Casablanca car rentals

Top tips for renting a car in Casablanca

• No Moroccan vacation is complete without a vehicle. Don’t miss out on your chance to see the vibrant desert landscape for yourself. It is highly advised that travelers visiting Casablanca rent their own cars, as the city is conveniently located within quick driving distance of some of the country’s top tourist spots. Some of the destinations within easy reach of Casablanca include Rabat, which is just 87 km (54 miles) away, and Azemmour, which is 95 km (59 miles) from the city.
• Can’t wait to start your trip in Casablanca? If you are looking for the hire car counters and your flight is landing at Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport, you can find the counters in the Arrivals Hall just adjacent to Terminal 1.
• This may sound a bit strange for drivers from abroad, but communication is key to navigating traffic in Casablanca. Drivers constantly make eye contact, signal with their hands and honk to alert other drivers to their intentions. It is important as a driver to make sure to watch out for others signals and to try to do the same back.
• Fortunately for drivers, Casablanca has fairly mild to moderate rush hour traffic. However, in the morning during the work week there is some congestion from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and in the afternoon it picks back up around 4:00 p.m., finally clearing up around 6:00 p.m. Aside from those hours, traffic shouldn’t be much of a problem -- just steer clear of driving in the old town, where many of the streets are quite small.
• Book your rental car in Casablanca at least 4 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
