I meant we are always asked for the green card at the customs offices, in Ceuta border; never inside the country

Insurance in Ceuta
Hi all,

No, you can't buy insurance in Ceuta for UK vehicles going into Morocco.

We entered through Tanger Med last week. Only took 40 minutes and we weren't asked for green cards. The bank and insurance offices are directly after customs. One month insurance for 4x4 is 950 dhirams.

Happy trails,

Jojo

UK Green Card
I just renewed my UK insurance with classic bike broker Carole Nash and got them to supply a 21 day Green Card for Morocco on my XT600Z for an extra £20 on my premium. Last year, and in 2008 when I enquired they weren't doing them at all. It'll be good to be legal, and with a European supplier, so it might even work if I need it to!

We are planning to be in Morocco mid May and to stay for 4-6 weeks.

Currently plan is to get insurance on entry at the border but it sounds like it can only be bought for 1 week or 4 weeks.

If we're there longer than 4 weeks, does anyone know if the insurance can be bought for longer at the border or renewed outside the north of Morocco(we will be spending most of our time in the high Atlas / Anti Atlas / far south east desert areas)?

Also, any opinions whether best to arrive in Tanger Med, Tangier or Cueta?
Thanks

Go to MED. Get the insurnace from the little white booths in the middle of the tarmac expanse just after the customs booths. Once you've cleared just drive up and park in the middle next to them. Their is a change place and the insurance next door. They did fixed days as we got 10. They certainly did longer durations. Do you need it?? We didn't even get asked. Personal pref. If you have and accident you will need it though.

Hello all,

We went through Ceuta/Morocco border early April and as above, couldn't get nor find anywhere to get insurance. And wasn't asked for it at the border.

Got through the border just before 21:00, again couldn't find anything outside that was open, made Chefchaouen to camp, went into town in the morning, no luck. Drove to Fez, guided tour around souks etc and to get insurance, the local guide had trouble finding an insurance office that did it. So reluctantly we drove without it, we weren't asked for it at any checkpoints, all of which just waved us through and when we left to go back into Ceuta, we weren't asked for it.

Cheers.
