Marrakesh car rentals

Top tips for renting a car in Marrakesh

• An imperial city overflowing with artisan heritage and angelic vibrancy, Marrakesh is a gateway to the wonders and mystique of Northern Africa. Renting a car during your trip to the central Moroccan city will help you maximize your time as you take in the stunning Islamic architecture, street vendors, and buzzing nightlife. Having a rental car will also let you venture outside of the city limits and explore the incredible waterfalls and sliding hills of the Ourika Valley, or head towards the Atlantic coastline and visit beach towns, such as Essaouira, which are blessed with world-renowned seafood.
• Marrakesh Menara Airport is host to many major international airlines that fly across the world and is located only 5 miles from the city center. Use KAYAK to view the best range of rental options from a long list of companies such as Avis, Sixt, Hertz, and Budget, which have counters located in the Arrival Hall of Terminal 2.
• Be prepared for plenty of car horns on the streets of Marrakesh. While honking is uncommon in the United States and can be viewed as a signal of displeasure, Moroccans use the horn to let other drivers know their location on the road. Make sure you acquire an International Drivers Permit before renting a car for your trip; simply apply for one at any American Automobile Association branch or online.
• Be mindful that roads close to the center of Marrakesh can experience considerable traffic congestion throughout the majority of the day. If you are planning on visiting famous landmarks such as the market square of Jemaa el-Fnaa or the El Badi Palace, it is best to park and use public transport or a tuk tuk to reach your destination.
