·2 min read·Source: LesMRE
Renting a car in Morocco during summer holidays: agency comparison, average rates, insurance, common scams and tips to pay less.
Why rent in Morocco rather than drive your own car
More and more MRE choose to fly and rent locally. A 2-3 week rental often costs EUR 200-400 all-in, compared to EUR 500-800 in road costs (fuel + tolls + ferry).
Average rates summer 2026
Off-season: MAD 150-250/day (EUR 15-25) for a compact. High season (June-August): MAD 300-600/day (EUR 30-60). SUV/family: MAD 500-1,000/day. Airport agencies charge 20-30% more. Book at least 3-4 weeks ahead for summer.
7 traps to avoid
- •Hidden insurance excess (MAD 5,000-15,000). 2. Rushed vehicle inspection (photograph everything). 3. Fuel policy (prefer full/full). 4. GPS charges (use offline Google Maps). 5. One-way return fees. 6. Credit card requirement. 7. Mileage limits.
Insurance options
CDW, Theft Protection, Super CDW (excess waiver), and third-party insurance from sites like Rentalcover.com (EUR 4-6/day, often cheaper than agency options).
