Travel insurance for Morocco means you won’t be out of pocket in the event of a medical emergency. Take us with you and have up to unlimited cover for medical expenses and repatriation.
What is Morocco travel insurance, and do you need it?
Travel insurance for Morocco means you’re covered against unexpected medical costs. You’ll also be covered for lost luggage or cancelling your trip.
Morocco is a popular destination for Brits. It draws in more than 610,000 British tourists every year. The Moroccan Tourism Minister says the goal is “to double the number of tourists visiting Morocco by 2027”. But if you’re planning to explore more of Morocco, you should make sure you’re protected in an emergency.
There’s no telling what mishaps could occur. Whether it’s dropping your phone in the souk or slipping out of your quad bike in the Sahara. Our travel insurance for Morocco covers a range of mishaps so you can focus on enjoying your trip.
- Emergency medical costs: Basic consultations and medications in Morocco are relatively affordable. However, public hospitals in Morocco are generally not recommended due to the lower quality of care. Major treatment or hospitalisation at private Moroccan facilities can be costly. This could be hundreds of pounds per day for tourists without comprehensive travel insurance coverage. A hospital stay at a private facility can cost around 14,000 dirhams (approximately $1,500) per day.
- Cover for most medical conditions: We’ll consider all pre-existing medical conditions. Just declare your condition, give us some details and we’ll send you a quote. Find out more about medical travel insurance or contact our helpful team.
- Get the right cover for your trip: Activity trips to the Sahara are common. Here, you can enjoy a wide range of fun things to do, like sandboarding or quad biking. But it’s important to make sure you’re covered with our activity cover.
- Protect against delays: The UK Government warns about a high risk of political unrest in Morocco, such as strikes or protests. There’s also a risk of terrorist activity. This could mean your plans may need to change at the last minute. If this leads to flight delays or cancellations, we’ll help cover the cost of missed tours and accommodation.
- Protect your belongings: Don’t let a lost or stolen bag ruin your holiday. Our insurance for travel to Morocco includes cover for your personal belongings, baggage and passport. Plus, we offer optional valuables cover for expensive gadgets like your tablet or laptop.
