This
maybe something that you might consider not worth taking as you may
never run out of petrol or breakdown at home.
Personal
cover which is a separate thing from normal bike cover, and in most
cases can be supplied by your current insurer. It is always advisable
to obtain such cover as otherwise the costs for ambulance, hospital
fees and other medical treatment can be enormous and run into many
hundreds, or thousands, of pounds. So either get cover or take a
large fist full of €uro's.
At the very
least you are recommended
to obtain the new European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) - available
in the UK by calling 0845 606 2030 with your NI number (or through
your local Post Office) - with which you are entitled to some basic
medical treatment that becomes necessary, at reduced cost or
sometimes free, when temporarily visiting a European Union (EU) country.
Check to see if your bike insurance comes with EU breakdown cover as most do these days. If not short stay bike and/or personal cover can be arranged with Brittany Ferries when booking - see below.
Travelling without adequate insurance can cost you a lot, both financially, and in terms of disruption to your holiday. That's why Brittany Ferries has teamed up with Europ Assistance to design a policy that gives you complete peace of mind.
Europ Assistance is one of the world's largest assistance providers, and has an extensive European breakdown support network with 15,000 approved motor recovery operators. If you need help, one call to their 24 hour operations centre can put into action a team of multi-lingual co-ordinators, medical personnel and legal advisors. There's no need to worry about paying and reclaiming expenses either. Europ Assistance can pay insured costs direct to the supplier.
