What does benefit bike insurance cover?
For theft or vandalism to be covered, your bike must be locked.
Vapaus' insurance protects you against:
- Theft of a locked bike — anywhere in Finland or abroad
- Vandalism — damage to a locked bike
- Accidents — falling, running off the road, or colliding with a vehicle, person, or object
How much is the insurance deductible?
When an insurance claim is filed, you'll pay a deductible. The amount depends on your employer's benefit bike guideline:
- Most common: 240-260€ per claim
- Some employers: Deductible varies (0€, 150€, or 340€) — check your Benefit bike guideline
- How you pay: Either directly to Vapaus, or deducted from your salary (we'll let you know)
Can I insure a bike that costs more than my employer’s limit?
If you lease a bike that exceeds your employer's maximum benefit package price, you've paid a downpayment. It is possible to insure the amount going over the limit.
