Hello friends,

Posting here because the Trip Paperwork section seems to get less responses (wonder why??).

We are heading to South America soon and although we are fully prepared to do the usual song and dance of finding the place to buy 3rd-party insurance before/at/after each border, mentions on here of travellers securing multi-country insurance ahead of travel have piqued our interest.

Does anyone have details of insurers who can offer this (it would have to be online, we start in Brazil)? Happy to do the homework on any lead provided and then report back.

Also, it would be really helpful to have an idea of the cost?

Thank you in advance!

Further detail - if your answer is 'just buy the insurance at each border, it doesn't take that long/it's easy' - Yes! but for the reasons explained above + we have two bikes so it takes double the time + a recent example is travellers wasting hours between the borders of Brazil and Uruguay because they got sent back from entering Uruguay to get insurance, arriving at the office to find it closed for lunch, then an hour later getting an invoice to pay but could only pay it in Uruguayan pesos so they find an ATM but their card is declined but they can go to another ATM and get Brazilian reals that they then go to a money exchanger to get the pesos to then go to the invoice office to pay to then go back to the insurance office to get the insurance and then back to the border
= Time not spent living the dream
