Insurance!?!
Hi all,
I am starting a Europe, Middle East and Africa trip from the UK in July. I am a British Citizen but I live in New Zealand and I only have an NZ bike licence. I need travel insurance that allows me to tour off road on bikes up to 750cc and I also need motorcycle insurance.
I have spent days, no weeks trawling through the web and the Yellow Pages and I've got nowhere - either i can't be insured for longer than 90 days (I'm going for at least 6 months), or I can't ride a big bike, and it seems impossible to get UK bike insurance when I don't live there and don't have a UK bike licence.
I am at a total loss! Is it best to get travel insurance from NZ or UK and can anyone suggest a good company? Also, what do I do about bike insurance from UK? Can I transfer my NZ bike licence onto my UK car licence?
So far this insurance business has been by far the biggest ball ache of my planning. I would be hugely grateful to anyone who could give me any clues about the best way to go. I will be on my way in a week so I'm running out of time.
Thanks in advance,
Butch :confused1:
