Travel Insurance contd 2025
 

Update on insurance Jan 2025:
On Tomcat's suggestion I checked out BigCat and all seems ok, the insure up to 69yrs and extended trips and only need the first activity pack for motorcycles over 125cc.
The only caveat that I could see that might affect some but not myself is only riding on roads no off road.
There didn't seem to be an activity pack that covered this.
Has anyone had experience with any others that allow big bikes?

I assume you know that by ‘roads’ they mean official roads whether they are sealed or not. I don’t think any insurance covers for riding motorcycles not on a road unless it’s specialised for something like motocross.
I’m guessing that it’s a bit like skiing off piste?

Correct.
Few months ago I got insurance for Laos and I always double check. As long as it is a road, even a very bad road, it is ok. True off roading is not covered.

I usually use Navigator as they are competitive in pricing. But I will check out BigCat for our big next trip.


One word of warning. Some insurances may cover motorcycling, of any size but… read carefully the contract or call them before buying. Most limit to only 15 days, even if you buy for months!
Best double check direct with them.

Funny how this thread is still going strong 20 years after I created it! Maybe I should celebrate! beer
