Euro Tour Insurance

In a few weeks time, I'll be going on another Euro Tour.

The weather in Spain & Portugal is going to be quite HOT, so for this year’s tour, I'm going on the Triumph Thunderbird.

I've had a few quotes for travel insurance:

AA @ £15.93 & Post Office @ £27.58

I'm handy with spanners & maintain all my bikes, however it's impractical to carry sufficient tools & parts for all eventualities!

On previous tours, I've not taken out any breakdown cover, however since the Triumph is twelve years old, I've received a few "single trip" quotes for consideration:

AA  @ £161.73

RAC @ £129.91

Green Flag @ £99.85

Can you please recommend alternatives?

Ultimately, the level of service is more important than cost considerations.

Thank you in anticipation.

Hi HL

Thanks very much for the link for breakdown cover. :smile

I've read through many policy doc's, together with the T's & C's and have concluded that there is far too much wriggle room in favour of the insurance provider. In the event of a claim, many providers require that the policy holder pays costs as they arise; however in order for a claim to be considered valid. costs must be reasonable & not excessive. Furthermore, the vehicle must have been maintained in accordance with the respective manufacturers recomendations. I do more; so effectivly, you're dammed if you do & dammed if you don't! :blink:

:smile
