Italy, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania....
 

Hi,

Firstly my apologies - I haven't posted for a while as work commitments have, as ever, taken precident over my travelling activities :(

About 18 months ago I started to plan a trip to Syria from the UK. Down through Italy, Greece, Turkey and on into Syria.

Recent, er 'developments' have made this trip unfeasable......

So plan B is to get as far as Turkey, and then head back through Bulgaria, Romania (friends there) and then head home again via Hungary.

My insurers - ebike - don't offer cover in Turkey, Bulgaria & Romania. Can I buy insurance at the borders of these countries??

I have endeavoured to my own research, but am currently at work on the North Sea, where time and Internet access are both fairly limited!!

I shall be travelling on a '07 GS ADV, solo, and doing some camping along the way.

Some advice regarding insurance, Visa's, etc much appreciated,

Many thanks,


GB bier

Insurance is certainly available to purchase for Turkey at the border. I will pass on a warning given to me, ensure you inform the broker the cover is required for a motorcycle or you will be charged for a car (a higher premium).

When are you planning to leave?

bulgaria and romania are both EU countries - so your insurer must give at least the min level of cover by law.... most phone muppets at insurance companies have no idea!!

ohh and why not pop past turkey to georgia! well worth a visit!!

Hi Greasy,

may be Polly and Doug have more Information about insurance for these countries. They are organizing the HU Meeting in Bulgaria and running a bike camp in Bulgaria. Both of them a speaking fluent english.
(better then me :rofl:)

Take a look at: http://motosapiens.org
and scroll down:
"We have a new service now: we can provide motorcycle green card (liability insurance) for the EU, contact us for information"

I am sure, polly has some information about turkey as well.

Wish you a good trip! :mchappy:

Thanks to everyone for your replies and encouragement, will keep you posted bier

My partner and I on separate bikes recently included a trip of the Balkan's including the coutries you mention. We found Carol Nash insurance very flexible in terms of tailoring the countries needed
