Help - medical insurance needed!!
 
dear all

I am trying to get some travel insurance that will give me medical and repatriation cover for a trip from the UK to Mongolia. I have tried pretty much everyone I could find and can't get any, usually because: 'the bike is too large'(since when was a 750 'too large'!)
; I'm too young (24); the trip is too long

Does anyone know of a company that offers good cover for people who are 24 and on a 750. I have everything else for the trip planned and don't want to reduce the length, wait until I'm older or go on a different bike!

thanks

Henry

Left side of web page - under 'Trip Planning' - 'medical insurance' or 'insurance medical'.

Try World Nomads

I tried the companies listed here before, and was deemed too young. Am aboutr to try Club Direct (new listing). Fingers crossed.....


henryuk 10 Jan 2006 22:32

Well, club direct were a no go, unless your bike is sub 125cc, I knew I should have got a C90 instead.......

I'll turn Frank's pointer into a link for you: www.worldnomads.com

Bikes are covered and all riders under 66. That's you. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/wink.gif

Have just got some, very cheap as well

beddhist 11 Jan 2006 18:13

Well, tell us about it! Which co., web site, how much?

henryuk 12 Jan 2006 12:58

World Nomads, £119 GBP sterling for:
$AUD5000000 Medical
$AUD500000 Repatriation
$AUD2500 belongings

my normal bike insurance (Carol Nash) is only 3rd party, but gives me 3rd party cover worldwide!

This is a lot cheaper than policies for other acitivites eg rock climbing that I have bought in the past, so am pretty pleased. I normally do quite well out of insiurance as I am a bit accident prone, to date I am up about £40,000 having spent about £300 on insurance, what a bargain!

beddhist 12 Jan 2006 14:43

Thanks for those details. Did you get a Green Card from Nash?

henryuk 12 Jan 2006 14:47

Green Card? Don't think I need one......
