    Hi All,

    I’m planning to hire a bike from http://bikesviva.com/www/?page_id=98 next week but notice they have some hefty penalties if the bike is damaged or stolen.

    Playing on the safe side I was looking for some insurance cover but struggling to locate any. I have emailed them this evening to see if they offer a solution I can pay extra for BUT …

    does anyone know of options I can arrange separately?

    Many thanks

    Paul

    Hi Watlina,
    Thanks for this
    Hi Watlina,

    Thanks for this advice. Feel a lot more comfortable. I will take out the additional cover and much happier.

    I don’t think the cover includes theft.

    I hired a nice Scott CR from
    I hired a nice Scott CR from viva:cycling while we stayed at the Viva Tropic in Alcudia for a week last year. I’m sure I only paid about £10 extra for the full insurance for the 4 days I had the bike.

    edit: just looking at the viva hire terms page shows
    7.All rental bikes come with a third party damage insurance.
    8.You can opt for an damage bike policy with a cost of 1’5 euros/day.

    I didn’t pre-book anything just sorted it out when we got there but we went in May when it was a bit quieter.

    The guy I dealt with was very helpful and had no problem with me fitting my own pedals and Garmin GSC-10.

    They had a separate bike storage room but I found it easier to keep the bike in the hotel room so I could get out nice and early. Although the wife tended to disagree about the bike storage location 😉
