Car Hire in Morocco
We offer a selection of small, medium and larger cars with air-conditioning as well as 4-wheel-drive and mini-bus with driver. The prices below include unlimited mileage, CDW, PAI and all local taxes. Delivery and collection is arranged to and from any hotel we featured and is free in most major towns. A charge is made to some of the remoter places when a rental is for less than 7 days (full details below). As we are a tour operator, rather than a hire-car company, we can only provide car hire in Morocco as part of our tailor made holidays.

The country has an excellent network of good tarmac roads linking all the main towns and cities covering the north, the three main passes over the High Atlas Mountains and much of the Sahara Desert. Road signs are clearly visible and are in French. For covering more than two or three destinations a large-scale road map is essential (we can provide one for £6; overseas orders add £4.50 for postage). A full driving license is required for any rental (International license is not needed). If you are just two people travelling, an inexpensive group A car will take you anywhere you will stay in Morocco. Larger cars obviously have more power and greater comfort and the group D has the added benefit of air-conditioning which is preferable from April/May till the end of September/October. Roof racks and child seats are available on request.
4 X 4 cars
A Toyota RAV 4 (4-seater) or Toyota Land Cruiser (8-seater) can obviously add another dimension to your holiday as they will enable you to get off some of the main roads and explore small villages and hamlets, mountain tracks and desert pistes. Both cars are air-conditioned and are great fun to drive, but are really not necessary for getting between e.g. Marrakech and Essaouira.
Car hire with driver
For those who just want to sit back and enjoy the wonderful Moroccoan scenery, we can provide an experienced English speaking driver. He should not be considered as a guide for your stay in Morocco but will of course have a reasonable knowledge of the country.
The driver will make his own sleeping and eating arrangements at each location.
By having a driver, you are still liable for fuel costs.
The additional cost of the driver is £40 per day.
Our driver as an excellent driver and was quick to respond when we yelled STOP! to take some picture. He was also very helpful at getting people to let us take pictures. W.F. Oct 2007
General points
When taking delivery of your car, please check the fuel gauge to ensure that the tank is full, that the tyres are in good condition and that there is a spare tyre and a jack. Please also check that the car is in an acceptable condition BEFORE signing the contract.
Road maps are NOT supplied with the car. We can provide one before departure, at cost.
Please note that no refund is made for the repairs to or replacement of tyres (punctures caused by use on track, nails, glass etc).
