Motorcycling Abroad

With the sun shining and set to do so for the rest of the month, many motorcyclists are making their way via the ferries and Eurotunnel to the Continent to Tour in greater numbers. Travel on any Ferry in this weather and helmets and leathers are far more noticeable as is the preponderance of such attired road warriors to stand at ferry terminals discussing and admiring the glittering machinery that lines up awaiting embarkation. The Biking Season is on with a vengeance. 

With the European Tour though comes a more serious look at Motorcycle and Holiday Insurance Policies. A question arises with regard to incidences and accidents abroad - are we covered? It is essential that you check your Motorcycle Insurance Policy to check that you are covered abroad - most policies will cover you for Europe but there may be exclusions and limitations. But what about your Travel Insurance?

Most Personal Travel Insurance policies cap cover for motorcycling abroad to motorcycles of 125cc or lower. This means that there is no cover for personal accident, injury or medical expenses if you have a crash on a more powerful bike. This could prove to be very expensive in the event of an accident and together with your European Health Insurance Card you should seek FULL Travel Insurance Cover cover.

Holsure has specialist policies for those more competent serious motor-bikers. If you are travelling to Europe this summer, we have a Road Rail policy which is very competitive and covers motorcycling as standard. 

At Holsure we have a policy which has no limit to the size of engine you can drive, enabling you to go on full scale motorcycle tours with your motorbike, anywhere in Europe for no additional cost. 

Holsure can also insure your motorcycle/ motorbike for European vehicle breakdown abroad. Holsure’s European Motoring Breakdown Assistance policy is supported by Green Flag in a European call centres. We provide on-the road assistance, offer a translation service and even repatriate your vehicle to the UK. Both single trip or annual trip policies are available and cover your motorbike for anyone in your travelling party to drive. 

Holsure Vehicle/ Motoring Breakdown Assistance also has cover for sidecars at no additional premium.
