Leaving vehicle in a garage
 

Hi, I'd really like to leave our camper in a workshop for bodywork and fly home for a few days. Is that possible? This issue us about leaving the country without a vehicle and without parking it at the airport.
Any chance that a return air ticket plus a letter from the local police would be acceptable?

Hi Mark, from what I’ve heard it should be ok but you need to fill in the customs form and leave your keys etc with them.

Might be an issue if the garage need to keys while doing the work.

Are you in Morocco at the moment?

Not in Morocco now, just planning. We have several copies of keys, but the customs nan at the airport would not see the vehicle, because it would be in a different town. We like the idea of leaving the vehicle in tafraoute and flying home for Christmas, from Agadir maybe

Hi,

I left my motorcycle in a campsite's locked garage, and flew home to Ireland for a few months. I plan to go back in March to ride the bike home.

I was told that I would need to get customs to "seal" the bike (put a lock on the brakes or chain so it could not be used without breaking the seal), or place it in a customs compound. That's not 100% strictly adhered to....

I turned up at the airport in Marrakesh on crutches ( I broke my leg near ouarzazate) and went to the customs office in the terminal building. I explain that I wanted to go home to have my leg set and recover, and to come back for the bike. I was asked where it was and I gave him the name of the campsite, and showed a photo on my phone of the bike locked (padlock on the rear sprocket). He also took note of the doctors note I had from a clinic in Ouarzazate. Luckily I had been given 6 months on the green form for the temporary import of the bike, and I was given permission to go home but I have to get the bike out by the end of that 6 months.

The customs guy stamped my exit form, and the airline/security all accepted it with no question.

And i must say, the customs guy was a pleasure to deal with.
