Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) delivery

We meet arriving guests inside the Marrakech Menara Airport arrivals hall — Terminal 1 for scheduled European carriers and Terminal 2 for regional Moroccan flights. Our driver waits with a personalised name sign in the greeting area past customs. Keys-in-hand handover typically takes under five minutes, contract signed on tablet, deposit imprint on your card. You walk from your suitcase to the driver’s seat without visiting a rental counter.

Late-night and delayed flights. Between 00:00 and 06:00 we still meet you at arrivals; there is no off-hours surcharge, ever. We track your flight number in real time — if your flight lands three hours late at 03:15, our driver is there at 03:15, not 22:00. Missed connection, rescheduled to the next morning? Message us on WhatsApp and we reschedule the meet without a fee. If your baggage is delayed, we wait — no ticking meter.

Hotel & riad delivery zones inside Marrakech

Free delivery to any address inside the Marrakech city limits — no surcharge, whichever neighbourhood you’re in:

• Gueliz — business hotels and modern apartments off Avenue Mohammed V. Straight-forward valet-style handover in front of the lobby.
• Hivernage — 5-star resorts (Four Seasons, La Mamounia, Movenpick). Delivery to the porte-cochère; concierge holds the keys if you’re arriving later than expected.
• Medina — riads inside the walled city. Cars can’t enter the pedestrianised alleys, so we meet you outside the nearest gate (Bab Doukkala, Bab Rob, Bab Ighli, Bab Nkob…) — tell us the gate and we’ll be there with luggage-cart support if needed.
• Palmeraie — resorts north of the city. Add ten minutes for the drive from our office; still zero delivery fee.

Delivery outside the Marrakech commune — Ourika, Amizmiz, Ouirgane, Essaouira handover — is possible with 24-hour notice; a small transport fee applies and is shown before you confirm.

One-way rentals from Marrakech

Planning a road trip? Drop off in Casablanca, Agadir, or Tangier — free of charge when the rental is 5 days or longer. Shorter one-way rentals show a transparent inter-city fee before you confirm; never a surprise at pickup. If your trip loops back to Marrakech, you skip the drop-off fee entirely.

Starting prices below are the low season floor. Peak-season (Christmas, Easter, July–August) and short rentals (1–2 days) run higher. See the live fleet for the exact rate for your dates.

Popular road trips from Marrakech

Marrakech → Ouarzazate — cross the High Atlas

A four-hour drive over the Tichka Pass (2,260 m) — winding, spectacular, and a strong test of any rental car. The road is paved end-to-end and safe for a compact if the driver takes the switchbacks slowly, but many guests upgrade to a Duster or Vitara for the higher clearance and stronger torque. Stop at Aït Ben Haddou (UNESCO kasbah, filming set for many Hollywood epics) on the way in.

Marrakech → Essaouira — Atlantic coast, 2h30 direct

Straight west on the N8, mostly flat, well-signed. An economy car handles it fine. Argan-tree stops on the roadside sell fresh oil and cooperative honey. Essaouira itself is walkable — park at the harbour edge and explore the medina, fishing port, and windswept ramparts on foot.

Marrakech → Agafay Desert — half-day escape

Forty minutes south-west of Marrakech, Agafay is a stony desert of rolling hills — far more accessible than the Sahara for a day trip. A 4×4 is not strictly required if you stay on paved tracks, but it opens up off-road access to camel-trek departure points and desert camps. Sunset over the Atlas from Agafay is the classic Instagram shot.

Marrakech → Ourika Valley — Atlas foothills

An hour south into the Atlas foothills, the Ourika Valley hosts Berber villages, roadside tagine stops, and Setti Fatma’s seven waterfalls at the road’s end. Half-day trip in a compact; a full day if you plan to hike up to the falls. Traffic is light except on Friday and Sunday afternoons (Marrakchi weekend outings).

Requirements at pickup

• An International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended for non-Latin-alphabet licences and often requested by insurers in the event of an incident.
• A credit card in the main driver’s name for the security deposit (Visa or Mastercard). We do not process the deposit — it is a pre-authorisation only, released on return.
• Minimum age 21 for standard categories, 23+ for premium and 4×4. No young-driver surcharge on standard categories.
• A photocopy of the licence + passport handed to us at pickup — kept confidentially for the rental period.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent in Marrakech?

For most non-French driving licences an IDP is strongly recommended and often requested by insurers in case of an incident. EU, UK and North American licences in the Latin alphabet are accepted at pickup, but police checks may still ask for one.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Marrakech?

Renters must be 21 with a driving licence held for at least one year. Some premium categories require 23+ with two years of licence history. No young-driver surcharge on standard categories.

Is insurance included in the price?

Every EKSCARS rental includes third-party liability, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), and theft protection. Excess reduction and full-cover upgrades are available at pickup or during booking.

Can I pick up my car at RAK airport 24/7?

Yes. We meet you inside the arrivals hall at Marrakech Menara (RAK) 24 hours a day, including late-night and delayed flights, at no additional fee.

Do you charge extra fees for one-way rentals?

Drop-off is free between Marrakech, Casablanca, Agadir and Tangier when the rental is 5 days or longer. Shorter one-way rentals carry a transparent inter-city fee shown before you confirm.

Which credit cards do you accept for the deposit?

Visa and Mastercard credit cards are accepted for the security deposit. Debit-card alternatives are available on request — WhatsApp our team for confirmation before booking.

Which categories are available with automatic transmission?

Automatic-transmission cars sit in the Compact and Small-SUV brackets (Renault Clio Auto, Hyundai i10 Auto, Kia Picanto Auto, occasional Peugeot 208 Auto). Availability is limited, so we recommend booking automatics at least a week ahead — especially in high season.

Can I book by WhatsApp without a credit card?

Yes — reservation-only bookings can be made by WhatsApp without a card. A credit card is still required at pickup for the security deposit imprint (or a debit-card alternative agreed in advance). Payment for the rental itself can be settled at pickup in cash (MAD or EUR), by card, or by SEPA transfer for long-term rentals.
