Insurance - Tangier City
I got the ferry over from Tarifa to Tangier in April 2012. Nobody was interested in seeing my insurance papers. I got a morning ferry over and planned to buy insurance at the port. There was an insurance hut on the right just as you leave customs but it was shut (it was mid-week and I got there about 11:00). As it was pouring down with rain I headed off hoping to pick up some insurance later on. Never did stumble across an insurance office so just took my chances.....
Whilst it was OK for me, I wouldn't suggest anyone does the same. The chances of having a (small) accident in Morocco are quite high - especially of you're not used to busy traffic in the bigger cities. Could get messy explaining yourself to the police should you have a crash and cause some (or someone) damage. There are also police checkpoints everywhere, particularly as you enter towns / cities. I was only once asked for my registration details and passport but nothing else.
