Try Carole Nash, they put Morocco on my insurance for about £60 more than without. The policy is underwritten by Groupama, who don't deal with the public, only insurance brokers.
NOTE - You can only do this at renewal, mid policy you'd have to cancel & start a new policy.
You don't get a Green card with your policy documents though, they told me I would have to let them know when I was going and they would send me the Moroccan insurance papers dated for the time specified.
How good the service is or whether it works as it's supposed to I can't comment as I haven't used it due to work being slack so me being skint
However I've never had any problem with Carole Nash for overseas breakdown service etc so no reason to believe they're not good for it.

Considering almost EVERY continental insurer does it, usually for free, the UK insurers cost us a ton of wasted money every time we cross green card borders and have to fork out sometimes EUR 50 just to spend a day crossing a country (like Macedonia)

Hi,
1st Central gave me a green card for Morocco (can't remember who underwrote it though I'm afraid). From memory it was in the region of £60 for 5 weeks third party, fire and theft.
It did help to make the boarder very very easy, I'll do it again next time for sure. Went from being in Spain still with no ferry ticket, to being free to roam in Morocco in under 1.5 hrs.
Do your temp import docs online before you go too, means MUCH less queuing at the border.

Happy travels
Sam

NAFC What's going on at Carol Nash
They told me today that Groupama wont give a green card for Morocco ! [ They gave me one last year for a month }

There are a few insurers that will do 3 party only but it was over £70 for 2 week's and It would cost me a lot more to cancel my policy and go with a insurer that offered 3rd party cover for Morocco.

I think we will get it in Morocco.
