Car rental at Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport: how it works

Tangier is the gateway to the north: Chefchaouen, Tetouan, Asilah and the Mediterranean coast are easy to reach by car. Here is how pick-up works at Ibn Battouta Airport.

In short : with MobilityLine, cars in Tangier are handed over at Ibn Battouta Airport, with a 24/7 welcome that follows your flight's actual arrival time. Prices start at MAD 170 per day (Dacia Sandero, 14 days or more) and delivery in town costs MAD 100.

1What to know before you land

  • Our sales point in Tangier is at Ibn Battouta Airport. You will find city cars to 7-seaters there, subject to availability.
  • Give your flight number when booking: if it is delayed, we adjust to the actual arrival time, including at night.
  • Bookings can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before pick-up.
  • If you arrive in Tangier other than by plane, we deliver the car in town for MAD 100.

Prices, the welcome and one-way returns are summarised on our car rental at Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport page.

2Pick-up in 4 steps

  1. WhatsApp message once you have your luggage: our agent meets you in the arrivals area. The exact meeting point is confirmed before you travel.
  2. Document check: licence, ID, the main driver's bank card and your booking confirmation.
  3. Inspection: walk-around with photos, fuel level and mileage recorded.
  4. Signature and departure: we explain the equipment and the number to call 24/7.
Tip from our agency

Take a few photos of the car yourself at pick-up and return, from several angles. It is the best protection in case of disagreement, with us or anywhere else.
