Insurance, insurance, insurance
Hi all,
This might seem a topic that has been covered a lot, but as a new member and someone who has spent a lot of time going through the threads, I am still a bit confused. Need some help from y'all. I am in the UK.
Should I bother with getting insurance for an African - possibly RTW - trip in the UK or get it at the borders?
I have had quotes ranging from £250 to £700 for my '08 F800GS with all including the green card and insurance for Morocco. The variance is for the duration you are allowed to go: between 30 and 90 days a year depending on insurance. This is through standard insurance routes and all say they can't do African insurance.
- I am leaning towards only getting Europe and Morocco insurance and worrying about the rest at boarders. Anyone had any really bad experiences?
- Is it worth going through to an underwriter to get a comprehensive trip insurance or is it just too expensive and timely?
Please note, this is for Motorcycle Insurance, NOT medical or travel. These I have sorted through the excellent HUBB postings and some really good stories.
Help wanted from a poor lost soul in the myre of the insurance question...now back to my beautiful new aluminium wrench-cum-tyre iron for which I am in trouble for buying!
Happy to meet up for a chat with any Africa experts if in London...payment in  !
Cheers,
Hans
