European Travel Insurance

[Luckypants]

Argghhh!! Just taken out travel insurance with Insure&Go, who do not cover motorbikes over 125cc without a policy endorsement. No problem, as I used them last year and it cost something like 17 pounds extra for bike cover for 15 days.

This year it will cost 58 pounds (extra!) for the same cover!!!!

So can anyone recommend a travel insurance company that will cover riding a motorcycle over 125cc and do not charge the earth? I need recommendations for companies folks have actually used please!

Thanks

With the Premier current account with Alliance and Leicester you get free EU travel insurance and can pay an extra £30 to make it worldwide. My understanding is that there is no restriction on use such as being on a Motorcycle, as I looked into it this year for going to france (In the car now sadly).

Kerry's dad has just opened an account for the free travel insurance as he is coming to france on his bike with us.

You also get the chance to open a 12% interest savings account for a year.

There's an age limits of 65 though j/k


EDIT:- Apologies, just been reading the policy booklet and it is motorcycles upto 125, he specifically rang though as I remember him doing it and there was no problems and no extra money asked for.

FS - NCI wanted 65 which is much cheaper than insure and go, but found that the AA were cheapest at 44. This covers two people for two weeks motorcycles over 125cc are not excluded.

Greame - the 125cc restriction is VERY common.

I just went to Carole Nash for holiday cover last year. They covered me and matt on the same policy. They pointed out the problem with the 125 thingy when i was checking the european breakdown etc for our trip, so I just covered my holiday with them rather than looking elsewhere.

You'll be hard pushed to find travel insurers to cver for anything over 125, like the PO etc

AA for me again. Tried a "free" one with my insurance company a few year ago. Got recovered eventually but a total hassle and and trying to recoup the costs when back home. The very basic help. ie recovery truck to a garage. I needed a 3 night stay in Bregenz to wait for parts. No help with accom or taxi or car hire. Thank feck my mobile was free calls.

AA sorts this all for you.

Very reassuring that, this is who we have gone with.

Getting a bit confused here. Isn't this a thread about personal accident cover as opposed to vehicle cover.?

We were with Insure and Go for our personal cover last year, so watching this fred with interest.

Yes it is for personal cover. Insure and Go want 5.50 odd per person / per day for riding a motorcycle over 125cc this year Pete!!! That was well over 100 quide for me and Claire on this trip. So they can Foxtrot Oscar! AA for personal cover this year were most competitive and I have double checked that riding a motorcycle over 125cc is covered.

Now trying to sort out European breakdown cover....
