Hello Snakeboy, did you ask at motorcycle shops? We got our insurance for mercosur countries in a motorcycle shop called Zanella in Bariloche. The insurance company is called ATM.
You can find more info and details of their main office in this thread: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...na-other-60391

Good luck,

Peter

Petrus,

It might be misleading when you say the policy includes Mercosur - I remember once getting a rider on my Argentine insurance policy for "limitrofes" countries - meaning a bordering country, not all Mercosur countries border Argentina. I was able to get an extension policy that included Bolivia without purchasing a new policy, but this only because I am a permanent foreign resident of Argentina and the same would not be available to tourists.... But, this was an anomaly so I did not introduce it here. I know many over landers who purchase their Argentine insurance via the ATM company - good suggestion for Argentine insurance.

Snakeboy, I said you can easily purchase insurance at the border or a few kilometers in country at the next city/village. I am sorry you misunderstood what I said.

Yes, I agree with Petrus suggestion to ask at an authorized motorcycle dealer - I know in Chile you can buy short term insurance, but the minimum might. be a 6 month policy - even the 6 month policy is inexpensive.

This might not help snake boy but I will be clarifying Mercosur coverage via ATM if it exists.....

ATM motorcycle insurance information for Argentina is available via web site : http://www.atmseguros.com.ar
office is in Buenos Aires, Argentina Florida 833 2nd Floor (downtown Buenos Aires)
phone 0810 345 6286 Web site states coverage is for all of Argentina, I could not find info about bordering countries but
will call ATM tomorrow and post here. I recall something about having to be Argentine or a permanent resident to qualify for "Mercosur" coverage. Not sure about this, will report tomorrow. This is interesting. xfiltrate

Thanks for the suggestion, it might be worth to check out if a motorbike store can help with insurance - or at least point me in the right direction.

Problem is that Im in Chile right now and I wont be let into Argentina unless I have a valid insurance....
