KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tangier
A rental car is the perfect way to explore not only Tangier, but also its surroundings and even other popular locations across Morocco. Some of Tangier's most beautiful beaches are located between 10 and 20 minutes outside the city, and major cities in the country are quite spread apart, so renting a car will allow you to personalize your road trip freely. Don't forget to stop by the blue city of Chefchaouen, which is a two-hour drive from Tangier.
All the big car rental agencies, including Hertz, Europcar, and Sixt, can be found at Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport (TNG), which is located less than 30 minutes away from the city center. The car rental desks are situated in the Arrivals Hall of the airport's main terminal, and they often operate between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., although some are open until later. It's typically cheaper to book your car in advance, especially in the summer months.
While main roads are often in good condition throughout the country, many city streets are narrow and packed with buses, cars, cyclists, pedestrians, and animals. Don't let the constant honking affect you as it's normal, and keep your eyes on the side and rear view mirrors. Road signs are usually written in both Arabic and French, but you may come across some only in Arabic. Avoid driving at night because roads are dimly lit.
The streets of Tangier are often very busy, with rickshaw drivers and donkeys circulating alongside cars and motorbikes. The city doesn't experience traffic jams per se, but coming in and out of town can be difficult as people and animals standing on the side of the narrow roads push traffic to the center. If you have to be somewhere at a specific time, plan your journey in advance by taking this into consideration.
Before hopping behind the wheel of cheap car rentals in Tangier, familiarize yourself with a few traffic laws and guidelines to avoid trouble with the traffic officers. First, like much of the Western world, motorists in Morocco drive on the right-hand side of the road and overtake on the left. Most road signs are almost identical to those in Europe, and although most are written in Arabic and French, important markers and signs have an English translation. When driving at night, look out for roaming animals, unlit motorbikes, and bicycles. Also, using a mobile phone while driving in Tangier is prohibited.
If you intend to secure Tangier car rentals, there are a few pieces of documentation you must present to your preferred agency before picking up the keys. The minimum legal age for driving in Morocco is 18, but this requirement varies depending on the car rental company. Some outlets render services to drivers aged 18 for as long as their licenses are at least a year old. Still, some require renters to be 21 or older. Car category is also a determinant of the minimum age for renters, as some companies can only accept renting a luxury car or an SUV if you are 25 or older. Drivers coming from outside the E.U. must have an International Driving Permit.
Tangier is home to many events and festivals celebrated all year round. Therefore, it might not be surprising when your visit coincides with fanfare in the city. For example, the region marks the Tanjazz Festival every September at the Palais des Istitutions Italienne. Furthermore, if you are here in late December and early January, you will experience the Tangier Film Festival along Avenue Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah. During this event, major roads and streets leading to the venues are closed or diverted, resulting in traffic snarl-up. This congestion affects the drop-off and pick-up of cars at rental garages. Therefore, you might take longer than expected to complete the rental process.
