Exuding all the exotic charm of North Africa, Marrakech is arguably the most charming and engaging of all the Moroccan cities. An important trading post throughout the ages, today it serves as the ideal hub from which to explore some of the enchanting villages of the breathtakingly beautiful High Atlas mountain region a short drive away. No visitor to Marrakech can ever resist the hustle and bustle of its monumental market area known as the Medina (the beating heart of the city), nor the chance to sample some of the most mouthwatering signature dishes in its many back-street eateries scattered all over town. The first thing to do in Marrakech is soak up the vibrant atmosphere, which normally begins with a saunter through the city's world-famous Djemaa El Fna precinct where a brave new world of bric-a-brac stalls, street entertainers, fortune-tellers, impromptu snack-bars and even snake charmers await you. After that, it's time to visit the Saadian Tombs housed in an atmospheric mausoleum from the Middle Ages that have thankfully been restored to their former glory. And don't miss the city's luxuriant 9,000 square-metre Majorelle Gardens acquired by Yves Saint Laurent in 1980, followed by a visit to Sultan Ahmed al Mansour's inspiring El Badi Palace. With a car hire in Marrakech you can also head for the Sahara (the world's largest desert) or drive north to Casablanca just 150 miles away.
Auto Europe can always find you the right vehicle for your trip, whether it's a few days' city sightseeing in Marrakech (with pick-up available in a choice of convenient downtown locations, like Marrakech Train Station) or an exciting road-trip into the Atlas Mountains and Sahara Desert, with the possibility of collecting your car from Marrakech Airport and being on your way in a few minutes. Founded in 1954, we are one of the world’s longest-established international car rental companies, having worked very hard to establish strong relationships with all the world's leading car hire suppliers. Check out what some of our previous customers thought about the quality of our services in the city by scrolling down and reading the comments they posted in our car hire reviews in Marrakech section below.
" Not a great one with Dollar agent unfortunately. "
" Very slow and bureaucratic check in experience. Not a well lit area so was unable to see the existing damages in the vehicle. When I returned the vehicle the customer service personnel insisted of a scratch in the car that was not in the vehicle back bumper at check-in. I'm 100% sure the scratch was in the vehicle from the time of check-in. Upon my arrival back to UK I received notification that the deposit on my credit card will be held until they determine the repair cost. "

" please update collection info to facilitate finding the right place. At first instance is stressful. Also, when we left the parking, we were asked to pay for the parking 6dhs that is inusual (also, we end up paying 10Dhs as on the gate could not bother to return the 4dhrs change). the amount is not very importan but the percentage of is 66.6% "
" When we went to collect the car it was difficult to identify where to go as it was not a cabin but a van and with a different name displayed (united rent instead of auto europe). The process will improve if this info is shared in the voucher so it is easier to identified. The rest is great "

" Easy booking "
" Easy pick up and drop off at Marrakech airport as we know where to go. Main issue was with the vehicle provided - although in adequate condition and correct vehicle type (small van with windows, eg Renault Kango), our vehicle rear seats did not tumble completely forward as the rear base was fixed and the rear seat not split. This caused difficulty loading our bikes, the 4 previous vans of different types (including another Express) have allowed a split rear and completely flat floor. This was clearly a more basic spec and much less flexible for luggage and passengers. Hertz should review their fleet as if we'd had another passenger this vehicle would not have been accepted. "

" I will continue to book with AutoEurope, as the experience with Locationauto was the exception to the norm. "
" Car was damaged and dirty. No alternative was offered when I pointed out the condition and asked for a properly prepared car. They claimed non was available and said I could cancel if I didn't take the car. The check out was disorganized and very time consuming. Worst car hire experience ever and firet time I've been disappointed with the service and vehicle provided when booking with AutoEurope. "

