What documents do I need to rent a car in Morocco?
Renting a car in Morocco is one of the best ways to explore the country — from Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara Desert, and the coastal cities. If you plan to book a vehicle through CarsRental.ma, here is a clear and modern guide to the documents you should prepare before pickup.
Here's a clean and comprehensive checklist to help you rent with confidence and start your trip smoothly.
Essential identification documents
Before picking up your car — whether at the airport or delivered to your hotel via CarsRental.ma — you will need:
Passport or identity document
A valid passport for tourists, or a valid ID card for residents.
Driver’s license
A valid driver’s license from your country. If it is in Spanish, English, French, or Arabic, that is usually sufficient.
International driving permit (optional)
It is not mandatory, but it can be helpful if your license is written in another language.
Financial documents
Make the handover faster by having these ready.
Credit card for the deposit
A credit card in the name of the main driver is required to hold the deposit.
Booking confirmation
Simply display the email or confirmation message from CarsRental.ma.
Insurance
If you use CarsRental.ma's insurance, you do not need any additional documents. If you bring your own insurance, please bring your policy.
Additional documents (if applicable)
Some trips may require a bit more information.
Second driver
You must present the passport and driver’s license of the second driver, just like the main driver.
Traveling with children
For child seats, confirmation of the child’s age is sometimes requested.
Long trips or desert routes
For routes like Marrakech → Merzouga / Ouarzazate / Agadir, CarsRental.ma may ask for your itinerary to recommend the ideal car.
