View this classMost Essaouira cars are small economy models, with a smaller choice of SUVs and a few people carriers. Tile prices start from the cheapest car in each class for the week above, though a typical delivered car costs over €59 a day.
The rental conditions are the same everywhere in Morocco, so a car delivered here follows the national rules; deposits and cover still vary by car.
Every Essaouira car is delivered to the address you give, whether a hotel, a riad or a flat.
Type the hotel, riad or flat address when booking. Most deliveries carry a charge that is already inside the price; some have none.
Collect the car at Marrakech Airport instead and drive over: the road to Essaouira takes about two hours forty-five minutes.
The voucher gives the meeting point and the company’s phone number. Keep your own phone on from the day before so the company can reach you.
Essaouira Airport is listed as a handover place, but no car is offered there, so plan on delivery.
No Essaouira car on offer asks for a credit card, and most need no deposit. Each car still lists its own rules.
The balance is paid to the company on delivery, by the methods that car accepts. A zero deposit does not by itself mean you can pay the balance in cash.
Most cars in Marrakech and Agadir need no credit card either, which helps on a one-way trip.
To keep your card completely free, pick a car with no deposit.
Marrakech is about two hours forty-five minutes inland on the RN8. Agadir and Taghazout are a similar time down the coast.
Closer to Essaouira: Sidi Kaouki, about 25 min.
Essaouira is linked by national roads, not motorways: the RN8 to Marrakech and the RN1 along the coast.
You pay for fuel, parking, tolls and any fines yourself during the rental.
Only paved public roads are allowed. Sandy tracks to beaches and dunes are off limits for every car, four-wheel-drive included.
UK travel advice says poor lighting can make night driving dangerous, with pedestrians and animals on the road. Finish a Marrakech run in daylight.
UK travel advice gives 190 for the police and 150 for ambulance and fire. Save the rental company’s number from the voucher as well.
After an accident covered by the insurance, ring the company at once and get a police report, unless it says no. Skip either and cover can lapse.
The car cannot cross any border from Morocco, and no cross-border option is offered, so plan the whole trip inside the country.
Yes, and in Casablanca. Set the return city in the search; every one-way carries an extra charge, which is in the price shown.
Settle the return place at booking. Changing it mid-trip needs the company’s agreement first.
The bars show a typical daily price for seven-day hires that start on the 15th, delivery included.
Essaouira week-long hires from the 15th of every month. A grey N/A bar marks a month with no prices; its height means nothing.
No car carries a price from April onwards, so spring and summer trips need a fresh look nearer the date.
Each rental day is 24 hours, and even a short overrun is charged as a full day.
Essaouira’s list is split fairly evenly between manual and automatic cars. The gearbox is stated on every offer.
A few seven-seat cars are offered, people carriers among them. Check the seats and the boot with your luggage in mind.
Infant carriers, child seats and boosters appear on the national extras list; check the offer and request one with the booking.
Where offered, a second named driver is an extra priced on the offer and has to clear the same age and licence bar as you.
Cover levels and the deposit at each level are shown on the car. Compare the two side by side.
Four possible levels. The ladder climbs from Minimum to Full Coverage Plus, though a given car may not show every rung.
Not covered as standard. Standard insurance excludes damage to the wheels, undercarriage, windscreen and interior.
Ways to lose cover. Deliberate damage through vandalism or neglect makes the insurance invalid.
Optional protection. Theft protection and personal accident insurance are on Morocco’s extras list too.
Each car lists its levels, and what the excess covers changes from one to the next.
The licence from your own country, in the original, with Latin lettering and valid until at least the return. No photocopies or digital licences.
Licences that only count at home should travel with an International Driving Permit; UK travel advice says UK licence holders need the 1968 version.
Each car sets its own minimum age and years held, and similar cars can differ. Check before paying.
Your passport and booking voucher are needed too when you sign the contract.
Want more days? Ask the company before your booked return time.
A confirmed booking cannot be edited; you cancel and book again within the deadline.
Give a week’s notice for an everyday car or 30 days for a luxury model or convertible; the short-notice option shortens that to one day. Miss the window, or the delivery, and the advance is forfeited.
Email customer support with your voucher. The refund is paid within fourteen days of the request, less a 6% payment charge on the advance.
No car is offered at Essaouira Airport; every Essaouira car comes by delivery to your address. Flying into Marrakech, you can also collect at Marrakech Airport.
Most cars have none. A few set a daily limit, shown on the offer with the charge per extra kilometre.
If a breakdown or another event beyond its control is the cause, you are given a substitute from the same class or higher, at the price and on the terms you already agreed.
During the first 24 hours after you confirm and pay, and before the car is delivered, either side may cancel; you get the advance back less the payment fee.
Only a small animal, and only in a travel carrier for the whole rental.
Give the address and dates, then weigh deposit, cover and full price car by car before reserving.
