Insurance for Africa
Hi,
After months of asking this question I have finally found the answer so I thought I'd save those are intersted the hassle.
Alexander Forbes Insureance Agency ( http://www.afiaws.com/) based in London will insure vehicles for anywhere in the world - they normally do diplomatic and expat insurance but will do private trips.
I sold my old banger last year and have a 1 year old Landy which I intend to do a 4 month trip round West Africa in from Nov. I'm more concerned with a complete write-off or theft/fire than little dents which is why I've been after insurance. These guys are very efficient and I had an answer in two hours after filling in the forms on their website.
They only give premiums for 12 months but if I cancel the policy after the trip (4 months) they would only charge 45% of the premium (that means you get 65% back but this is in the event of no claims). They can do insurance for one or any driver and accepted "no claims bonus" from my current insurer.
Hopefully this will save you the 50 phone calls and emails I've had to send in the last 4 months.
Cheers
Mike