" In general when I search in autoeurope the choice has reduced considerably compared to previous years, and it seems that the zero-excess option is no longer offered. The one-thing that distinguished autoeurope in the past compared to the competition was the zero-excess offer. This is what brings me to autoeurope, I pay one amount with one-place and I know I am fully-insured and I do not have to quibble at check-in desk any longer. Now that this offer no longer is there, autoeurope has become like any other website, and often times I find cheaper prices elsewhere (either with the airline I got the tickets with). Please review your Value Proposition as I feel you will only be losing your market share rapidly if this does not change. "
" I paid considerably more for a Citroen C4X car because the roads in Morocco require a high car. When I arrived, I was allocated a normal low sedan (Skoda octavia). I showed the type of car reserved, but they were unable to help me and the reason given was that the remaining car fleet was limited to reservations only. I was offered a lower type of car without any adjustment in reservation or cost, which I had to accept since I could only drive a high car. Also, to add to my disappointment, the cost of insurance to have zero excess was applied to the reservation with a higher type of car than the one I was going to have to insure. and when I ask the answer is not persuasive, it is just "this is what the system allows me to do, I am only an employee here and I cannot speak to anyone at this time". In terms of cost, I ended up paying double to rent a lower type of vehicle (Kia Stelios). The car given to me is no longer in rental condition, with almost 100,000 kms on the odometer, it must be removed from the fleet. The engine was worn, the interior dirty, lots of salt/beach stains all over the cushions, the smell of cigarettes. I was disappointed, while clearly I could see 2 KIA Sportage parked and newer, but they only gave me this KIA Stelios choice. Even if people are nice and pretend to try and help, the service in itself is mediocre. you can see that from the moment the customer is not satisfied, they don't really know how to deal with the problem and certainly no willingness to solve it. The service is mediocre, the car worn, dirty with cushions moved after such usage, and the price was very high. The return of the car, I would have liked to be present until the end of the procedure and the closing of the contract with a clear and explicit receipt. Instead, they received the key and asked me to leave and that the rest will follow by email, so I had no control over this procedure, which does not seem fair to the customer. Given this experience, I will not be looking to make a reservation in the Hertz franchise in Morocco, unless I am shown that the repair of this incident is important for Hertz Morocco and that I am shown the intention to repair it with a discount on the additional cost that I suffered in this rental to return to a state of balance with the customer. As it stands today, I feel wronged: I paid for a type of car that was not available, and I received a car of an inferior type, and I paid the zero excess insurance on the value of the car of the superior type that I did not have.

First time I've had to have a rental car cleaned before retuning it but that was easily done. My only gripe is that I had pre-paid my rental through AutoEurope and there should have been nothing further to pay, however, a charge of 55 Moroccan Dirhams was subsequently taken from my credit card for no valid reason.

" I am deeply dissatisfied with the service I received from Auto Europe, particularly regarding their handling of a crucial issue I encountered with my booking. Despite my clear and reasonable request to correct the voucher to reflect the vehicle's actual specifications--specifically, the number of seats and doors--the company refused to make the necessary changes. I originally booked a 5-seater, 5-door car, which was essential as we were traveling with five people. However, the voucher provided did not mention the number of seats, leading to potential issues when picking up the vehicle. When I asked for this to be rectified, the company insisted that the vehicle booked was an "Economy 4-door Car Manual" and claimed the voucher already specified the number of passengers. This was misleading and did not address my concern. Even after I pointed out the inconsistency, providing clear evidence from their own confirmation email that I had booked a 5-seater, they responded with, "Our confirmations department has reviewed your case and told us the following: Correct information is on voucher 4 doors + 4 passengers. We will update information in our website. However, the car is still the same Kia Picanto or similar, which is an economy class vehicle. It is up to you to assess if it will be suitable for your travel, or change it for a bigger car." This response not only shifted the blame onto me but also failed to acknowledge their own mistake. As a result, I was left to manage the issue on my own, which was both frustrating and unprofessional. Despite this negative experience, I was satisfied with the LocationAuto service I received at the Marrakech airport. The local provider was professional and accommodating. However, I will never use LocationAuto for booking again. I will continue renting from the same local provider but through a different and more reliable website. I strongly advise potential customers to be cautious and double-check all details, as this company does not take responsibility for its errors. "

After waiting for more than an hour and being very persistent we got an old Dacia from 2005 instead. Very run down, but at least the AC worked.

