The minimum age to rent a car in Marrakech with Getaround Rent Car is 21, with a full driving licence, and there is no young-driver surcharge. Many international brands rent from 21 or 23 with a daily fee below 25, and some categories are closed below 25 or 30. If you are 18 to 20, no agency in Morocco will rent you a car legally, whatever an advert says. Here is what applies by age, what to bring, and how to make a first road trip in Morocco go smoothly.
Age rules, in short
| Your age | With Getaround Rent Car | Elsewhere, in general |
|---|---|---|
| 18 to 20 | Not possible | Not possible |
| 21 to 24 | Yes, any of our 6 cars, no surcharge | Often possible on small categories with a daily young-driver fee; automatic and SUV categories sometimes refused |
| 25 and over | Yes | Yes |
| Seniors | No upper age limit | Some brands cap at 70 or 75; check |
The licence must be a full licence, not a provisional or learner one. We do not require a minimum number of years since the licence was issued, but a driver who passed recently should be honest with themselves about a first drive in Marrakech traffic: start outside rush hours.
Second driver
The second driver is free with us and must also be 21 or older, with licence and ID shown at delivery. For a group of friends sharing the driving, name the two most experienced drivers.
What you pay at 21
Exactly the public price: €35 per day for a Dacia Sandero or Logan, €40 for a Renault Clio 5, Peugeot 208 or Opel Corsa, €45 for the automatic Dacia Duster, comprehensive insurance included with an excess of 8,000 MAD, 200 km per day, free delivery in Marrakech. The refundable deposit is €800 for every driver, whatever the age. See what a rental really costs in Marrakech for the comparison with counter prices, where the young-driver fee is one of the lines that inflates the “€9 a day” headline.
First road trip in Morocco: three pieces of advice
- Take the car in the morning, not at night after the flight, and drive out of the city before 8 am or after 10 am.
- Start with an easy road: Marrakech to Essaouira is flat, straight and has no toll. Save the Tizi n’Tichka for day two or three. See our Essaouira route and driving in Morocco guides.
- Do the check-out with care: photos of every panel, fuel gauge and odometer, and the written sheet signed by both sides. The deposit comes back in full when the car does.
Documents to bring
- Full driving licence, physical card (UK, EU, US, Canadian and most others accepted; no international permit needed).
- Passport or national ID card.
- Payment card or cash for the rental and the €800 deposit.
