Sort out insurance...

Post by [email protected] »

So, I'm insured through CN and they've let me down badly (well partly).

I asked for them to insure me through Aegis but they said Aegis wouldn't insure my XT660R so they insured me with Aviva (several months ago) bikes are an XT660R, a K1100LT and an AJP PR5 Enduro.

Strangely though they insured a friend's Tenere on Aegis, but he doesn't have a small dirt bike (he has another couple of bikes on the policy, nothing risky).

Anyway... CN/Aviva can't give me a green card for Albania, Kosovo or Macedonia. But they can for Bosnia and Montenegro (at a cost of £55 for two weeks!)

I could insure my XT660R with Aegis TPO at a cost of £260 with zero no claims (since no claims stays with the current policy)... so that's not going to happen.

So, the option I see is pay £55 for a Green Card for Bosnia and Montenegro and buy insurance at the border for Albania and Macedonia.

Any other options?

Bad form and all that...

But I've found this:
http://www.lobagola.com/tours-and-servi ... rance.html

Which offers Green Cards, but not for the Balkans. Apparently they will 'soon'- but I'm not sure what 'soon' means.

Hi Stephen,

Recently logged to forum, after inmates from HUBB and ADVrider steered me towards Adventurebikerider.

Thanks for mentioning us.

We're going to offer all that is written on the website (insurance platform) from spring of 2017 (launch is 01.02.2017).
Send me a PM if you need any specific info.

Happy New Year (thumbs)

I use a German company and sort out my Green Card before I go ( much easier than trying to purchase at a border)

We had dealings with this company.

Excellent in all respects.

A few years ago CN did cover me for Albania and Macedonia--I think the issue is EU membership-or not. Just a word of caution--crossing into Albania by a less well used route might mean that you can't get insurance at the border--and then will have to hunt around on the dirt roads of the nearest town to find a "broker"
