The Bikeleasing Employer Default Insurance (abbreviated as AGAV) is a special insurance for employers, already included in the Bikeleasing package. It protects companies from financial burdens related to a leased company bike if an employee is unexpectedly absent—for example, due to long-term illness, resignation, mutual agreement, death, parental leave, or incapacity for work. The employer insurance either covers the outstanding leasing installments or enables an uncomplicated contract termination in such cases. There are no additional costs for the company.
What does the AGAV cover?
Up to two company bikes per employee are insured. The AGAV applies in the following absence situations:
Long-term Illness
If employees are ill for a longer period and no longer receive continued salary payments, the AGAV covers the financial consequences.
AGAV Benefits
- Reimbursement of the agreed total leasing installments from the end of continued salary payment
- Maximum reimbursement amount: €5,000 per company bike
- The company bike remains with the employee and can continue to be used
Parental Leave & Maternity Protection
During parental leave, salary conversion is not possible. To cover this period, the AGAV offers two options:
Option A – Leasing Installment Reimbursement
- The company bike remains with the employee
- The paid leasing installments are reimbursed
- Up to a maximum of 18 monthly leasing installments
- The leasing contract continues
Option B – Bike Return
- The company bike is returned early
- The leasing contract is terminated
Not covered:
- Paternity leave
Resignation & Mutual Agreement
If employees leave the company—regardless of whether by resignation, employer-initiated termination, or mutual agreement—the AGAV provides an uncomplicated solution.
AGAV Benefits
- Early return of the company bike
- Contract termination without additional costs
Incapacity for Work
In the case of permanent health restrictions that make working impossible, the AGAV takes care of the necessary processing.
