Scotland to Istanbul
 

I've long been planning a trip from the Highlands of Scotland (home) to Istanbul. The route is Belgium, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Istanbul. Returning via Greece and Italy. Ferries are booked and much money has been spent on the bike (Honda CBF1000) and equipment. Only trouble now is that I'm having problems finding insurance cover! Anyone got experience of this and recommendations? :confused1::confused1:

Regards,

Joe

Most of it is within the EU = no problem
 

Hi Joe,
If you look back through earlier threads, there is quite a bit of discussion of insurance in that neck of the woods.

Hi Joe,

I think that most of the Europeans major insurance company's covered Bulgaria,as a part of EC now.For Turkey you can buy insurance exactly at the border.
If you have further questions for Bulgaria,please just drop me a line!

Cheers,

Simon

I always organise my ordinary bike insurance through Carole Nash. As a broker, they have always managed to find me insurers with good foreign insurance policies. Insured through them I got insurance which covered me for the whole of EU Europe including Hungary, and got Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey added on to my insurance for a trip no problem. I can't remember who they insured me with but I guess if you gave them a call they'd be able to help you out. It might mean you have to cash in your current insurance, however, which will entail a financial penalty.

Yes to Matt's comments.

Carole Nash
 

Carole Nash have come up trumps with the insurance through Norwich Union. It's a bit pricey :eek3: but the cover is more important than the price on this kind of trip.:thumbup:
