My 101 is insured with Peter Best and they issued a letter saying that the insurance was valid in Morocco - it was also valid in Tunisia
Now the problem was to convince the girl at the border that it was valid which took an hour - I think we just wore her down and she gave up in the end ------------------ Rich LR101 300Tdi Ambi 'Tiggurr' |
Hi everyone
after having been told by my curent (or from this afternoon, former) motor insurers that I could get a Green Card for Morocco, they then decided I couldn't. After reading IanC's comment above, I tried Norwich Union. I now have *fully comp* motor insurance worldwide for only £329 per year for my 18-year-old 90 V8. I'm quite happy! Mind you, you never find out how good your insurance company are til you have to claim... Thanks IanC! SF |
No probs! Funny how a big, well-known, household name seems to come up with the goods, when you'd think it might be a more specialist thing. Maybe it's because they have representatives all over?

Well, I got over. Paid the equivalent of about 80 euros for the Green card insurance at the border near Ceuta, and then had endless hassle coz my bike reg. document said my name was Paddy, while my other documents such as passport said Patrick. Ended up having to fork out some 500 of my newly exhanged dirhams in a bribe and even that only got me in for just three days.
Didn't get far, tried the coast road towards Al Hoceima and up the Rif mountains but the rain and subsequent road conditions soon put paid to any ideas I had about touring there on a roadbike. Next time it'll be a very cheap trailbike, and preferably a mate to guard each other's backs. Mad country, for sure I haven't travelled much outside the EU, but the chaos at the frontier trying to get back to Ceuta just blew my mind. All the Spanish cars seemed to be able to go through the left hand side, but when I tried my luck I was waved back and spent hours getting through with the locals, even though it was only about 8am when I arrived. Bah ! Still a good experience though. |
Most advice I've come across is to avoid the Rif, in particular around Ketama even if you do like the odd puff! Maybe that's why it seemed a bit mad.

Carole Nash (UK insurance company) includes Morocco on their green card. I got my green card included with 3rd party on my 89 Tenere for £150 per annum.

I was given 90 days as standard and my landy was given 6 months. I had no insurance cover, none was asked for and when I prompted them about it they just waved me away - it being the 1st day or ramadan might have helped/hindered? Took 30 min's - head for Saidia if you want a quiet place to get 'used' to being in Maroc etc - cheap campsites and no hassles etc |
