Travel Insurance with bike cover

Al · Post by Al » Sat Apr 02, 2016 3:05 pm

Our usual travel insurance provider has stopped including cover for riding anything bigger than 125cc whilst on holiday, just wondered if anybody had any recommendations before I start trawling the internet as its a pain putting details in over and over.
Thinking about going to Laguna for WSB and maybe do a bit of the coast road on a bike and the mountains in northern Thailand later in the year.

Found Aviva competitive on price and they cover the bike providing it is your mode of transport from the uk.

OOOPs! next time I'll pay more attention. Didn't read the last line

Marks & Spencer.

Very easy to understand policy booklet, and underwritten by AXA

The travel insurance policy sold by Carole Nash is also an Axa product. It also covers your riding gear.

The travel insurance which is is a freebie part of my Nationwide current account rather unhelpfully does not cover riding large motorbikes hence why I end up buying a specific policy. I have also used the Post Office travel insurance policy.

Yes - Post Office is slightly cheaper than M&S, but I prefer the policy booklet of M&S.

"Free" insurance should be looked at carefully - there is a reason why it is free.

Carole Nash are the biggest bunch of Fcukwits I have encountered, and even given the benefit of the doubt - are scamming bastards.

Check out BMW travel insurance (most importantly - that they cover bike holidays). Could be a good deal

I did mine through the AA last year, found them far cheaper than anywhere else. Might be worth a look!
