Border Motorcycle insurance for Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina

Hi all, anyone here with experience crossing into Montenegro and Bosnia, just trying to find a quote for the insurance I need, as my current doesn't cover either country. Also, can I get them at the border? Thanks!

I bought at the border in July this year. Straightforward and not expensive.

Hello Carlos:

Welcome to the HUBB. As Tim noted, you buy at the border - every MAJOR border crossing will have insurance kiosks. If you cross the border in the backwoods somewhere, there might not be a kiosk.

See this post, it's an older post, but it explains everything and nothing much has changed except perhaps the prices: Balkans Insurance - Here's the story, with details & sample documents.

The insurance kioks at the main border between Croatia and Montenegro have gone, I was there a few weeks ago. Montenegro ( and Bosnia) have signed up to the uninsured drivers scheme in Europe so no more checks on your insurance status, just a stamp in your passport. As a result the vendors have gone so the only alternative now is to find a broker in the first town and try and arrange some or ride uninsured.

I'd take that with a pretty big grain of salt - meaning, I would not rely on that advice.

The easiest way to determine if your existing insurance covers you for any given country is to look at the "green slip" and see whether or not that country's symbol is crossed out or not.

If it is crossed out, then you need to get a policy specific for that country. If it is not crossed out, you are covered in that country.
