Passport checks are always done on the Algerciras - Tanger Med Ferry, if you disembark without having them done you'll get sent back on board to be processed.

There'll be a desk set up on the main seating cabin with a laptop and paperwork. Fill in you immigration card join que and get the passport stamped. Fairly Straight forward but not the Police/Customs Officers is often not in uniform

The xe.com rate on the day was just over 11 Dh to the euro. For me 10.5 Dh was worth it to have cash in hand for the insurance.

They didn't take credit cards when you passed through then?

Credit cards are generally not accepted in Morocco other than at high-end establishments as merchants don't see why they should pay commission to Visa/Mastercard whatever. You will generally be pointed to the nearest ATM and told to get cash.

Thanks Tim :thumbup1:

I've read how its much more of a cash rather than cards society.

Like Tim said, but Marjanes will take payment by card and the Afriquia fuel stations ajacent do too, normally...

The insurance office at TangerMed will accept payment in either dirhams or euros.

Just for info and picking up on a point made by Tim earlier in the thread, I did get a random insurance check by Police recently, but it was in WS from memory.

Interestingly, the Police (WS again) who wanted to discuss their private income for 85kmh in an 80 zone weren't interested in insurance at all:oops2:

how much were they after and did you pay?
