Comprehensive travel insurance for camper van in Mauritania and Senegal
Ongcinegal · 2025-09-11
Hi,
With a camper van that's less than 3 years old, we're heading from France to Senegal via Mauritania.
Our comprehensive insurance covers us for Morocco. However:
For Mauritania:
- How can we get insurance for 1 week in Mauritania?
- Where and which reliable agency should we contact in Morocco? (Not the "guide" at the border) - Darkhla or elsewhere? Please, do you have any contact details?
- Is it possible to take out comprehensive insurance, not just third-party liability?
- Please, do you have any idea of the rates?
For Senegal:
- Can we take out comprehensive insurance in Diama or St Louis for 3 weeks or 1 month?
- Which reliable agency or company? Please, do you have any contact details?
- Please, do you have any idea of the rates?
Thanks so much

For insurance in Mauritania, at the border post there’s an agency where you can take out insurance. Right at the country’s entrance, on the left.

It’s actually at the border, and not sure if it’s more expensive than in "town."
Anyway, that’s what I did.

Thanks so much for your reply. I assume this is Third-Party Liability insurance, not comprehensive, and that it’s possible for just 4 or 5 days.

I wasn’t limited on the number of days!!
And I stayed for about two weeks, with the price depending on the length of the stay.
But I don’t remember if I went for "comprehensive" coverage.
I think comprehensive insurance is available.

Thanks for your attention.
We’ll see once we’re there, but for such a short stay, I’m not sure if comprehensive insurance will be allowed.
I assume the border agency at the country’s entrance is indeed in Guerguerat...
Best regards

Yes, it’s in Guerguerat, along with customs, police, gendarmerie, and more I’m forgetting [;]
