How does car hire pickup work at Agadir Airport?

Your voucher gives the meeting point and the company’s number, which is all you need on arrival.

Print or save the voucher

Keep it where you can open it without data. It shows who meets you, where, and the number to call on arrival.

Answer the company

Expect contact the day before and when you land. Use a phone number with its country code and keep messaging apps on.

Note damage before leaving

Go round the car with the company and get every existing mark written down. Check the fuel level at the same time.

Running late? Tell the company your new arrival time so the handover can move with it.

Most Agadir Airport cars include a handover charge, and the totals above already count it.

Agadir Al Massira Airport guide: services, parking and the drive

Meeting the company, parking during the hire and the first roads after pickup.

Collecting and returning your car

  1. Check the handover charge shown inside each airport price before you book.
  2. Use your actual times since night hours can raise the price.
  3. Flying out of Marrakech? Set Marrakech Airport as the return.
Returning the car Drive to the return place on your voucher, and call the number on it if you are running late.

Driving away from Agadir Airport

  1. Drive on the right on every road in Morocco.
  2. Roundabouts follow the give-way signs and lines.
  3. Give-way line at the ring? Traffic already circling goes first.
Heading for Marrakech? The A3 motorway has toll booths. They take cash, bank cards or a Jawaz tag; ask the company whether the car has one.

At the airport

  • Meeting point is printed in your booking voucher and varies from car to car.
  • Licence in hand Bring the original with details in Latin script; copies and electronic licences are refused.
  • Phone reachable Keep the number you booked with working from the day before pickup.

Parking and the return

  • Parking fees during the hire are paid by you, as are fuel and fines.
  • Fuel level Bring the car back as full as you found it; a shortfall is charged at the company’s rates.
  • Very dirty car? If dirt hinders the check at return, washing is charged to you.

Can you hire a car at Agadir Airport with no deposit?

All six cars above start with no deposit, and none needs a credit card. Other cars at the airport differ, so read each listing.

The rest of the price goes to the company at pickup, by whichever methods that car lists.

Any card the company does require must be a physical embossed card in the main driver’s name; a debit card only counts when the voucher says so.

Debit card only? There are plenty of cars in Morocco that need no credit card.

Cars with no deposit are offered in the other Moroccan towns as well.

The drive into Agadir runs on national roads rather than motorway. Taroudant is east on the RN10.

Marrakech is reached on the A3 motorway, while Essaouira lies up the coast on the RN1.

What to know before driving out of Agadir Airport

Settle into the car before joining the main road, and keep long drives for daylight.

Speed on each road

NARSA, the road safety agency, gives 20, 40 or 60 km/h in towns, 80 on most national roads, 100 on some, and 120 on motorways.

Equipment in the boot

NARSA lists a yellow vest, a warning triangle and spare bulbs as kit to carry. Confirm with the company that all three are there.

Night on rural roads

UK travel advice says poor lighting can make night driving dangerous, with animals or pedestrians on the road.

Police checks

Police and gendarmes run roadside checks, and speed cameras are in use. Keep the car papers and your licence handy.

UK travel advice gives 150 for an ambulance or fire and 190 for police. Report any accident to the company right away, with a police report unless it says otherwise.

The renter pays fuel, tolls, parking and fines.

Tarmac roads only

Unsurfaced coastal and desert tracks are off limits from Agadir, however tempting the beach or the view.

The Morocco hire conditions limit every car to paved public roads. Unsurfaced beach and mountain tracks fall outside that rule.

Morocco only

Your Agadir hire car cannot leave the country, by road or by sea, at any point of the rental.

Driving across any border breaks the rental terms, and no cross-border cover exists for Morocco, so the car cannot go on a ferry either.

Can you pick up at Agadir Airport and drop off at Marrakech Airport?

Yes, many cars allow it, and Casablanca Airport is an option too. Choose the two airports in the search to see the full price.

Pick the other airport

Use Marrakech Airport as the return place rather than a city address. Any change brings a fresh price.

Find out where to meet

Ask the company where the handback happens at the second airport, and leave time before your flight.

Agree changes in advance

Contact the company if plans move and get the new return confirmed. A different drop-off is priced again.

