International Insurance.

Hi there, we are using Alessi in the Netherlands for third party cover on our Australian Reg'd camper and we are now in the UK, heading to the US and South America next year. Pricey but easy to deal with and world wide! Be interested to hear if you find another company to compare prices!

Hi there,

we used Andrea at Thum for 6 months but found them to be extremely expensive. We got recommended Pierre at Sathers by some German overlanders and when we came to renew insurance he provided us with a much cheaper premium.

Pierre Gerardy
Sather's Insurance
Pierre@Sathers.com
Telephone : 805-644-8600 Ext110
Facsimile : 805-658-2347
Cellular : 805-207-7813

I have no experience of claiming with either but Pierre was quick to respond and understands the issues of travelling in foreign registered vehicle.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
