How to take bike out of Morocco after an accident
We have met a couple of German bikers who have just arrived in Morocco. Unfortunately one of them had an accident today and is unable to ride, so I have offered to ride his bike back to Tangier Med and take it on the ferry back to Spain (my husband and I are already booked on the ferry to Barcelona with our trike). The injured chap will probably fly home, whilst his friend will come with us on his bike, and organise his mate's bike recovery to Germany once we are all back to the Spanish mainland.
The problem is that the bike is linked to the injured chap's passport through the temporary import docs, so I understand that normally the bike would be impounded until he returned to take it out of the country.
The guys who run the guest house where we are all staying in Chefchaouen will check with the police tomorrow to try and find out what we need to do to allow the bike out of the country with me instead of the owner, but this is Morocco....
Does anyone have any experience and/or ideas/advice on how to go about this so that we have the best chance of success and lack of hassle at the port? Any information gratefully received. I'm guessing that this will not be the first time that something like this has happened!
Many thanks.
