look for the ATMseguros in Santiago. I don't have the exact adres anymore,but somebody else here will be able to help you.
From Equador to Canada we did it without insurance.:innocent:

What did you do in the several countries which don't allow entry without buying insurance first? And did you really ride through the USA without insurance? Sheesh.

To the OP: there is no single insurance, and specific answers depend on what countries you're riding in. Start with Mercosur insurance, which you can buy easily in Santiago as indicated above--it covers the southern tier countries.

Hope that's helpful.

In 2 countries in Central America (costa Rica and nicaragua) we bought it at the border because we had no choice. I think we it was 17 and 35 dollars. It is very easy, the explain you where to go, you pay, take a few copies and ready.
At the border between Costa Rica and Nicagragua we took an "official guide" wich was not a bad idea, because there it is quite confusing. We tipt him 2 dollars.

Yes, we spend a month in USA, without insurance. Stopt once by the higwaypatrol, but they didn't asked for papers, :D
Btw, we wouldn't do that any more! :nono:

Hi Micheal,
I rode Chile early this year 2012) without insurance. A local biker I spoke told me " you dont need insurance for bike but car". For Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Peru (countries which I rode) all require insurance.

My wife and I will be in Santiago jan 9th. The bike air freight on the 8th. If you get the bike permit and insurance figured out before the I would love to know. We plan to spend some time in chile and Argentina then head north.

Are you shipping by air also?
