Global bicycle insurance

Most specialist bicycle insurance brands do offer worldwide coverage , but typically as an add-on option or with specific time limits rather than an automatic year-round blanket everywhere. Also, "global" coverage usually applies strictly to theft and physical damage to the bike (including transit/airline damage), while rider liability and personal medical coverage often remain restricted to your home country.[velosurance.com](https://velosurance.com/faq/add-international-coverage/)[[2](https://velosurance.com/faq/international-coverage)](https://velosurance.com/faq/international-coverage/)

Top bike insurance brands that provide international/worldwide travel coverage include:

• Velosurance (US/North America): Their standard policy covers the US and Canada. However, you can add an optional Worldwide Coverage endorsement (roughly 10% prorated of your annual premium) which extends physical damage, crash, and theft protection globally when traveling or shipping your bike abroad. Note that liability and medical gap extensions do not cross international borders.[velosurance.com](https://velosurance.com/international-bike-insurance/)[[2](https://velosurance.com/faq/international-coverage)](https://velosurance.com/faq/international-coverage/)[[3](https://velosurance.com/international-bike-insurance)](https://velosurance.com/faq/add-international-coverage/)
• BikeInsure (US): Provides worldwide coverage for riding, racing, or traveling internationally when you are enrolled under their Bike Race Insure (Competitive) category. It covers repairs or replacement value worldwide minus the deductible if a covered accident occurs.[velosurance.com](https://www.bikeinsure.com/faq/does-bike-insurance-cover-international-travel)
• GCN Insurance (Global Cycling Network): Offers an optional Worldwide Coverage add-on that lets you protect your bicycle while traveling outside your home country (such as the US) for up to 90 days per trip, which also wraps in optional event/racing cover.[velosurance.com](https://insurance.globalcyclingnetwork.com/usa)
• Laka (UK/Europe): Offers collective bicycle cover that can include worldwide travel protection for transit, bike theft abroad, and international sportives/events typically for up to consecutive day limits (e.g., 120 days) depending on your exact plan tier.[velosurance.com](https://laka.co/gb/glossary/worldwide-travel-insurance)[[2](https://velosurance.com/faq/international-coverage)](https://laka.co/gb)

Crucial check: Always review the policy fine print for maximum consecutive days abroad (often capped at 60 to 120 days per trip) and remember that you will still need a local police report filed in the foreign country if your bike is stolen abroad.[velosurance.com](https://laka.co/gb)[[2](https://velosurance.com/faq/international-coverage)](https://insurance.globalcyclingnetwork.com/usa)[[3](https://velosurance.com/international-bike-insurance)](https://velosurance.com/faq/add-international-coverage/)

If you'd like to narrow this down, let me know:
