Welcome to Fes! Renting a car is a great way to explore this fascinating city and the rest of Morocco. In this guide, you'll find all the important information you need regarding pickup at Fes-Saiss Airport (FEZ), costs, and local driving conditions.
Most car rental offices are located in the airport arrival area, immediately after the baggage claim hall. Some companies offer a free transfer from the airport to their nearby office, but this is not always available. It is advisable to inquire in advance when making your reservation. Commonly available car rental companies at the airport include both international and local firms.
Fes and its surroundings offer diverse terrain, so choosing a car depends on your travel plans. Here are some popular choices:
| Car Class | Daily Price (EUR, approx.) |
| Economy | 20-30 |
| Compact | 25-40 |
| Mid-size | 35-50 |
| SUV | 50-80 |
| Luxury | 80+ |
Prices may vary depending on seasonal changes and availability.
Economy and compact cars are ideal for city driving, while an SUV may be more comfortable if you plan to explore mountainous areas. Luxury cars, of course, prioritize comfort and style.
In Morocco, you generally need to be over 21 to rent a car, but some companies may apply a higher age limit and charge a surcharge for younger drivers. An international driving permit is recommended, but in most cases, a Hungarian driving license is sufficient. You will need your driving license, identification document, and a valid credit card to make a reservation. The amount of the deposit depends on the chosen car and the insurance package, but it generally ranges from 300-1000 EUR. The amount on the credit card must be sufficient to cover the deposit.
Most car rental companies offer basic insurance, but it is worth considering additional insurance packages. CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) covers collision damage, while Theft Protection covers damage caused by theft or vandalism. Excess Reduction reduces the amount of the deductible. Ask the car rental employee about the different insurance options and choose the one that best suits your needs.
Traffic in Morocco can sometimes be chaotic, especially in cities. Speed limits are generally lower than in Europe. The speed limit on main roads is 100 km/h, and in cities it is 40-60 km/h. There are toll sections on the highways, where you can pay with cash or credit card. Parking in cities can be difficult and often requires payment. It is advisable to pay attention to local signs and traffic rules.