" Driving out of the town quarzazate, to head back to the Marrakesh airport we were stopped by the road side police checkpoint. The car hire paper he said to be not in order and the car was being impounded. As we scrambled for answers we called the helpline number. The police officer took the phone and spoke with the helpline assistant, before handing the phone back to me. The helpline assistant said he was going to forward the required papers over 'Whatsapp' . The paper never arrived to my phone and as we called the helpline back the calls were not answered. The police officer got more irritated and time passes. It was only when the British helpline staff answered my call (on loud speaker) did the police change give way and demanded 200 MAD to let us go on our way. I think a note should be added to the 'helpline pack' explaining what to do if it happens again or a note added to the local website explaining what to do if this happens again. Sincerely yours, Kenneth "

" I don't know how much influence auto europe has with the hire companies, as to the quality of the cars they produce to hire. Do they save the old and marginal vehicles for customers of auto europe? Certainly I have not seen such a sorry bunch of vehicles before, and I travel a lot. As you can see from my altered booking, I changed from the cheapest company whose name I had never heard before, to Europcar, because they are an international company. That did not seem to help. "
" The car was picked up at Marrakech airport and having parked it up at a Hotel near the airport, drove the next day to Essaouira. 176km. The next morning the car would not start.

Spend best part of the rest of the morning with staff member, trying to get some answer from Europcar, and finally got a some people from Europcar Essaouira. They managed to get it started by pushing it down the road. They offered me the car they had come with. It was very dirty, inside and out and had no cover over the luggage space. I said I didn't want to keep it. They said I would have to drive to Agadir to replace it. 176km. It was replaced by a Fiat saloon with performed sufficiently. "

" Seemed to be good. Interesting to see however that a friend had initially looked for quotes on the website and when they came back later in the week, the quotes had gone up (obviously using cookies to determine interest and thus raising the price). When I went to book the price was still the original price. Naughty! "
" Collection took a very long time. We waited at the collection desk for almost an hour in a queue of about 20 people that didn't move very fast at all. At the desk, upon providing the paperwork printed from the website with the reservation number etc they couldn't find us on their paper lists and struggled to find us on their computer database. After having to consult a manager and them trying to look, it seemed as though we were entered manually. I think this must have been done for everyone in the queue. That said, once we were in the car, we had a great time with no worries. Drop off was really easy and very quick. Everyone was really friendly and helpful, but collection just took a long time and felt really inefficient. Next time I go to Morocco, I would probably use Thrifty again and go for the same car (great value), but would plan in an hour for car collection. I used Thrifty every few weeks when I was working in the USA in 2016 and had no problems at Boston Logan International Airport collection point. Seemed to be a local issue. "

" Auto Europe are my go-to car rental company several times per year and so far my experience has been good, but the connection with Location Auto is far below the expected standard. You should drop them and stick with your usual suppliers. "
" Not only do Location auto not have a presence in the arrivals area with the other car hire companies, they do not even have a booth/counter at the pick-up location, which is in the main car park. There are no signs to direct the customer to this random location and the two idiots with "Location auto" vests couldn't speak English and waved me in the general direction of the car park. Luckily, the first person who I spoke to in the car park happened to be the guy who was processing my hire, standing in the car park, without any sign or indication that he was a Location Auto employee. The Renault Clio he gave me was a disgrace; one rear wing hanging off, umpteen bashes and scrapes and dirty inside. "

