Clarion Cover Third Party Liability Insurance
Since 2018 Clarion Cover, Third party insurance is included as part of the £25 London Clarion & National Clarion Cycling Club membership package.
Although third-party insurance is not compulsory for cycling, there is a risk – albeit a small one – of causing damage to an expensive vehicle while you are on your bike. Replacing even a wing mirror on a £50,000 Mercedes is an expensive prospect.
Why you should have 3rd party insurance:
-
Protect against someone suing you, if you caused an accident
-
Saves you paying out the cost of damages you caused in a lapse of concentration
​​
How good is the Clarion Cover Third Party Insurance cover?
-
Underwritten by Royal Sun Alliance
-
Max’ cover £5million per incident
-
Anywhere in the world except USA & Canada
-
Covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme
​
What’s the worst that can happen?
-
Someone asks you to pay for the costs of damaging a car, or:
-
Another bike, or a personal injury to them
-
And you have to pay out of your own bank account
-
Accidents happen, don’t let it cost you the earth
-
One less thing to worry about
​​
What is and what isn’t 3rd party insurance:
-
It is insurance to cover your costs if someone wants to claim against you
-
It protects you against claims you might cause in an accident
-
It isn’t personal injury insurance (that normally costs £100s)
-
It is peace of mind
​​
What am I covered for?
-
Commuting to and from and between work
-
Club runs
-
General riding
-
Sportives, reliability rides, Time Trials (but not bunched races)​​
