I had planned to buy insurance at the port when I arrived, but as I took the first boat in the morning to Tanger, the insurance office had not opened when I arrived, and would not open for two more hours. I figured I'd buy insurance in Essaoira, but didn't see an insurance shop, so I figured I'd get insurance in Marrakech, but couldn't find a shop. Ten days later I left Morocco without getting insurance, and not because I didn't want to buy some...

On last (road) trip (Dec 2009) I had a similar story to Motoreiter: Office on Ceuta/Moroc border post closed (closed down?). Couldn't be bothered to stop in next town (it was also too late and a Sunday).
It was too early when I left Chefchouan for offices to be open.
Tried one place in Fez and they didn't do it and again couldn't be ar$ed to look further.
Nowhere in Errachidia sells insurance for foreign bikes (although they do for cars....). I spent 3 hours walking around in the rain trying every broker there was.
Eventually made it to Ouazazatte and Peter at Bikershome Offroad Centre sent me to a local AXA office where it was very easy to get bike insurance.
cheers
Chris

heh, that was my plan as well, to have Peter point me in the right direction, until I found out he was leading a tour at the time and was not in Ouarzazate...

Morocco
Hi everybody, first of all sorry in advance for my English, I'm going ahead to plan my first raid in Morocco, 99% is already ready but an important thing is missing:
Green Card
As far as you know, it should be compulsory to have it on board in order to avoid eventual troubles with the local Police, in my country ITALY, there isn't any possibility to obtain it.
So i would like to cross by ferry from Spain to Morocco in Almeria to Nador or Melilla instead Algeciras to Tangeri.
For sure, in Tangeri i can find someone release to me this kind of Green card, but I'm not sure the same in Nador or Melilla
can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
Pietro

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