" Auto Europe had good reviews and I took out the additional excess insurance for my own piece of mind. I didn't need to use it which was great. I had been to Morocco before but had never hired a car I had experience with the way the Moroccans drive. Driving in Morocco is definitely different than the UK. On pick up there were no issues with any paperwork and the car I collected was similar to what I had ordered. Some other people we were with had hired cars from other companies and did have a few issues so I was happy with service auto Europe had provided. "
" There is a lot of negative reviews of hiring a car in Morocco. As long as you completely check the car and take your time you shouldn't have any issues. When collected the car my advice is to do the following. Check every panel for dints, scratches and scrapes including the alloy wheels, tyres, make sure all the lights and inductors work and there is water for the windscreen( you need it). Check the inside for any issues. Do a video with your smart phone of the cars condition before you leave. Whenever you are checking the car with the attendant make sure any damage is it put on the paperwork. At the end of checking the vehicle I did take the damage report from the attendant and went over it myself to make sure he had marked every bit each damage on the paperwork. There was a lot of it as with almost every other car in Morocco. You will realise why when you get on the road. Before I left the staff told me there was a 250 dihram charge for cleaning if the car was returned dirty. I don't speak French so I don't know if this was on the contract documents or not.the fine print you sign is in French. We got the car cleaned for 30 dihrams before drop off and all was good on drop off. When dropping off the person checked the car for damage and told me everything was ok, he didn't tick the "no damage"box on the paperwork. Make sure this is done before you leave. I had to do it for him. My deposit was then credited within 24 hours back to my credit card which I thought was very efficient. Sometimes it would take longer To get my deposit back when I have hired cars in the UK. My experience with thrifty was good and I definitely would hire a vehicle with them again if I am back in Morocco. "

" I would like to complain about the rent-a-car that was provided to me by "Auto Europe Dollar".

The employees who accepted it, claimed that paint damage had been suffered and despite the photos we provided as proof that all the damage and scratches were present before, were not entirety accepted, and we only managed to "reduce" the claimed damages from three to one. However, I insist that the damage from the rear of the car to be reviewed, because it was originally present as well as others on the same component.

Generally, almost all of the items were inappropriate, and I or the insurer should not have to pay for items already damaged that were most likely already filed as damages.

" It was the worst experience we have had hiring a car and then to be pointed out that we had to pay and additional 250 Dirham to have the car hovered on returning the car was extremely disappointing (as there was hand written small print pointing this out) was appalling. We made every effort to keep our car clean and tidy, but due to the sandy nature of Morocco, it was inevitable that the inside of the car would hold additional sand/dust, particularly with 4 of us driving around for 6 days. Ideally we would like to be reimbursed with this 250 Dirham as it was not part of the official document, only hand written on the form and due to the incredibly long wait we experienced. "
" We would never use Dollar again as they were incredibly slow. We have hired cars in various places over the world and these were by far the slowest. We waiting an hour and 15 mins just to be seen and there were only 3 people in front of us. It took a ridiculously long time and when we got out to the car park our car wasn't there and the people in front of us were then sitting on the pavement waiting for their cars too.

" No problems with Auto Europe, it is their local rental companies at Marrakech that are the problem. "
" It's taken me a long time to think about this review. Our experience has put us off Morocco generally, which is a shame. This Rental Supplier (LocationAuto) is not trustworthy. There's no desk at the airport, they just operate out of the carpark and are difficult to locate. No uniformed staff and the individuals handing out the cars look very 'dodgy'. When we returned the vehicle, they did not want us to photograph the car to prove the condition and the member of staff attempted to steel our phone. My wife was pushed around as she called for help. If it hadn't been for the help of a local, I don't know what would have happened. I eventually got my phone back, although a bit scratched. The police were then involved and after about 2 hours, it was resolved, but I would caution anyone about using Location Auto in Marrakech. "

As for the paperwork!!its laughable!! it took for ever then the shock of the extra insurance excess!! Might as well buy the car and sell it at the end of our holiday! By the time the paperwork was done and cleared my bank account (excess deposit), I was told to find the car in the car park (spot Hertz car game that was!!) tired from our flight, 40 minutes waiting to sort out extra insurance and paperwork, then we headed to find a bashed up old Renault parked somewhere in the middle of 900 or so other cars!! Hertz could of had a rep waiting for us?? NO! "
