Common cases
Customs and documents
Most problems at the border come from assuming the rules are the same as within Europe.
Entering Morocco with your own vehicle
Motorcycles, quads, SSVs, cars, campers and vans enter under Morocco’s temporary admission procedure. In most cases no ATA Carnet is needed when the owner travels with the vehicle. The procedure is done on arrival and linked to your passport and registration.
- Passport
- Original vehicle registration
- Valid driving licence
- Insurance valid in Morocco
- Any ownership authorisation your case needs
The vehicle must leave Morocco before the temporary import period ends.
One passport, one vehicle
Customs generally links one temporarily imported vehicle to one person: a motorcycle, a quad, an SSV, a car, a van or a camper each count as one.
Check in advance if you travel with a van carrying a motorcycle, a car and trailer with bikes, several bikes under one person’s documents, or support vehicles carrying other vehicles.
Vehicle registered to someone else
If the vehicle is not in your name (borrowed, family, spouse, friends, club or company), customs may ask for a notarised authorisation or power of attorney.
Company-owned vehicles
Customs may ask for a company authorisation letter, proof of your relationship to the company, a power of attorney or company registration documents. Requirements differ by country and ownership.
Leased and financed vehicles
Ask the leasing or finance company before you travel. Many contracts need written permission for the vehicle to leave the EU or enter Morocco; registration documents alone are often not enough.
Rental vehicles
Many rental contracts forbid Morocco or need advance permission. Check the rental company’s policy before you book travel. We can help you rent a bike in Morocco.
Transport by a third party
If an independent transport company moves your vehicle, make sure ownership, customs and documents are clear before departure.
Transport with our partners
Our partners collect motorcycles across Europe and bring them to our route from Croatia to Morocco. Your bike waits for you at the training base. Contact us for details.
Group transport and ATA Carnets
When several vehicles travel together, an ATA Carnet may be needed. It is an international customs document for temporary import without import duties, and may cover vehicles, spare engines and gearboxes, wheels and tyres, tools, workshop equipment and generators. It mainly concerns professional transport and large groups.
How long the vehicle may stay
Usually up to six months under temporary admission. Close the procedure properly: an open import causes trouble on your next entry.
Someone else taking the vehicle out
A vehicle imported by one person cannot automatically leave with another. Changes of owner, driver or export may need extra procedures, so check before you go.
Stolen or written-off vehicle
Customs procedures still have to be completed, with police reports and other documents. The obligation does not disappear because the vehicle was damaged or stolen.
Insurance
Your vehicle must be insured in Morocco, either through your Green Card or a local policy bought on arrival. Check your cover before travelling.
