Car Rental

How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Car in Marrakech? Real Prices vs the “€9 a Day” Ads

In short: Renting a car in Marrakech with Getaround Rent Car costs €35 per day for a Dacia Sandero or Logan, €40 for a Renault Clio 5, Peugeot 208 or Opel Corsa and €45 for the automatic Dacia Duster, with everything included: comprehensive insurance with an 8,000 MAD excess, 24/7 assistance, 200 km per day, a free second driver, a baby seat on request and free delivery anywhere in Marrakech or at Menara Airport at any hour. A week costs at most seven times the daily rate, and a month €650 for the Clio 5 or 7,500 MAD for the other models. The only amounts on top are the refundable €800 deposit and €120 for a delivery or return in Casablanca, Agadir or Essaouira. Advertised prices of €9 or €15 a day are the bare car: insurance, second driver, airport fee and fuel policy are added at the desk, and the final total usually lands in the same range, with a much larger card hold.

Renting a car in Marrakech with Getaround Rent Car costs €35 to €45 per day, everything included: comprehensive insurance, 24/7 assistance, 200 km per day, a second driver, a baby seat and free delivery anywhere in Marrakech or at Menara Airport. The much lower prices you see on comparison sites are real, but they are the price of the bare car. By the time insurance, deposit, airport fee, second driver and fuel policy are added at the desk, the difference has usually disappeared. This guide shows our full price grid by day, week and month, what each line of a rental price means, three worked budgets for typical trips, what makes the price go up or down, and how to compare any offer line by line before you book.

Our prices by day, week and month

Car Gearbox Per day Per week (7 days) Per month

The weekly figure is simply 7 times the daily rate; rentals of a week or more get a lower daily rate, ask us for your dates. Nothing is added at pick-up. The only other amounts are the refundable deposit of €800 and, if you want the car delivered or returned in Casablanca, Agadir or Essaouira, €120 per transfer (Fes 1,500 MAD, Tangier 2,000 MAD). Prices are in euros, the monthly rates for the models other than the Clio 5 in dirhams, as we publish them.

What a “€9 a day” price usually leaves out

Comparison sites and airport counters compete on the headline number, so the headline number is stripped of everything that can be sold separately. Before you compare, check each of these lines in the small print:

  • Insurance and excess. The cheap rate often carries a basic cover with a very high excess. Reducing it means buying an extra daily “full cover” at the desk, which can cost as much as the rental itself. Ours is comprehensive from the start, with an excess of 8,000 MAD.
  • Deposit. A large hold on your credit card, sometimes several thousand euros with the basic cover, released weeks after return. Ours is €800, returned at the end of the rental. Why we keep one and what “no deposit” offers really mean: car rental in Marrakech without deposit.
  • Airport or out-of-hours fee. Picking up at the airport, at night or on a Sunday is often charged extra. We deliver at Menara Airport at any hour for free.
  • Second driver and child seat. Usually paid per day each. Both are free with us.
  • Fuel policy. “Full to empty” prepaid tanks are billed above pump price, and unused fuel is not refunded. We hand the car over with fuel and you return it at the same level. See fuel in Morocco.
  • Mileage. Some contracts limit kilometres and charge each extra one. We include 200 km per day, 1,400 km for a week, enough for a loop to Essaouira, Agadir and back; beyond that, 2 MAD per km.
  • Young driver fee. Applied below 25 by many brands. We rent from 21 without a surcharge.
  • Booking and cancellation. Prepaid “non-refundable” rates are the cheapest headline and the most expensive change of plan. With us, a 30 % deposit confirms the booking and cancellation is free up to 48 hours before pick-up.
  • Payment method. Many desks require a credit card in the driver’s name; a debit card is refused and the booking is lost with the prepayment. We accept a payment card or cash for the rental and the deposit.

With a headline “€9 a day” offer, the same week starts at €63 and then adds, at the desk, the cover reduction, the airport fee, the second driver and often a prepaid tank. Do the sum with the real lines of the offer you are looking at; in our experience the total lands in the same range as ours, with a much larger card hold.

Driving a rental car out of Marrakech: one daily rate for the whole car, 200 km per day included
One daily rate for the whole car, whatever the number of passengers.

Price per person, not per car

A rental is priced per car, so the cost per traveller falls with each seat used. A Logan at €35 is €17.50 per person for a couple and under €9 per person for four. Compare that with two or three seats in an organised minibus for a single day trip, and the car usually wins from two people, and you keep it for the rest of the stay. The day trips from Marrakech guide gives the distances; all of them fit inside the 200 km per day.

What makes the price go up or down

  • Season. Demand peaks at Easter, in July and August, at Christmas and New Year. Book early for those dates; our public prices stay the same but availability does not. See Christmas and New Year and summer.
  • Duration. A week or more lowers the daily rate; a month costs €650 for the Clio 5 and 7,500 MAD for the other models, with routine servicing at our charge. See long-term rental.
  • Gearbox. Automatic cars are rarer in Morocco. Our automatic Duster is €45 per day; see SUV rental in Marrakech.
  • One-way. Returning the car in Casablanca, Agadir or Essaouira costs €120, in Fes 1,500 MAD, in Tangier 2,000 MAD; returning it in Marrakech or at the airport costs nothing.
  • Extra kilometres. 2 MAD per km beyond 200 km per day, counted at return; tell us before a long itinerary.

How to compare any offer with ours in five minutes

  1. Open the other offer for your exact dates and the same category of car.
  2. Add the cover that brings the excess to a level you accept, the second driver, the child seat, the airport or night fee, and the young-driver fee if it applies.
  3. Note the deposit or pre-authorisation and whether a debit card is accepted.
  4. Note the fuel policy and the cancellation terms.
  5. Compare that total with ours: €35 to €45 per day, €800 refundable, free cancellation up to 48 hours before. Whichever is lower for your trip is the right choice.
