This takes a maximum of 10 working days.

You can choose a new bike at Mantel, worth the same amount as your stolen bike, if your claim is accepted.

If you've chosen damage coverage, we'll put your claim through to the insurer. In order to do this, we'll need a clear description of the cause of the damage, and an appraisal report. This report can be made in one of our shops. In this case, the costs of the report will be waived if the decision is made to perform the repairs. You can also have an appraisal done by your local bike shop. We can submit the claim to the insurance company with this information.

If the claim is accepted and the cost of the damages has been determined, the claim will be finalised by the insurer within 10 working days. Once finalised, simply make an appointment in our workshop to get your bike fixed.

Can the insured amount be paid into my bank account?

No, this is not possible in case of theft. Mantel Bike Insurance pays out in kind. This means you'll be allowed to select a bike of the same value as the stolen bike at Mantel. The value, in this case, is the insured value of your bike at the moment of purchase.

If your bike breaks down at the side of the road, you can arrange for roadside assistance or transport to your home yourself. If you've chosen Mantel Bike Theft & Damage insurance, we'll reimburse you for the costs of being picked up, up to at most €150 per incident. You may have at most one person with you. You can claim this reimbursement twice a year at most.
