Green Card Insurance ?
Going over to Morroco for the Tuareg Rallye in March with my Can-Am which is insured with the NFU but they won't give me a Green Card, anyone know if you can get one in Melilla ? Andy.

Andy, check the list of countries/geographical limitation on your insurance certificate. A lot of companies include Morocco as well as all the EU countries in their geographical limits.

On arrival in Morocco, you need to present the original vehicle registration documents, insurance certificate and your passport to the customs officer, and complete the vehicle admission form. Photocopies and faxes are not acceptable.
Each vehicle owner is then given a temporary admission vignette to put on the car windscreen, and a green and a white document with the vehicle details, entry date, and length of stay permitted ("admission temporaire"). You are allowed to keep a vehicle registered elsewhere for a maximum period of 6 months in any one year in Morocco.
It is important that you keep the entry documents safely. If you have lost them, you may encounter big delays and possibly large fines when you try to leave. Each imported vehicle is entered in the immigration computer records, and the Moroccan authorities should be able to check your details in that way. You must have entry documents for all vehicles, whether being driven or not, so motor bikes in trailers/ camper vans require their own entry certificates too. You may need to show these documents at any time if you are stopped by the police.

When you leave Morocco (with your car), the temporary authorisation papers (see above) must be presented to Moroccan Customs. You should retain the white copy with the exit stamp on it, should you be questioned about exportation of the vehicle on any future trip back into Morocco.

Should you need to leave Morocco and cannot take the car with you, you must consult the closest Customs authorities. They may decide to impound the vehicle "hors circulation" until you return.

Is my UK car insurance valid in Morocco?

Vehicles must have at least 3rd party insurance to be driven in Morocco, and you must have proof of such insurance in the form of a green card. If you are unable to get insurance for Morocco abroad, you will need to take out temporary insurance on arrival. This can be done in Tangier port (in an office on the right of the exit from customs) or at the Ceuta/Moroccan border. 5 days insurance at the frontier for a car costs approximately £ 30.

If your insurance policy expires during your stay in Morocco, you can obtain temporary insurance cover from local insurance companies.

Yes you can get one in Melilia, just ask at the border, there is a "shop" just outside. its about 80 quid for 2 weeks. Just dont get there at lunchtime or you'll potentially have a 3-4 hour wait for it to open.

it seems really hit and miss, this morocco green card issue. some people with some firms get it, others with the same firms dont. first year i was with flux i didnt have it, second year I did. weird.
