I don't know if you can buy insurance in Diama, and I can't remember if mauri is on the Carte Brune or the other CIMA (yellow) insurance papers.
You can buy it in Rosso in the yard for the ferry, there are several agencies on the right as you go in. 3 days should cost about 2500-3500UM. I can't remember if a bigger agency is represented here or not. You can leave the car outside as you do this.

Yes
In Diama, the lady who runs the cafe behind the Customs post does coffee, cokes and third party insurance!

This Lady, café-owner, insurance-agent, moneychanger (the dreadfull person I wrote about earlier) is on the Senegal side of the border. I know she sells insurance for Senegal, can you confirm she sells Mauritanian insurance too ?

Id say She does -I think we are talking about the big black lady in the cafe at the Diama border- Not 100% sure about this , but I remember she does have two big brown envelopes , one for RIM and another for Senegal , doesnt she ?
I am very very sure about this .. having said that .. that lady's insurance is a rip-off . Much cheaper in Rosso .

And certainly hassle free if you obtain your Senegal insurance upfront in Nouackchott.
