When I ride in Europe with Edelweiss, they provide insurance coverage on the bike with a $1000 deductible as part of the cost of the tour. Problem is they nickel and dime you for every minor scratch when you return the bike, so you end up paying for normal wear and tear.
As an alternative, they will let you avoid the deductible by paying an upfront $200-$300 premium (depending on the bike). With this coverage, you simply return the bike, no questions asked. If you have a tip over, it pays for itself. And if the bike is stolen, you’re completely off the hook.
My SO totaled one of their SV650’s on a tour in Spain several years ago. Really glad we paid the upfront premium!
Next time I ride with them, I’ll pay the premium, ride to the nearest port, “steal” the bike, and have it shipped home!
