Bike Insurance in Colombia
 

Does anybody know a company that covers liability in Colombia for 2 month? Its the law, I guess to have one.

We found a lot of Information we need on an earlier thread (19th May 2008)"Insurance shakedown in Colombia!"
Will look, how it works

If you want the real thing, then you can buy SOAT, (Seguro de daños corporales causados a las personas en accidentes de transito), in many outlets like supermarkets, (eg; Exito) or gas stations. Cost is COP 277,000,(Euros 100), per annum, but I believe you can get it for shorter periods. You can only get third party cover in country, but I have been known to get away with a an english-language medical insurance policy in the past.

I spent a long time looking for coverage for a short term. I went to the head SOAT office. They said it is ONLY available for 1 year. Anybody that is selling something for less time/money is selling you something else. (Maybe insurance for a bottle of aguardiente? Quien sabe?)

Like you alluded to, if it looks 'official' it will probably pass for insurance.

beware that the SOAT is not for material damage, only covers the physical part. So better still try to avoid running into that Mercedes SLK ...

we got 3 month(=minimum)for 69.000cop at Suramericana. They needed all the papers from the DIAN (custom). 20min later we were ready to go.
