Good to know
Rental age requirements generally aren't a one-size-fits-all. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you might run into extra costs or rules. Check the rules for the supplier you choose before booking your rental in Morocco.
Add a car seat to your Ouarzazate car hire booking if you're bringing the kids. Requirements change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age and size is always the safest option.

Driving in Morocco may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Be aware that traffic travels on the right side of the road.
Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 55kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Morocco is 0.02%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.
The Moroccan dirham (MAD) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and outings. Pay by card when it's possible, but have some cash handy when electronic payments aren't accepted.
Arabic is the language used most widely across the country.
