EU cover

[englishpremier]

Has anyone come across any UK or Irish motorcycle insurers still offering like for like EU cover?

MCE used to offer 180 days like for like cover in the EU, so if you had comprehensive cover in the UK you would enjoy the same cover in the EU for up to 6 months a year. Any subsequent trips or time after this would be 3rd party only.

This has since been pulled. A scan of the usual companies doesn't seem to throw much up.

I'm planing on buying a new bike and will most likely be spending a lot of time in the EU. Being new, insurance against theft is important.

I think Brexit has a lot of them running scared, although there is no reason for it affect anything in terms of insurance cover for theft.

Looking on the CN website now it says "But all of our policies allow you to ride in the EU with the same level of cover you have in the UK (at least up until the Brexit date 31st January)." It was only ever 90 days also which is pretty poor really.

The second set of documents that you got with MCE would have been Green card cover the EU, which is 3rd party only.
