M/cycle Insurance Georgia

Can anyone inform me if there is a facility where Georgian motorcycle insurance can be purchased at the Kartsakhi border crossing please? If yes, could you give an indication as to the cost?

When visiting Georgia in the past I was blissfully unaware it was a requirement, but ignorance is no legal defence!

According to iOverlander, yes you can buy insurance there but I have not personally passed through.

As of last autumn, Georgian insurance for a motorcycle was 35 GEL, or about $13

Posof/Vale border crossing

I will be leaving Turkey shortly and plan to cross into Georgia using the 955 Posof/Vale border. Just checking if I can by motorcycle insurance there and change money if anyone knows that be very helpful. British passport holder if that makes any difference. Thank you Adrian

You can certainly change money there, but better rates can be found away from the border..

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.
