No
matter where you are traveling to or for however long, we can provide
you with a great selection of rental cars to make driving a memorable
part of your trip! Many drivers choose a long term rental over other
methods of transportation such as buses, trains, and taxi cabs,
because of the added convenience of your own personal car and the
high costs associated with significant use of public transportation.
Why
Choose Long Term Rentals? Reserving
a long term rental is a great idea for anyone that desires personal
transportation for any period longer than two weeks. You save money
by not having to pay for individual public transportation methods
every time you need to go somewhere, you save time by being able to
pick up and go when you want to, and you gain added special memories
by being able to explore new places and travel off the traditional
beaten path!

Getting
to Morocco by car, train or boat To
drive to Morocco, you head for Algeciras in Spain. You can travel by
car, motorbike, coach or car sleeper. You can cross the Straits of
Gibraltar by car ferry to Tangier (2h30) or Ceuta ( lh30). Ferries
aise operate from Sete (France) to Tangier (the crossing takes 36
heurs) and from Almeria to Nador or Melilla. There is no particular
formality required of motorists. However, selling a vehicle or
leaving it as surety are prohibited. lnsurance is compulsory. Obtain
a green card before your departure or at the frontier. For caravans,
trailers and motor boats, a customs certificate or triptych is
required. You are advised to obtain an international camping and
caravanning passbook. Cars, caravans and mobile homes are not allowed
to stay in Morocco more than 6 months.
Formalities Do not forget your passport and check its validity. If your trip
is organised by a travel agent, groups of more than three people from
some countries require no more than an identity card. Some
nationalities need to have a visa. Ask the Moroccan Consulate for
information. A "tourist" visit is limited to three months.
If you take your pet with you, obtain a health certificate no more
than 10 days old, as well as an anti rabies certificate less than 6
months old.
Currency The
Moroccan currency is the Dirham (DH) divided into 100 centimes. There
are 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 DH notes, 1, 5 and 10 DH coins and 5, 10,
20 and 50 centime coins. You can only obtain Dirhams in Morocco. Do
not change money in the streets, it is illegal. The best place to
change it is at a bank or approved change office (indicated by a
golden sign). No commission is charged and you will be given a slip
which will be required at the end of your stay to change any
remaining Dirhams back into the original currency. You can withdraw
money in banks with a credit card and a cheque book, or directly from
a cash dispenser in some large towns. Credit cards are generally
accepted in major hotels, shops and restaurants, and sometimes even
in the souks!
Health Morocco is a safe country, however a certain number of minimal
precautions should be taken, particularly in the south: avoid water
from oueds (rivers) and itinerant water sellers. Refresh yourself
with the excellent bottled spring water: Sidi Harazem, Imouzzer and
Sidi Ali are still waters, while Oulmès is sparkling. If you are
prone to intestinal problems, take an appropriate medicine with you.
Make enquiries before swimming in a oued (river) or a lake. Take
precautions against insect bites and sunburn. If necessary, tourist
offices and major hotels can put you in touch with doctors who speak
English, French or other languages.
