Insurance in Mali and Mauritania
 

Who much is insurance for motorbike in Mali and Mauritania? CanI take it on the border?

Look up Carte Brun or Brown Card.

It should be possible to buy insurance on the border. Entering Mauritania from Western Sahara at the official crossing near Nouadhibou, you can't miss the person selling insurance, and the border officials should ensure that you visit him.

It's not really insurance. Your chances of making any kind of claim on the policy are 0%. It's just a tax.

Mauritania is not a member of Ecowas, so the Brown Card generally doesn't apply, although as noted above, you can get third party insurance at the border.

Despite that, you can buy a Brown Card in Nouakcott, which then covers you for Mali and the other Ecowas states.

Why should not you be welcome here? We are just bikers.

Set up your tent in the shadow, have a sit, a drink and enjoy the trip.

Back to insurance - yes you can buy it at the border. When I was there a couple of years ago you didn't have to go looking for it too hard as there was a fair bit of insistence that we should buy it there. We bluffed our way round it by telling them that 'our boss' had arranged all the insurance for us and that the paperwork was in Nouakchott.

After that we managed to find an insurance company not at the border who were (eventually) willing to haggle for the insurance and we got two bikes (a 650 and an 1150) for the price of a 125cc and a pickup (2.8lit) as a 2CV (650cc).

I don't remember the exact figure now, but it was around £15-£20 each.
