An old chesnut...?
Hi,
Sorry if this is a bit of an old chestnut but I have done a search through the HUBB and found quite a few threads on travel insurance. The problem is picking a good company at a reasonable price.
World Nomads are by far the cheapest but unless you are from Australasia or N. America your trip has to include Aus or NZ (which mine doesn't, and I only noticed this after reading their policy document for 15 minutes!).
Next best seems to be STA travel but they want £260 for 8 months worldwide not incl. USA etc.
Having just coffed up £1600 for a carnet and £100 in bike insurance excesses and visas, IDPs, etc. etc. I'm getting really hacked off spending all my travelling money on *!%$ing pieces of paper!
Somebody please save me a few quid and tell me a decent, cheap insurance company that will actually cover me for bike touring over 125cc!
Matt
