Tiggie Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 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. https://www.carolenash.com/motorbike-insurance/hub/can-i-get-motorbike-insurance-foreign-licence/It might be an uphill battle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Are you trying to get him insured on his own or just added to your policy? Wondering if that would be more doable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briand1960 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab-Biker Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
