About Renting a Car at Marrakesh Airport

Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) is Morocco's second-largest airport and serves airlines from across Europe – with 55 rental companies making it easy to pick up your car on arrival. The airport is just 6 km southwest of the city center, providing a smooth start to your journey. Compare prices among the many operators to find the best deal.

From Terminal 1, it takes 10–15 minutes to drive to Djemaa el-Fna via Route de l'Aéroport. The Palmeraie area with its luxury resorts is reached in 20 minutes north. Agafay Desert, popular for camel riding and glamping, is 25 km south and takes about 30 minutes.

Pick up your car at the rental counter in the arrivals hall right after baggage claim – all major chains are represented on-site. Choose an SUV if you plan to drive to Draa Valley or the Sahara, as roads can be rough. Always fill up with a full tank in Marrakech before heading to more remote areas.

Is there 24-hour car rental at Marrakech Menara Airport? Many of the 55 rental companies at RAK are open during airport hours, but check exact times with your chosen provider when booking. How long does it take to drive from RAK to Ouarzazate?

Ouarzazate is about 200 km east of the airport via N9 over Tizi n'Tichka pass and takes approximately 3–3.5 hours. Do I need an international driving permit to rent a car in Marrakech? EU driving licenses are accepted by most rental companies, but an international driving permit is recommended as a backup for police checks on country roads.
