bike insurance mandatory for Panama? + details for Belize, Nicaragua and Costa Rica
Hi guys,
currently we are in Costa Rica, heading south.
For Belize, Nicaragua and Costa Rica we had to buy motorcycle insurance (details below).
Those three I had expected, but now a buddy told me, he had to buy one for Panama, too.
Can anybody confirm, that it is really mandatory to get one for Panama?
Details for Belize, Nicaragua and Costa Rica:
For these countries in Central America we had to buy an insurance:
Belize:
1 day = 18 USD
1 week = 29 USD
2 weeks = 46 USD
Not necessary at the border, but police checked the insurance several times.
Nicaragua:
30 days: 12 USD
Neither at the border nor police bothered (two cop-stops: one lazy one very tough)
Costa Rica:
3 month: 6.736 CRC (appr. 14 USD)
Required for vehicle permit at the border = no chance to get around it.
cheers
Panny
