Wrong about the Post Office.

The Post Office cover touring abroad on motorcycles of any capacity. (read the not so small print)

I have been using their single trip basic travel insurance for years.

I stand corrected Last time I went to them they didn't. Which is why I went to my bike insurer instead.

Travel insurance, now i remember, we did take it out for our trip, i mean it costs about 30 quid and i reckon you would have to be silly not to have it.

I just got my travel insurance on friday for a short euro trip in June. Got it through M&S in the end. Its through AXA. Was a whopping £18 cheaper than carole nash for the same period of cover, who also used AXA, and paid out more in the event of a claim.

For 8 days in Europe it was £17 something, with the indepent traveller option it was £23.33. CN wanted £36 something.

The M&S covers motorcycling as long as you hold a current full UK license.

Got a feeling the 'ring wont be included tho
