Insurance abroad,6+ months.

Insurance abroad,6+ months.

Howya Lads,

Long time listener,first time caller!! Have a question regarding riding abroad long term.Have the Triumph on an Irish Plate and insured with Principal. I am starting a job in Mallorca which will have me there from April-Oct/Nov so 7+months.


Just spoke to Principal which said the max insurance term abroad would be 90 days. Apparently this is Industry standard.Don’t think there is the option to extend/upgrade either.Does anyone know of any company that might be able to do it?


The girl suggested getting insurance over there but surely they will not insure a bike on Irish plates.Wouldn’t fancy trying to go about it either tbh (no comprende senor) but open to suggestions.:lbhbh:


Dare I ask….if I just go down how will they know how long I’ve been there,assuming there is no accidents and subsequent paperwork requested. Just testing the water here please don’t Lynch me!


Also,if anyone has used any particular companies for transport I would appreciate any suggestions.Did get a quote which seemed reasonable,from Dublin-Barcelona.Cheers!!

Gary.
