Renting a car in Casablanca is simple, as long as you arrive with the right documents. Here’s the complete list to avoid any surprises when picking up your vehicle, whether you’re a Moroccan resident or a foreign visitor.
1. A valid ID
- Moroccan residents: a valid national ID card (CNI).
- Non-residents and foreigners: a valid passport.
2. A driving licence held for at least 2 years
The original driving licence must have been held for at least 2 years. International licences are accepted, as are European, American and Canadian licences, usually without needing a translation.
3. The minimum age requirement
The main driver must be at least 22 years old. Some premium vehicle categories may require a higher minimum age — check with the agency when booking.
4. A payment method for the deposit
A credit card in the main driver’s name is generally required for the security deposit (insurance deductible), even if the rental itself is paid in cash. The deposit amount is usually equal to 10% of the vehicle’s value.
Good to know before booking
- Prepare a digital copy (photo or scan) of your ID and licence — this speeds up pickup considerably, especially at the airport.
- Make sure your licence is clearly readable and undamaged.
- If several people will be driving during your trip, each additional driver must present the same documents.
At AidoCar, you can send your documents directly on WhatsApp before you arrive: your contract will be ready and pickup takes only a few minutes, at our Maârif agency or directly at Mohammed V Airport.
