Emergency numbers in Morocco: breakdowns, accidents, police checks
Police 19, gendarmerie 177, fire and ambulance 15, 112 from a mobile: what to do after a breakdown, an accident or at a police check.
Don’t worry: the vast majority of rentals go by without a hitch. Still, it is good to know the right numbers and the right moves.
Numbers to keep handy
- 19: police (in towns)
- 177: Royal Gendarmerie (outside towns)
- 15: fire brigade and ambulance
- 112: emergency number from a mobile phone
- AnyGo: +212 690 618 773, call or WhatsApp
After a breakdown
- Pull over to the side of the road and switch on your hazard lights.
- Place the warning triangle if needed and wait somewhere safe, away from the car.
- Call us or send your location on WhatsApp: we organise assistance.
After an accident
- Get everyone to safety and call 15 if anyone is hurt.
- Inform the police (19) in town or the gendarmerie (177) on the open road.
- Take photos of the vehicles and the scene, then call AnyGo before signing anything.
At a police check
Road checks are common and usually very relaxed. Stay calm and polite, and show your licence, your passport and the rental agreement kept in the glove box. If you are given a fine, ask for a receipt.
