Renting a car in Morocco

[nathan]

Yo, planning a road trip through Morocco from Marrakech to the Sahara and then up the coast to Essaouira. Anyone actually driven there, is it chill or am I gonna be fighting donkeys and scooters the whole way?

Driving there is an adventure for sure, the highways between the big cities are smooth, but once you hit the medina edges and mountain passes, it gets chaotic fast, you need quick reflexes and a lot of patience. Best move is to rent a car in Morocco with full insurance and grab something with decent horsepower, overtaking slow trucks on single lane desert roads is not the time to be in a wheezy hatchback. You can check the available fleet and lock in a ride before you fly at https://getrentacar.com/en-US/morocco .

Keep small bills and coins in the glovebox for parking attendants and toll booths, cash rules everywhere outside the big cities and you do not want to be fishing for change at a barrier.
