yes they do, I've used it. It also covered my ex partner on the same policy.
Apparently the Post Office have started doing it too, but you'd have to ask them, as last time I did research they didn't.

France - cash for on the spot fines and toll roads.

Spain - yellow high-vis jacket (might not appy to bikes).

Switzerland - motorway sticker.

Germany - don't mention the war or bailing out greece.


Take a look here: http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/overseas/atoz.html for motoring related stuff.

Switzerland, cross the border not via a motorway, then use the motorways FOC without a sticker, run the risk

You should have a sticker if you're going to use the motorways, but there are perfectly servicable minor roads if you're not in a hurry.

The Swiss are quite picky about people sticking to their laws. So I wouldn't want to give them an excuse to stop me and impound my bike.

Plenty of them do, but you have to pay a supplement. Cannot remember who I was with last, but I was covered for big bikes as standard.

Been using the Post Office for a few years for (big)bike trips abroad. http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/p...diaId=19500189 bikes under Sports and Activities.

Phone your insurance company to let them know you are going abroad and ask them if they do euro breakdown cover, a lot of them do.
