Insurance and Breakdown

Motorcycle Insurance

All riders on tour must have valid insurance for themselves and their pillion riders in the countries that we ride through. Most UK insurers cover you for short trips by default, but this is worth checking with your insurer. A green card is now not a legal requirement for riding in the EU post Brexit but they are handy to have if you get stopped by a zealous policeman so again worth contacting your provider before you depart to to see if you can obtain one.

Many UK insurers will no longer provide a green card for Bosnia or Morocco although we know that Carole Nash and still Swinton will. If you can’t sort this beforehand then not to worry as you can buy border insurance on arrival and your guides will help you with this if you are on a Guided tour or we’ll talk you through it in your pack on a Self Guided tour.

Breakdown Cover

We require that all customers have breakdown cover for their motorcycles, this must cover repatriation of both them and their motorcycle in case of accident or breakdown. Ideally it will also include replacement with a rental vehicle if not fixable within 24 hours so that you can continue your tour.

Travel / Medical Insurance

We also highly recommend that you take out travel insurance that covers cancellation of your holiday in case you can’t make the tour due to accident, illness or redundancy before departure. This should also cover you for medical treatment in the countries you visit and should cover you whilst riding a motorcycle and include repatriation (are requirement for entry to some EU countries). Not all providers cover this so please check the small print.