It is about 3 hours on the A3, so ending the trip at Marrakech Airport works well for a flight home from there.

Casablanca Airport is a longer run, about 5 hours north.

Agadir Airport prices across the year

Each bar is a typical daily price for seven days collected and returned at Agadir Airport. Read it as a guide to timing.

N/A means no car was offered for that month.

The prices take in any handover charge for the airport. Times, extras and cover still change what you pay.

A rental day lasts 24 hours and a part day counts as a full one. Tell the company in advance if you want to extend.

Drivers, children and bags for an Agadir pickup

Put every traveller’s needs into the booking so the airport handover runs smoothly.

Sharing the driving

Add the second driver as an extra in the booking. Both licences are checked, and each driver must meet the age and experience rules on the car.

Child seats

Request a seat for each child when booking, as an extra. Check it is the right size before leaving the airport.

Bags and boards

The cars above seat five, and seven-seaters are offered too. Long holiday luggage may need a bigger car or a roof rack extra.

Your pet

Only small pets may ride along, kept in a carrier for the whole hire. Make room for the carrier in your plans.

What does car rental insurance cover at Agadir Airport?

Each car shows the cover it starts with, and the upgrades differ. Look at the excess on each level, not only the price.

Minimum coverageIncluded as standard
  • Damage to other vehicles (TPL) (included)
  • Damage to your hire car (not included)
Basic coverage
  • Limited collision cover (CDW) (included)
  • Damage to other vehicles (TPL) (included)
  • Glass and tyre damage (not included)
Full Coverage
  • Limited driver liability (Super CDW) (included)
  • Damage to other vehicles (TPL) (included)
Full Coverage Plus
  • Full damage cover (included)
  • No driver liability for accident damage (included)

Basic at no extra cost. The Sandero, i10 and C3 above start with Basic (CDW) included, so damage to the car is covered.

No deposit, but an excess. None of the cars above holds a deposit, yet the Sandero, i10 and C3 still carry an excess if the car is damaged.

Full does not lower the excess. On the Sandero, the Full Coverage upgrade keeps the same excess as Basic.

Plus removes the excess. The i10 and C3 offer Full Coverage Plus, which takes the excess to zero.

Standard cover leaves out damage to wheels, the underbody, the windscreen and the interior, and none applies to deliberate damage through vandalism or neglect. Each level sets its own car hire excess, so compare that figure as well as the price.

Driving licence checks at Agadir Airport

Show the original licence in Latin script, in date until the hire ends. Copies and digital versions are not accepted.

When to carry an IDP

Pair a home-only licence with an International Driving Permit. UK travel advice says UK licence holders need the 1968 IDP.

Driver requirements

Minimum age and licence years vary between cars, even similar ones. The company may refuse a driver who falls short.

Pack your passport with the voucher; both are needed for the rental agreement.

Giving the car back at Agadir Airport

Check the fuel and the state of the car before the return.

Fuel to the same mark

  • Return the tank at the level you were given. Missing fuel is billed at the company’s rate; extra is not refunded.

Dirt and sand

  • A car too dirty to inspect is cleaned at your expense.

Allow time for the check before your flight, and agree any extension with the company first.

Cancelling an Agadir Airport booking

Cancel and rebook if you want a different car or dates.

Notice you need

Give seven days for an ordinary car, thirty for a luxury car or convertible, or 24 hours if you added the short-notice cancellation option.

If you cancel late

The advance is kept on late cancellations and no-shows. Refunds made in time lose a 6% payment fee.

Agadir Airport car hire questions

Can I hire an automatic at Agadir Airport?

Yes, automatics are offered. Confirm the gearbox on the listing itself; the model name alone does not settle it.

Is Basic cover included at Agadir Airport?

On the Sandero, i10 and C3 above, yes, at no extra cost. An excess still applies until you add Full Coverage Plus where it is offered.

Does Full Coverage remove the excess?

Not on the Sandero above, where it is the upgrade. Full Coverage Plus is the level that brings the excess down to zero.

Is there an extra charge for a night arrival?

It can be. A pickup and return in the small hours may cost more, so enter your real flight times.

Can I take the car from Agadir to another country?

No. A hire car from Morocco must stay in the country for the whole rental.
