Insurance Morocco
 
If you are headed for Chefchouan then there is a town called Tetouan on the way. Stop at the first office that has a blue AXA sign (You can't miss them) and ask for insurance, they will direct you to the main office in town where you can get it in 20 minutes. 60 Euro for a Land Cruiser with trailer, 30 days. Should be a lot cheaper for a bike.

I think it's pretty much the same for any other biggish town in Marocco.

Insurance for Morocco
 
Hi, relief, Carole Nash have delivered as promised and the documents including green card have arrived today. So Andy you should be ok with CN. Pete with the orange BMW, see you in the bar. Birdy, thanks for the tip I will get laminating; should look impressive as you say. Jean, thanks for the info but I am out of the woods now and have the cover I need.
Many thanks to all who helped.
Cheers

Good to meet you on the boat and several times on the road yesterday. Have you made it to the bikers home yet?
Gary and I have just got to Tangiers, we though we would see you again on the road. Hope all is well

I'm having absolutely no luck getting a months' cover for Marocco - everyone just says "We only do twelve month policies."

Bum.

I've tried Ebike, Swinton, Motorcycle Direct, my local broker and Carole Nash.

Any more ideas?:helpsmilie:

I received a highly professional treatment two months ago when I needed an insurance policy for my trip from Italy to Russia.
They can provide insurance policies for Africa, as well.

Let me know if this worked, then.

Thankyou, I've emailed them. Will post back with the results!

Did the guys at Alessie come back with a workable solution?

Yes, but it was hideously expensive. Would have been cheaper to take out a fresh year's cover with Carole Nash and cancel my existing policy.

I did the whole trip without insurance in the end, and luckily didn't crash into anyone! However, one of the guys knocked a kid off his bike, and after three hours in a Police station was glad he'd got cover.

On that subject, make sure you have the British Embassy phone number stored somewhere - the local Plod made Steve sign a statement which was written in Arabic...

So there is no way around insurance you buy in Morocco? 876dh seems really expensive to me, in Germany you get a whole year's insurance for that price.

I did a swift 6 day tour on road bikes with some mates a couple of years ago, and we took out Carole Nash year policies, so as not to mess around at Ceuta (the office was shut when we arrived anyway! One of the guys was really canny and read the small print re cancelling the policy: if you cancel within (I think) 10 days and (important bit) send all the docs back, you get a substantial refund. He had an envelope ready and posted his docs back from Gib: I think he got about £90 of a £120 premium back, so worth looking at for a shorter trip. I was too slow, left it til I got home and only got about 15 quid back.

Green Card For June Trip to Morocco
 
Just been told (e-mailed -sorry, they dont like talking to their customers) by e-bike that they wont cover me for morocco, not even if I pay for the extension. I am only there 2 - 3 days maximum. I dont mind paying the 80 euros for the cover upon arrival but can anyone state that the facility is still in place? I travel 14th June from Portsmouth aiming for Algeciras on the 18th June 2010.
Quite new here but fantastic site - its been a lot of help to this amateur!

The way i did it in Dec 2009 was:

used Carl Nash as broker and Groupama as insurer.
It costed me 160GBP for 3rd party, paid 60GBP upfront
Got the green card for Morocco
In Morocco phoned Carl Nash and canceled the policy
They charged me 25GBP for cancelation and gave me the 60back :)

Total 25 quid for 2 weeks bargain !!!
