Question biker-friendly Insurance Cº ?

Fellow Riders,

pls suggest me a couple of Insurance companys,with whom things have worked out well with you,for a limited three week insurance period in Senegal, Mali, Burkina and Guinee-Conacry.

Talkin' about 3 EU registered bikes ( Portugal ),and their respective rides.

thanks for bothering,

In the wind soon,

Mad Dogo.

Look into http://www.worldwideinsure.com

I haven't used them yet, but will buy a policy in the next week. 4 different people have highly recommended them. Since I am from the U.S. I'll be using their Travel Insurance for World residents. To get coverage for riding motorcycles you'll need to select Sports Rider Coverage. There are other options for UK and EU residents, but haven't check into those for obvious reasons.

Have a great ride!

For UK or EU residents there is only an option for motorcycle cover as a sport activity during your normal travels to a max of £5000 cover and max 62 days.

On the US site it's a 12 month policy but only covers 30 days of travel within those 12 months.

I have asked them for a specific quote for 6 month continuous travel through Africa...I'll let you know there response.

Additional possibilities

Here's another one.

www.worldnomads.com

They seem quite good and handle all nationalities

Then there's

www.specialtyrisk.com

I ended up going with these guys, instead of www.worldwideinsure.com, but I am not sure if they handle non-US residents

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
