Returning the car at Marrakech train station was impossible to find via GPS. The staff couldn't clearly explain its location and told me to wait, but after an hour, there was still no response. Thankfully, a local driver helping with our desert tour assisted us. We had to go around for over ten kilometers through narrow alleys before finding a return point.
Coming from so far away to Morocco just to waste half a day returning a car affected our desert trip as well!
Absolutely not recommended.
The actual car did not match the one I booked. It was a bait and switch situation. I booked a Nissan Qashqai or at least a car of the same class, but was given a French car instead.
On the last day, we were in a rush, but the tire pressure warning light came on and the brake pads were damaged. We had to spend several hours repairing the car at our own expense, causing us to miss Rabat. Since our flight was very early the next day, we decided to return the car in advance. We communicated with the rental company four to five hours in advance, but when we arrived at the agreed location at Casablanca Airport in the evening, we waited for over an hour and made several phone calls. They kept telling us to wait, and then finally said they weren't coming. We were told to just leave the car and keys in the parking lot. As a result, a few days after returning home, my credit card was charged 400 dollars. Despite numerous communications with the rental company, there was no resolution. This rental experience was truly disgusting. While there are good people in Morocco, it's still hard to avoid scammers. In such places, you must buy full insurance because the cars often have close to 100,000 kilometers. Apart from the annoying traffic police fines, I'm really not sure how many more traps the rental companies have in store.
No office at the airport. Waited three hours to get the car. The car was not full of gas, the condition was very poor, the brakes failed halfway, very dangerous. Customer service attitude was okay but very slow. Staff doesn't speak much English, which is a big problem; had to use translation software to translate English to French, very inconvenient.
Couldn't reach them on the phone when picking up the car, had to ask the airport staff for help. I booked an automatic but was initially given a manual. I told them I couldn't drive a manual, so they made me wait for more than half an hour. When I got the car, it had no fuel, and they just told me there was a gas station 2 kilometers from the airport. The car was a bit dirty! On the second day, a wrench icon lit up on the dashboard. We had no idea what it meant and couldn't reach them by phone, so we had to ask locals for help. Luckily, it was just a maintenance reminder. On the third day, the engine started making noise. For safety, I wanted them to check if there was a branch in the city to help. They said they were too busy and suggested I return to the airport. Again, I had to ask locals for help. But these weren't the real issues! When we were returning the car, I told them at the hotel that we'd be at the airport in an hour and not to delay us as we had a flight to catch. They agreed, but after countless calls, you can imagine the frustration! In the end, we were on the plane and had to borrow a phone from a fellow passenger to call and ask if they were at the parking lot. They said they'd be there in 40 minutes… How did we handle it? We gave the airport police officer a tip of 100 RMB to return the car for us.
The vehicle did not meet the requirements, it was old, rundown, and dirty.
