Insurance
 

Hi,

ned to get an idea about insurance for trip around south and north america?

Can I buy as I go, does the shipper of the bike have insurance to cover the journey or do I need to have a policy?

Heard so much about not bothering in the south, but in the US and Canada, whats the best way?

Thanks in advance!

Nik

Hello,
I had an insurance from a company called "united american underwriters - UAI". You pay in advance for a certain time and in case of an accident, you get all Police reports, pictures of the place and send them to the company: I had an accident and I am at the moment doing all the paperwork.
For some contries you need a insurance, but can buy them at the border, for others you do not need anything. We were just once checked on our trip, in Argentina. But since the Policeman could not read what was written on the insurance paper even my friend did not have a problem. He had no insurance but just the national green insurance card with him, which is not valid in South america. The ploce did not realise and we got away without any problems.
Have a nice trip
