Motorcycle Insurance

Hi All,

I believe this question has been asked many times in the past but I am seeking a quick reply to purchase insurance for my motorcycle (650 cc).

I am now in Turkey and I bought a local insurance when I entered Turkey.

Next I am going to Greece, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Slovenia, Italy, France and Spain and I am looking for a 3 months insurance from Jul to Sep 2014 covering all these countries.

I am a non European citizen.

Appreciate your advise on the process and also good/reliable insurance providers.

Cheers,
Borneoman

Yes, it's asked many times, and there is an entire searchable thread here:
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...et-cheap-34822
There are basically three (3) reliable broker/ providers:

Mototouring - GreenCard insurance for non european vehicles
Green Card
TourInsure - tailormade insurance cover for you and your bike!

Read the instructions, pay and get the 'Green Card' insurance document from
any of them, preferably BEFORE you cross the border/ enter Greece from
Turkey

Hi CourtFisher,

Thank you for the information.

Will get the insurance sorted out before I enter Greece.

I have been e-mailing a few times to Mototouring to purchase the green card for my non European vehicle but they never reply. Anyone knows if they are still in business?

Thanks in advance.

No information that they are not in business. In business and reliable for
decades. Speculation/ guess that they're late to reply because it's the
height of the tour/ rental season, both domestic & overseas. Try a phone call.

Hi CourtFisher,

One Ms Gloria from Mototouring had just replied my email. It seems they never receive my application, so she is sorting it out for me.

I made payment of Euro 223 for a period of 3 months.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Cheers,
Borneoman

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.
