Balkans insurance for EU registered vehicle ? How much ? How easy ?
 

Hey all. Has anyone recently been through the Balkans ? I'm heading there in a few weeks with an Italian registered vehicle.

Is it a case of getting third party insurance at the borders ?? Any idea of costs ?

Route is Italy (EU) Croation(EU), Bosnia Hertzegovnia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece(EU)..

Thanks , Ted

Hi Ted
Did Bosnia and Montenegro this June..... Can t tell u how much as I had a green card But there were insurance booths literally next to the borders. Montenegro s one involved parking up as u crossed thru and walking across the road to an office..... Loads of foreign bikes doing this. Crossed into Bosnia near Banja Luka, people without insurance were being directed to an office a few metres around the corner.
I think there is a Croatian company lurking on this site that does green cards for the balkens....... They often pop up and offer their services.
Enjoy

As you have free Green Card insurance with your local third-party insurance (EU requirement), you should be good to go for the whole trip, as long as you stay out of Kosovo.

True that . However some Italian insurers don't extend cover to all Balkan countries. Check your insurance certificate, and you should find which countries are crossed out ( if any ) .
Ps. Kosovo charges only 15 euros at the border for compulsory insurance... For a car, bikes must be a lot less.
