Moroccans abroad: a guide to renting a car when you arrive

Coming home for the holidays or a family event? Renting a car straight from the airport saves you taxi trips and leaves you free to visit the whole family. Here is how to get organised.

Every summer, Operation Marhaba supports the return of hundreds of thousands of Moroccans living abroad. Today many prefer to fly in and rent a car locally rather than drive from Europe. It is often faster, less tiring and cheaper.

1Why rent at the airport?

  • No waiting: your car is waiting for you at the exit, with a MobilityLine agent and a sign bearing your name.
  • Freedom: family visits, shopping, trips to the beach, without depending on relatives or taxis.
  • Peace of mind: a recent, well-maintained vehicle, with assistance if there is a problem.

2Book at the right time

From late June to late August, and during celebrations (Eid, weddings), demand explodes at Casablanca Mohammed V Airport. The popular categories (7-seaters, SUVs, automatics) go first. Book as soon as you buy your plane ticket, ideally several weeks ahead. Cancellation remains free up to 24 hours before pick-up.

3Documents to bring

  • Your driving licence (licence from your country of residence or Moroccan licence), valid;
  • Your National ID card or passport;
  • A means of payment in the main driver's name for the deposit.

Your European or Canadian licence is accepted without an international licence. All the details in our article Foreign licence in Morocco.

4How does the airport welcome work?

Send us your flight number on WhatsApp. If your flight is delayed, we adjust the handover time. When you arrive, an agent welcomes you, inspects the vehicle with you and hands you the keys. On return, same procedure: you drop the car off at the airport before your flight.

TipTake a few photos of the vehicle at handover, as well as of the odometer and fuel gauge. It's a good habit with any rental company.
