741.00 EUR for 3 month green card from lobagola seems excessive. A year ago I purchased 2 month one locally for 120Euro. And it appears on Turkish border it costs 118 EUR for 3 month: Türkiye Turing ve Otomobil Kurumu

Hi Sandro,

Prices of the policies are not made by us but by Croatian automotive club, which is defining prices on yearly base.

Same thing works for every country in EU and in middle east, Africa, etc.

Please do not mix EU and Turkey border insurance, because for people with foreign plates (non EU, or non Turkey) these are two different border insurance policies.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Cheers
Dooby

Lobagola/Dooby recommendation

Hi all,

Just a quick note to recommend Lobagola.com for insurance and the service Dooby provides. We weren’t an easy case to sort out, given multiple nationalities, African registered bikes and already being on the road. However, Labagola/Dooby was super helpful, always quick to reply and answered our literally hundreds of questions. 10/10 would recommend.

Thanks Dooby

Dear Mr Kongsbak,

It is possible to submit you a third party liability insurance, the Frontier Insurance (Grenzversicherung).

The rate is: 22,00€/month.

Therefore we will be pleased if you can transfer us your payment for an amount of 132€ by bank credit transfer to the enclosed indicated account:

Kontonr. 0038/4021-4
IBAN: LU30 0019 0038 4021 4000
BIC (SWIFT): BCEELULL
Banque et Caisse d'Epargne de l'Etat.

As soon as we receive your payment we will transfer you the insurance policy by post.

We will be pleased if you let us know your travel dates, your complete address and transfer us the registration papers of your car and a copy of your identification card.

For further questions do not hesitate to contact us.

Stefan's Green Card rates are up to 205 Euro/month. It does cover many countries though.
ARISA is no longer issuing private Green Card Insurance as of 30 June 2017.
Motorcycle insurance is getting very expensive in the EU.
I may be getting a Eurailpass instead.

Angry Affordable EU Green Card

Motorcycle insurance rates for non-EU residents are going through the roof. ARISA which offered reasonable rates (not exactly cheap) at 105Euro/month is no longer issuing Green Card Insurance. Most companies are now charging upwards of 200 Euro/month which is more than I pay yearly for all my motorcycles in FL.
Wonder if anyone has a lead on where to obtain affordable coverage while riding in the EU.

As a senior on a fixed income I may be forced to buy a Eurailpass for my future trips within the EU.

Thumbs up Lobagola really helped us out

Hey all,

Just want to add that the insurance service Lobagola provides for Europe was incredible -- we were traveling across West Africa towards Europe and needed insurance once we entered Spain. Dooby with Lobagola gave us the best advice about which plans to get, when to get it and where to get it delivered to. It was there on time and worked perfectly. Would 100% recommend!

Safe travels

Drmoto thanks for sharing Peter's info, appreciate it.

Can you confirm this is for both motorcycles and cars/expedition vehicles that are owned by private persons?
I am asking because some of my friends expedition travelers intend to use them this year when they retrieve their expedition rigs/4x4 from customs in Europe? They route is to go across Europe and then Africa.

Appreciate for the info,

Cheers
Dooby

Through this thread you can follow our contribution and what green card insurance service we provide for three years now.
Search Dooby and Lobagola and let me know if you have any questions.

Thumbs up +1 Motosapiens for EU Green Card Insurance

+1 for Ivo and crew at Motosapiens (www.motosapiens.org) in Bulgaria for EU Green Card Insurance. I got it for my Australian registered R1200GSA this week.

Excellent service, prompt detailed responses to all my questions and half the price of others offering same insurance. 60 Euro for 1 month.

Paid on a Wednesday, received scanned copy on Sunday and received paper copy on the Monday to my house in Germany.

Thanks again Ivo!

Grahams.
What kind of insurance are you looking for? If it is Third Party, like Green card in Europe, you buy it cheap at every border post. Close by there will be an office or perhaps in the first large service station.


Ali.
