We obtained Mercosur + Chile insurance from a company based in Argentina which no longer does this however a search should reveal various possible insurers.

For the Andean Community we have insurance from Liberty in Colombia - this covers Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador and Perú.

We did some research on companies which might provide global (or near-global) cover and found one in the Netherlands however the premium was astronomical.

Try HDI seguro from Chile, it worked for me for the whole Mercosur area, about 160 dollars for 5 months

+1
but isn't that one of the privileges of age?

Thank you Alanymarce, hasuhasu92 and Howardxre for your input.

We ended up using DakarMotos as import agents in Buenos Aires so it was simpler to take out insurance with them rather than continue exploring the possibilities. They sorted it in the blink of an eye, highly recommend Sandra and Javier.

We used the following companies for third party insurance by directly visiting their offices/ agents, except for HDI which can be done online.

ATM - Mercosur countries (Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay)
HDI - Chile
La Positiva - Peru

I looked into getting insurance for Chile online and wanted to share what I found so far. Why bother getting insurance in advance? I fear trying to enter Chile from Argentina at a small border crossing where I can't buy insurance on-site at the frontier....and getting turned back.

CHILE
The HDI website has a page that discusses the requirement that foreign riders must have SOAPEX insurance. Not sure exactly what the difference is between SOAP and SOAPEX, but I'll take HDI's advice that I need the latter.

There is a button on the above that points to the page where a quote can be generated.

TIP: The form has a field labeled "Ingresa tu Patente". Google Translate returns "Enter your Patent". I checked with Google's AI tool Bard and learned the needful. It means "Enter your license plate". I can do that!

Here are the quotes (generated July 2, 2023)
30 days - USD $23.33
60 days - USD $33.33

Currently, I am still looking for the unicorn, buying Mercosur insurance online for Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia, then throwing in Peru even thou I'll will have Peruvian SOAT insurance when I start the trip. It's not clear if the Peruvian insurance will expire before finishing the trip in the Peruvian Andes. I'll try digging deeper into the HDI website and reach out to Dakar Motors...skip the others that appear to need a visit to their offices.

Hi Peter,

The insurance that Dakar Motos sorted for us [when they were also providing us with import services] with SP Seguros covers:
Argentina
Chile
Bolivia
Peru
Brasil
Uruguay
Paraguay

It saved us a lot of time and was so easy to set up with DM's help, we did it over WhatsApp. We provided credit card details and a direct debit was set up.

Perhaps you can try going through SP Seguros directly?

Happy travels
