So what happens when you arrive with no insurance? DO they turn you back to Spain? Or are they not checking for it?

European motor insurance with "green card" is also valid in Morocco, so no big problem?

I guess one should be able to get this EU insurance in Ceuta as well, then head to the border?

So where can you go to get the insurance needed to get into Morocco if you don't have a green card with you at the border in Ceuta as 8 of us are off there next Wednesday and 4 are leaving Norway this Thursday night so dose not leave them much time any help :confused1:

Thanks Dave

So when did that happen?

I crossed just a few days ago and there were TWO banks/Exchange and Insurance next to them.

...There are 3 areas/lanes/compounds [whatever you call them] and the offices of bank and Insurance are in the middle one.....not easy to see at first glance.

Can't beleave they would close bank/exchange offices.......In their interest to keep open.

Dave,

You'll probably find your insurance company will cover you for an extra little premium. They will need to send you an updated greencard though. Carole Nash covered me for Morocco for not an awful lot (although I can't remember the exact amount) and, whilst I wouldn't wish to pass comment on Moroccan insurance companies, your own insurance company may even pay out in the event of an accident.

Matt :)

Well I need to check with mine, but if this is true then I'm good to go.

I'm just trying to check this out with my insurer.

I live in Spain and insure my Land Rover 110 (UK registered) through Abbeygate insurance. I enquired about allowing the vehicle into Morocco and they say you are only covered for the minimum legal requirement in that country which is not the same level of cover I have for Spain.

Since I don't know what the minimum legal requirement is for Morocco I've asked for more details and am waiting for a reply.

As I sit in front of the Laptop "Our Man" in Morocco is on his mobile to me......from the Ceuta/Moroccan Border.........

Both bank/exchange offices AND the insurance office are OPEN!!!

Rebaseonu: European green card is only valid if it specifically mentions MA.

Dakota: that will be third party only--no comprehensive, no fire, no theft. Most green card cover for Morocco is on this basis.
