Non U.K. resident insurance

[briand1960]

Hi, I am trying to get my son in law insured on my bandit 600. He is columbian and has an international bike licence. He is here on a visitors visa and is classed as non resident. I have tried twenty different insurers but no entertains Non U.K. resident status. Any leads would be appreciated.

Hello and Welcome

I have no idea about this I'm afraid! But someone might

You could try bikesure through the link in the motorbike chat section

Just took this from the Carol Nash website

 

CAN I GET MOTORBIKE INSURANCE IF I’M NOT A UK RESIDENT?

If you’re a non-UK resident and you’re spending a short amount of time in the United Kingdom, getting motorbike insurance is likely to be much more difficult.

With little insurance history available, most insurance underwriters are reluctant to offer insurance to those who aren’t considered to be a resident of the UK.

It might be an uphill battle

Thanks had tried them both no luck

Are you trying to get him insured on his own or just added to your policy? Wondering if that would be more doable

[briand1960]

Thanks tried both routes apparently it was OK to do a few years ago and there is a suggestion the specialist insurers will cover but can’t find one that will

Hi, Did you find any option for insurance. I am checking now in 2023, but it seems that the only option is bikesure,uk with temporary insurance.

Didn't know Bikesure would do that. Thanks for the update.
