I'm from Florida--where you parked your bike for a while...


yes, it works for bike trips. they covered 100% of the costs involved when i was hit by a taxi in nicaragua back in 2012--even the post hospital costs. i buy an annual policy since i travel so much for work and family. although the policies i've had have exclusions for "extreme activities," they do not have exclusions for motorcycle travel.

There are several companies that provide evacuation, and maybe medical insurance such as Medjet Assist, Global Rescue, Allianz, and Ripcord just to name a few of the high profile ones that are routinely advertised on these forums. I've looked carefully at a few of them. You really, really need to talk to them and actually read their policy. The services that they provide are very different, and your expectation of what they provide may not be the reality of what they will provide. An actual endorsement like teevee gave is very good, but don't assume that you are getting the same policy and coverage. It's a real pia, but take the time to read and understand the policy before purchasing. There's no easy answer.
