Hi all
My partner and I will shortly be setting off on a long (i.e. up to a
year) cycling trip around Europe, which I am looking forward to
immensely, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding the right insurance
to cover us.
We'll be popping back to the UK to visit every couple of months, so an
annual travel insurance policy that allows for trips up to 90 days seems
like reasonable option... but I can't seem to find one that will let you
claim more than about £400 for a single item - a bit of a problem, given
that our bikes are worth more than this - my partner's (brand new ICE
QNT trike) is worth close to 2K. We're bringing laptops too, which
present a similar problem.
So now I'm looking at separate cycle insurance - still no joy. I can't
find one that will cover you outside the UK for a decent amount of time,
so I was wondering whether anybody here had any experience of such
things, or knows of an insurer that will meet our needs.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Helen
