A Compact car like a Dacia Duster at Rabat Airport costs around £46 a day for October 2026 and fits the Moroccan motorways. It seats 5 people but holds only 3 bags, so a full car means soft luggage on laps. An Economy car like a Dacia Sandero takes 2 bags at £31 a day, while an Intermediate costs £56 a day. Automatics make up 61% of cars offered, though a Compact automatic costs £59 a day compared to £44 for a manual. Hybrids are only 8% of cars offered and electric options are absent, so you will almost certainly fuel with petrol or diesel.
