Step by step

How the claim process works

  1. 1.

    Police

    In case of theft or vandalism: File a police report. If the report takes longer, report the damage to us anyway.

  2. 2.

    Report

    Report your claim online in your Karl account. It only takes a few minutes — and missing documents can always be submitted later.

  3. 3.

    Processing

    We review your report. With photos and documents it's even faster — usually within one day.

  4. 4.

    Approval

    We'll inform you by email or phone about the result.

  5. 5.

    Repair or replacement

    Go to a bike dealer: get a repair or pick a new bike. In case of total loss, you'll get an equivalent model.

  6. 6.

    Payment

    If the dealer is a Karl partner, we pay them directly. Otherwise, we'll transfer the amount to you.
