What You Need To Know Before Renting A Car In Morocco

- A valid driving license held for at least one year (most international licenses are accepted; an International Driving Permit is recommended but not strictly required for licenses in Latin alphabets) - A passport or national ID - A credit card in the driver's name for the security deposit (some of our vehicles are available with no deposit or cash payment on arrival)

The minimum driver age is generally 21, with a young driver surcharge for drivers under 25 on certain vehicle categories.

Driving In Morocco .. What To Expect

Moroccan roads are in surprisingly good condition. The motorway network connecting Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakech, and Agadir is modern, well-signposted in Arabic and French, and tolled at reasonable rates. Outside the motorways, national roads (routes nationales) are paved and well-maintained, though mountain roads in the Atlas and Rif require careful driving.

Few Things Worth Knowing

Fuel prices in Morocco are moderate by European standards.
- Diesel (gasoil) is widely available and cheaper than petrol (essence)
- Speed limits are 120 km/h on motorways, 100 km/h on national roads, and 40–60 km/h in urban areas. Radar checks are common
respect the limits. Police checkpoints are routine, especially at city entrances. Slow down, smile, have your documents ready. Most checks are over in 30 seconds
City driving in Marrakech and Fez medinas can be intense. Park outside the old city walls and walk in. Night driving outside cities is best avoided due to unlit roads and occasional livestock on rural routes.
