KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Ouarzazate
- Book car hire in Ouarzazate to take advantage of its nickname, "the door to the desert". It's the gateway for trips to attractions in the Draa Valley, like Ait-Ben-Haddou. This mud brick city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Having your own transport will give you the independence to visit it and other cultural sites, as well as historical villages like Skoura and Tarmigt, without having to reply on public transport or day tour companies.
- The city has its own international airport, where you can arrange car hire in Ouarzazate and collect your vehicle. It's easy to find the car hire desks at Ouarzazate Airport (QZZ). Once you've picked up your luggage and passed through Customs, you'll enter the single terminal building. Simply scan around to find the kiosk of the company of your choice. The hire car parking area is just outside the terminal, within easy walking distance.
- Ouarzazate is a safe city in which to drive, with well-maintained roads in the urban area itself. The driving conditions are much calmer than in larger Moroccan cities, and local drivers are polite. The police are also very approachable, so don't hesitate to ask them if you need assistance with navigation. It's a good idea to get a GPS unit when you book car hire in Ouarzazate. Drive cautiously in the downtown district, as many residents commute on bicycles.
- You will encounter some unfamiliar things when driving in Ouarzazate and visiting tourist attractions in the surrounding area. Most road signs are in Arabic and French. Important signs have English translations, but for the others you'll have to rely on the images, which isn't difficult. Avoid driving outside the city at night, as there is no lighting, making it hard to see hazards such as potholes, animals like donkeys, and cars travelling without their headlamps switched on.
- Book your rental car in Ouarzazate at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Ouarzazate are around -119% cheaper than other car types, on average

What type of car is recommended for driving in Ouarzazate?
Contrary to what you'd imagine, a 4WD vehicle isn't your only Ouarzazate car hire option. The city's street surfaces are good, as are those of the roads leading to the major tourist sites nearby. This is true even if you're taking a road trip through the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass in the Atlas Mountains that leads to the fringes of the Sahara desert. For driving in the city, don't take more car than you need to fit everyone in. If you are experienced at driving in deep sand, you can hire a 4x4 and go driving in the desert dunes. Otherwise, don't attempt it and rather book a tour with professional drivers.
What's the speed limit in Ouarzazate?
The speed limits in Ouarzazate are straightforward. You can drive at up to 60 km/h (about 37 mph) in the urban area, which includes the downtown district. Outside urban and residential areas, you can drive at up to 100 km/h (about 62 mph). This includes the motorways, known locally as expressways. On highways, the speed limit is 120 km/h (about 75 mph). However, always stay alert for vehicles like donkey carts travelling as slowly as 20 km/h (about 12.5 mph) on any of these types of roads.
Where are the best places to park in Ouarzazate?
Finding parking in Ouarzazate usually won't pose a problem, and won't cost much either. The Avenue Moulay Rachid Car Park is a guarded gravel parking area with an asking price of around 20 MAD for the day, which is only around 1.6 GBP. However, remember that haggling is virtually expected here, so you can talk the price down. If you're visiting the market area, you'll find free parking behind the Souk de Ouarzazate mall. Other parking is available at places like Immeuble El Ghifari on Av. Mohammed V and on Av. Moulay Ettahar Ben Abdulkarim.
