First time renting a car abroad

[Dilliron]

Yo, heading to Morocco for the first time and planning to drive from Marrakech to the desert and then up the coast. Never rented a car in a foreign country before, what should I know so I don't get fleeced at the counter?

First time abroad and you picked a fun one, Morocco is amazing to drive but the rental counters can be tricky with extra charges popping up out of nowhere. Book online ahead of time with a provider that shows the full price including basic insurance, and take a slow video walkaround of the vehicle before you even touch the keys so they cannot pin old dents on you later. A list of places where you can rent a car in Morocco with transparent pricing and airport pickup in cities like Marrakech and Casablanca is over at https://getrentacar.com/en-US/morocco .

Grab a car with decent ground clearance even on paved roads, some routes into the desert and the smaller coastal towns have surprise potholes that will eat a low sedan alive.
