It's our time for renewal shortly and Nationwide has come up reasonably compared to our existing provider. Has anyone any experience of using them for cover, and if so have they been any good to deal with (either for home or bike related mishaps)? I realise this is a thrilling topic for a summer evening, so any comments appreciated.

Aviva Plus

I think they may have changed their t&c's since (and maybe because of) my claim. New for old. No max on bike value.

Nationwide handled our burglary really well, everything was dealt with promptly and I didn't have to do much at all. In our case it was a few jewellry items which they offered to recreate.

Cool to hear the above, thanks. I'll check out Aviva too based on the above, but useful to see that Nationwide seem to be decent if you have to deal with them too. Off out for a spin to catch the last hour of light but will check back in later, thanks.

With mine they (Aviva Plus) now say the bikes have to be locked to a fixed point and that I have an alarm in the garage (alarm due to amount of last claim).

Same here, added my bike in the garage and because of the value the Aviva underwriters added this stipulation to my policy
