" Just made my first claim and have been amazed at the support and service received. Want to call out Matt the bike guru who supported my claim, he resolved a stressful situation. Insurance isn't just about the fee you pay, it's the about the service you receive."
"Highly recommend - has been a very competitive monthly cost, and excellent service when I needed to claim. Laka sent out mechanics to collect and check my bike and I was able to get my custom-fit race bike replaced within a week!"
"Basically the hype is real, which in today's world of cost cutting, pretend-optimised, overly complicated engagements with customer service is great. It just works, in exactly the same way many other companies don't when dealing with them."
"I don’t really do recommendations but I have to praise Laka. I recently had an accident on my bike and contacted Laka. This was genuinely the most painless experience ever. If your bike is your pride and joy you must use Laka."
"Amazing customer service, quick, responsive and spot on. I couldn't believe my whole claim was sorted in 2 days with plenty of flexibility. Insurance solutions from cyclist to cyclist is definitely for real, I strongly recommend Laka!"
"Laka are literal bike-savers! My brand new Pinarello was stolen. Losing your bike is always a risk. When it happens it’s an awful feeling but getting a replacement of your choice couldn’t have been more easy with Laka and helped get back on the road."
