Indian motorbike insurance
 
hello,
I'm Fench, going to India for 6 month with my R80GS BMW.

I'm looking for a motorbike insurance there.

Have you got any idea about this ?

Many thanks

third party liability insurance in India
 
Hi Pierre, as you probably know insurance in India is a bit of a joke, but the National Insurance Company will sell you a one year policy for Rs 753. There was no office on the Waghah border, I got mine in Jodhpur, but I think they have offices in most cities.
It is money well spent if it keeps you out of jail, but is no guarentee. The usual attidude is "this accident would never have happened if you had not been here, therefore it must be your fault" which is kind of hard to beat.
Drive safely,
Peter, in Oslo

Hi Pierre,

as above... if you can get it. We tried to get insurance in Puna, Bombay and Goa.
Always got the same answer: Don't insure bikes without Indian rego:(

We did without in the end. Police checks only seemed to be interested in our driving license... The real ones, not the IDP.
