Beemer1150 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Hey, what's going on? Everything I've heard said that bike insurance in France was cheaper than the UK - and here I am looking at a quote for 465€ for an old git on a Beemer with an IAM ticket! I was paying less than £200 in the UK (and that included my winter hack)!The quote was from Generali, they were great for the camper van and OK (about UK level) for the car, but 465€ for the bike...?Suggestions please, bearing in mind that I speak French like the proverbial Spanish cow at the moment (don't hassle me - I'm learning as fast as I can).Mike - grey but not Zimmered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I don't have a bike anymore, but when I first came to France I paid about 4 times as much to insure a 500 Yam.All insurance is a rip-off in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer1150 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Thanks everyone - I now have a much more realistic quote from AMVA question tho'...Can anyone please explain in layman's terms the difference between Dommage Collision and Dommage Accident ,Tous Risques, in AMV policies? My French isn't too good yet, but if I read it correctly Dommage Collison provides cover for the bike in accidents with an identifiable third party - does this mean that if you bin it without hitting anyone else you're not covered for damage to your own bike but if you have Dommage Accident you are?Any assistance appreciated while I struggle to learn the language (too old, grey cells dying off every day...!)Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
