Many travelers consider booking a car last minute when arriving in Morocco, but this often leads to higher prices and limited availability. Here’s why booking early is always the better choice.
1. Better Prices
Rental prices can increase by 20–50% closer to the date—especially during:
-
Ramadan
-
Summer holidays
-
Christmas & New Year
-
Major events in Marrakech
Booking early locks in the best rate.
2. More Car Choices
Booking in advance gives you access to the full fleet:
-
SUVs
-
4×4
-
Luxury models
-
Automatic cars (limited in Morocco)
Last-minute bookings often leave only small economy cars.
3. Smoother Airport Pickup
With an advance reservation, your rental company prepares:
-
Contract
-
Car cleaning
-
Full inspection
-
Fast delivery at the airport
This saves you time after a long flight.
4. No Stress During High Season
In tourist peaks, many agencies run out of cars completely. Booking ahead guarantees availability.
5. Time to Compare Options
Booking early lets you compare:
-
Insurance
-
Fuel policy
-
Rates
-
Car categories
-
Customer reviews
This helps avoid scams and low-quality agencies.
6. Better Planning for Road Trips
When you know your car type in advance, you can plan:
-
Luggage
-
Itineraries
-
Distances
-
Fuel budget
-
Off-road capabilities
