Balkans insurance
Hi. I'm passing through the west Balkans on route to Crete, leave in two weeks. Will go through Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Albania.
Just received a ridiculous quote from my current insurers. Since I will only be there about a week, I am now hoping to buy insurance at the borders.
Anyone have any info on that: availability and price ?
many thanks

I'll be there at the same time and I was counting on border insurance - the threads that came up when I searched indicated that it was possible everywhere. I'll follow this but let me know if you'd like to meet up. I'll be coming from Greece and then wandering aimlessly for a month and a half within the Balkans.

Sounds like an excellent plan.
My timing is very tight (unlike yours, lucky you). I expect to have only five days or so to be in Bosnia, Montenegro and Albania but would be pleased to meet up.
I leave here 23 July so hope to get to Bosnia on around 26 July, then a day in Mont and two in Alb. More a quick look see than proper visit, and then I'll do it again with more time. Am hoping (expecting) to do some gravel roads in Alb.
What are your plans/dates ? We could sort a convenient place and date and then liaise by mobile ?

At the moment I'm expecting to be in Greece by mid-late next week to pick up a bike, then heading either through Macedonia into Bosnia or Bulgaria and Romania then Serbia. No dates are definite so it might be better if I get in contact with you once I have the bike and am mobile. I don't have a local number yet but I'll contact you through here once I have wheels.
Same goes for anyone else who will be in the region!

Alex,
I'm PMing you my mobile number now. I'm still in Greece, but will try to head to Macedonia tomorrow. Since you're the one with time constraints I suggest you just name a place and date and I'll try to meet you there.
