Travel on Continent - Irish Camper Insurance

[Eber123]

Hello,

I am in the middle to plan our tour through the continent for 2024. We will be on the road for 46 days and were hoping to visit the following countries:

• France
• Germany
• Czechia
• Slovakia
• Romania
• Bulgaria
• Turkey
• Greece
• Albania
• Montenegro
• Bosnia
• Croatia
• Italy

(In a different post I asked if people have experience with the VW Onside Rescue).

To ensure that I won't run into problems I contacted Dolmen Insurance Broker to ask if we need any special arrangements for those countries. They got back to me very quickly with this:

• No car insurance fur Turkey and Albania at all!
• Green card for Montenegro and Bosnia

Obviously we won't travel to Turkey and Albania without a car insurance. I was wondering if you came across an insurance company that offer car insurance cover for a week or two in those countries?

Regards,
Eberhard

Turkey, available at the border. Got it for my motorcycle. Third party though and you wonder if it's even worth the paper that they are written on. Would be the same for Albania.

I would buy at the border as both countries are worth visiting and would not miss out on seeing just due to full insurance constraints.

Enjoy your journey.

Hello,

I spoke to my car insurance (broker) again. It was confirmed that they can't arrange car insurance cover for Turkey and Albania.

I tried to find another insurance company that can offer a decent inurance cover for a month or so. But I failed.

We spoke about it and decided to change our travel plans and skip Turkey and Albania for the moment. Maybe it is my age, but we also decided against the above mentioned suggestion to buy insurance cover at the boarder.

There are only 9x weeks left and I still have to organize a lot. So, for this year the main destinatiion (as it was actually planned from the beginning).

Regards,
Eberhard

Hello,

I just wanted to get back to this topic.

We are back from our tour, leaving Turkey and Albania out.

Even though we planned / decided where we want to go next year, we started to talk about a tour to Morocco (where this came from I don't know). But the more I think about it, the more I like it.

So I contacted Dolmen Insurance again to ask if they provide car insurance for Morocco. They got back to me yesterday saying that unfortunately they won't provide car insurance for Morocco.

I will google for Irish camper insurance companies and check if they provide cover, but if somebody knows a company who does, please let me know.

Eberhard
