Sainsburys Bank are warning cyclists that even when their bicycle is at home it is still at risk of being stolen and should be protected accordingly.
Over 1,200 bicycles are stolen every day according to Sainsburys Bank figures, showing how popular they are with thieves. It is because of the ready made market for bikes and the fact that they are often easy to take away that the theft numbers are so high, something that Sainsburys would really like to see change. Having home insurance that covers the bicycle is one thing but it is far better not to have to lose the bike and claim in the first place.
Anyone with a bicycle is advised to not the make, model and frame number of their bike and take a picture if possible. Then they should check to make sure it is included in the home insurance policy. Sainsburys Bank remind policyholders to check for any exceptions to cover, so they know if the bike must be stored in a locked garage overnight or something like that.
Top UK retail outlet Argos works with Allianz Cornhill to offer the dedicated Argos Insurance that is available to protect the large quantities of furniture and other items sold by the retailing giant.
The latest development in the ongoing relationship between the two companies gives customers the peace of mind offered through a repair and replacement programme, meaning customers know that the investment they have made in their home furnishing will last a reasonable amount of time. Argos and Allianz Cornhill already work together providing insurance cover for jewellery and mobile phones.

Both parties feel that the provision of Argos Insurance cover being extended in this way will be beneficial to the consumer as well as the two businesses. They also see it as the continuation and progression of what is seen as a very good working relationship.
Tenants are being asked by Direct Line home insurance to make sure they have contents insurance in place and also to speak to landlords regarding home security.
It makes sense for landlords to protect their property with security measures said a Direct Line spokesman, especially since it can help reduce insurance premiums. It is also prudent for tenants to have contents insurance cover to protect their own belongings.
Many tenants are surprised when they find out how little Direct Line home insurance costs and feel much happier knowing their goods are covered. With the added security provided by the landlords actions too that figure can go even lower.
