Rent a Car Casablanca – Page 8

A compact or intermediate car such as the Peugeot 208, Renault Clio or Hyundai Accent suits Casablanca's busy streets and parking. For longer trips to Rabat, El Jadida or Marrakech, a saloon or small SUV is more comfortable.

Economy cars in Casablanca start from around MAD 200 per day (about £16). Automatics, SUVs and longer trips cost more, while weekly and monthly rentals lower the daily rate. The price is confirmed before you pay.

Yes. Suppliers meet you at Mohammed V Airport (CMN) or deliver to hotels and offices in Maarif, Anfa, Gauthier and the Marina. Airport pickup is easiest after a late arrival.

Traffic is heavy at rush hour, especially around the Corniche, Boulevard Zerktouni and the port. Lane discipline is loose and roundabouts are busy. Avoid 8 to 9am and 5 to 7pm if you can, and use a sat-nav for one-way streets.

Rabat is about an hour on the A1 motorway, El Jadida around 1 hour 15 minutes and Marrakech roughly three hours. Motorway tolls are paid at the booths by card or cash.

Bring your passport and a valid UK licence, and add an International Driving Permit if you have one. There are direct flights from London, so many visitors book the car for arrival and return it at the airport on departure.

Tell us the dates, pickup point and car type. We source a supplier and confirm terms. A 20% advance through OneClickDrive secures the booking, and you pay the balance directly to the supplier at handover. Deposit terms are confirmed before you pay.

Small cars in Casablanca start from around MAD 200 per day (about £16). SUVs and automatics cost more, and weekly or monthly rentals lower the daily rate. Long weekends and July to August are the busiest periods. The full price is confirmed before you pay.

Suppliers meet you in the arrivals hall at Mohammed V Airport, so you do not need to visit an off-site office. Tell us your flight number and the handover is confirmed before you book.

It depends on the supplier. Some add an airport surcharge, while a city pickup can mean a taxi to the office. Local suppliers often deliver to the airport or your hotel at little or no extra cost. Mohammed V Airport is about 30 km from the centre, so airport handover saves a taxi ride. We confirm delivery terms before you book.

A taxi from Mohammed V Airport to the centre is typically a few hundred dirhams, and the train to Casa Voyageurs is cheaper but slower with luggage. If you plan to travel on, a rental collected at arrivals is often the simpler option.

There is no single best company, because cars, prices and terms differ by supplier. Compare mileage, deposit, insurance excess and fuel policy. OneClickDrive lists local suppliers in Casablanca and confirms the terms before you pay the advance. Casablanca has the largest choice of local suppliers.

Yes. Tourists can drive with a valid licence and passport, and most suppliers prefer an International Driving Permit alongside a UK licence. Cars drive on the right. Casablanca's Corniche and motorway ring are easy to follow with a sat-nav.

For most visitors, yes. Morocco has good motorways, cheap fuel by UK standards and many places that public transport reaches slowly. Book through a supplier that confirms price, mileage and deposit in advance. From Casablanca you can reach Rabat, El Jadida and Marrakech in a day.

Basic cover is usually included, with an excess you remain liable for, and extra cover can reduce it. UK car insurance and most travel policies do not cover a Moroccan rental, so check the excess and exclusions before you pay. Ask the supplier in Casablanca to list the excess in writing.
