Travel Insurance policy includes 3rd party liability
 

Dear world weary overlanders of HUBB

I am a big fan of the website and the friendly informative members who maintain and continue to boost the sites greatness.

I have a travel insurance policy which covers me in the event of a 3rd party claim against myself for damage I may have caused to a person or property. I understand that 3rd party insurance is compulsary for vehicles driven in Europe. I am looking to purchase a DRZ400 in Southern Cyprus and ride to the North, Turkey, Bulgaria and onwards to the UK.

I have just landed in Europe after 12 months of riding bikes around Vietnam, Laos and India. The presence of law and enforcement is alot more present here than in Asia, I have only harmless and honest intentions with my travels and do not want to enrage johnny law.

My question is, can a person who is fully licenced and insured against 3rd party claims legally ride a uninsured vehicle that is registered in the sole riders name? Although the vehicle is uninsured the rider is completely insured for 3rd party damage/injury and is fully licenced.

N.B. No insurer in Southern Cyprus will insure a tourist without insurance history in the country.

No.

But as a big fan of the site, you can find sources for European green card insurance in posts made within the last few days. Try: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...opean-us-72122 .

Thanks Mark

I will search deeper into the forum to try and find an answer to my question.

But.....the answer to your question, which I've already given, is "no." And the answer to the question you did not ask, which is "where can I buy the insurance that I need?" is in the link in my last post.

On the other hand, delving deeper into the forum is always a good thing.
