Driving in Morocco - security

[Corp.Clinger!]

Well it looks as if the BR trip to Morocco is well and truly OFF - DAMN IT.

I thought I'd phone Admiral to get the green card to be told they will not cover the Landcruiser in Maroc. I have tried umpteen other firms (and would have to insure with them for the year) to no avail. No one will cover a car in Maroc anymore.

I seem to remember that Marocco was usually added to EU, along with Turkey, as countries. Certainly when we went by bike getting a green card was a nicity to ease the border, and was certainly given without problem.

Has something changed over there? How does Tim get his Landie insured?


So just Spain via the Portsmouth ferry Friday week - anyone else going?

As above....


If it were I,I'd certainly arrive,buy insurance in the port after customs and drive along enjoying Maroc......really is no big deal...approach the office and buy it..they'll print it out there and then and off you go.

There'll be no problem with a new 4x4 going,it won't even matter whether it's new,old or a beater from a theft point of view...more chance of a scummer making off with it in Europe than in Maroc IMO.

If you're staying in an hotel anywhere they'll have a groundsman that'll double up as a guardian who'll watch over it overnight. I've seen all manner of cars in Maroc from new 4x4's,Audis and Merc's ....even seen a Lamborghini.

(The last group I took there a rider bought 2 weeks insurance for €93 as far as I can remember)

Just say'in like....

I remember when I went in 2010 that there was a company that offered me fully comp on my new r1200GSA for a month in Morocco for £191. I didn't take it in the end and took the risk myself. You will find them at www.alessie.com/. I'm sure they do cars as well. Use the contact link and they will email you a form to fill in. Then they will come back with a price.
