When considering car rentals in Morocco, you have choices between large international rental companies with a global presence and local rental companies. While local options may be more budget-friendly, it's important to be aware that they may not provide the same level of guarantees and services as major international companies like Eurocar.
Additionally, keep in mind that in some cases, you may need to separately handle insurance and taxes. To make an informed decision that suits your preferences and requirements, it's a good idea to research and compare the available rental options in Morocco.
Minimum prices for car rental in Morocco start from 15 EUR per day. However, the average price ranges from 30 to 50 EUR per day. Rental rates in Casablanca are generally lower compared to Agadir and other Moroccan cities. International car rental companies typically include unlimited kilometers, insurance, local taxes, road tolls, and 24-hour technical support in their prices. Additional services such as a navigator or child car seats may be available at an extra cost.
Booking your car online in advance with international companies can often result in cost savings. To rent a car, you will need an international driver's license and a credit card with a deposit ranging from 450 to 2000 EUR, depending on the car class, company policies, and the city. Local rental companies may only require a national driver's license and may not request a deposit, instead, they might ask for a photocopy of your passport and driver's license as collateral.

The traffic rules in Morocco are generally standard, but stops are frequent. Inspectors in Morocco pick on any little thing to be able to take a fine for a traffic violation. Its traditional amount is 400 MAD. But a direct request to the inspector for a receipt often turns out to be a pledge to get rid of the fine.
Toll roads in Morocco run between Rabat, Fez, Casablanca, Essaouira, and several other major cities. The price for traveling on them is usually 20-30 MAD. Parallel to the toll roads, there are always free roads along the same route. The asphalt on them is somewhat worse but in decent condition and allows you to reach speeds of up to 100 km/h.
