Post by: Reyno on 27 May 2017, 08:00:55 pm

Off to Belgium for Four days, any recommendations for short single trip breakdown cover?

Does you bike insurance not cover you for breakdown?

I went on compare site, resquemycar was the cheapest. Unlimited call outs

Rescuemycar do not cover bikes over 16 years old in Europe, 2001 fazer 1000 would be borderline

Yes might have problems there, they ask the age of the bike on the compare site so should give you the ones that cover that age bike

Don't forget motorcycle specific travel insurance, and even then make sure it covers bikes over 125 cc. Most travel insurance wont cover you for motorcycle accidents.


Google is your friend here. I used QDOS last year, but I thought it was expensive at £69 for two weeks European cover. (12 year old bike, lots wont cover over 10 years)

Renewed my motorcycle travel insurance yesterday with Holidaysafe. I've used them for the last three or four years. Two weeks of the highest cover available for European cover (including Spain) £24.73

Yes, finding some don't like my 2002 bike, if I rode a totally neglected 3 year old bike I'd be fine! Lol.
Will give yours a try Grayo, thanks
