By Car to Morocco

[Trooperman]

I'm going to Morocco by car and there are two main reasons why a car is preferable: I'll be going to Marrakesh via Fez (one way) and via Meknes (coming back) and (this is the REAL reason!), Mrs Trooperman wants to fill the car with junk from the souks/medinas.

I'm insured with Ibex (out of Gib) but i find that the green card is only valid for Europe and that a week´s TPFT is 63 Euros extra. The money's OK, but I'm a bit doubtful about TPFT. Does anyone have any info on where I can get Fully Comp. insurance for such a trip? Ibex don't/won't do it.

Good for Mrs Trooperman - any chance of a couple of tagines?

Cool - have you room for another one?

[Trooperman]

Don't be daft! There'll be no room for any tagines on top of all that ironwork, rugs and sundry light fittings that Mrs. Trooperman will be bargaining for. Having booked the hotel in Fez & then in Marrakesh, I suspect word had already gone out that there's some Brits arriving in a car that'll need filling up with tat.

As for my original question, I have been unable to find any insurance beyond third party, so I suppose I'll just have to be careful.

I hope you'll also be fitting the full length roof rack ? You should also practice the loading of it to 1,5m above the vehicle. Mrs.T will then not be restricted on quantity she is able to purchase & you'll blend in with the locals ! Result all round !
