For the freedom to truly explore Marrakech and the stunning landscapes beyond, grabbing a rental car is your best bet.

The rental office is located just a few minutes from Marrakech Menara Airport and includes shuttle service from the terminal. They offer everything from small budget cars to SUVs, which is especially useful if you plan to drive through the Atlas Mountains, desert areas or longer road trip routes around Morocco.

From personal experience, I’d definitely recommend getting full insurance coverage in Morocco. Roads can be chaotic in cities and having proper coverage makes the trip way less stressful.

• International driving license recommended

• Credit card usually required for deposit

• SUVs recommended for mountain/desert routes
