Motorcyclists can take insurance for problems with abroad
- The motor season has begun, the full technical inspection is important
- Getting home can be 50-70 thousand forints within Hungary, hundreds of thousands or half a million forints from abroad
- The annual fee for motor assistance is usually less than twenty thousand forints
Before starting the trip, the most important thing to do is the full technical inspection of the engine. During the winter rest, the battery can be discharged, if it has been in this state for a long time, and then we will not get away with the exchange – and we will bet on it next year to make a drip for the winter, like any conscientious biker. The tires may have lost pressure in recent months, and the brake pads and brake fluid status, as well as the flawless functioning of the directional indicators, brake lights and headlights should also be checked. It is advisable to check the levels of engine oil and coolant before departure and the chain.
What happens if the engine is incapacitated due to a technical error?
Routine motorcyclists can usually eliminate minor technical errors, but in many cases, there may be a problem that requires a service center or transported home. What can a rider do if the repair may take several days? All of this is a lot of research and financial burden, so forward -looking thinking and mitigation of financial risks are at least as important as the technical preparation of the vehicle.
It can be hundreds of thousands of dollars to repatriate the motorcycle
Depending on the mileage, the repatriation of the incapacitated engine will cost 50 and 70 thousand forints, while transporting abroad can pay up to hundreds of thousands or half a million forints. Therefore, it is useful to consider the assistance insurance for motor vehicles, which is usually less than twenty thousand forints.
“As of March 2025, motorcyclists can take advantage of the benefits of vehicle assistance, which provides full protection in the event of a technical problem and helps us not to interrupt the trip we have begun. As part of the assistance service, troubled riders will be helped 24 hours a day, every day of the week, both domestic and abroad, with a guaranteed arrival on domestic roads within 1 hour, ”said Gábor Timár, operating manager at Europ Assistance.
Replacement car or accommodation required until engine repair
In the event of an accident or technical error, the motorcycle is not left alone, assistance related to assistance is continuously available, and an interpreter service can be requested abroad. If the vehicle is not available on site, the two -wheeler will be transported to a trade service within a distance of up to 50 kilometers. Until the reliable repair, you can get a motorcycle replacement car and seek help in organizing and financing the train or aircraft. But it is also possible for people traveling on the motorcycle to choose accommodation for up to 2 nights for repair, which is funded by the insurer to a specified limit.
