URGENT - bike insurance on holiday

[ollie j]

Ok so here's situation:

flying to france thursday PM.
bike box worth £500
bike worth £3,500


Bike is NOT covered by holiday insurance
bike box covered up to £400 by holiday insurance (fine)

home insurance phone line closes at 7pm so cannot ask and need an answer asap.

how have people on here who have flown abroad with a bike protected against the following:
1. loss of bike in transit
2. theft of bike abroad
3. crash damage to bike abroad

which of the above three have you had coverage for? with travel/home/specialist bike insurance? and what was the name of the relevant company/policy please?

I have AA travel insurance and Santander home insurance.

Thanks in advance.

Is there anything worth looking at through joining British Cycling? Worth a look....
