Europe Tour Travel Insurance

Just the typical eurotour (but with a heavy pillion!). Ferry to Spain then back through Pyrenees, Italy, Alps and France. Short ferry back to Albion.

Do we add cruise cover just for those short legs of the journey? Seems to double the premium.

All include repatriation and we have our separate GHICs.

Any other hidden catches I need to be aware of?

Many (most/less than previously) insurance underwrite for European cover. So many days. Depending on your insurers terms and conditions.
Since we are not in Europe it is all changed.

Contact your brokers if you can.
It's easier to speak to your NHS gp now though.

A ferry is definitely not a cruise, even if it's going from England to Spain...

With regards to hidden catches, presumably you'll be aware of the clause where motorcycle riding isn't covered; but just read it very carefully - it's bizarre what different companies consider to be high risk. Eg, some will forbid bikes below 125cc; others will forbid bikes over 125cc. Others don't like bikes over 1600cc... there's no logic

If you're into traveling in style without breaking the bank, it seems like a no-brainer. Personally, I'm all about finding those sweet deals that let me kick back and relax without burning a hole in my wallet. So yeah, if you're in the market for some upgraded travel experiences at a cheap travel business class flights, why not give it a shot? Who knows, you might just score yourself a fancy flight without draining your savings! Safe travels, mate!

I meant to add.

For the ferry/cruise.

Maritime Law is different.
You might find you are only insured per kg.

Best to check with your insurers.

Coz the kunts on here do not know the circumstances and details of your cover/policy.

You might need specific cover for the bike and it's acutrements.
And also for you and your 'heavy' pillion.
Cover for legal aid, recovery and turd party.

It's might not be inexpensive.
