There a few different classes of rental cars in Morocco. The main difference between the two types is whether they have air conditioning or not. We recommend renting a car with air conditioning whenever you are travelling as temperatures are usually quite high wherever you travel in the country.

CDW: Collision Damage Waiver

It is mandatory when you rent a car in Morocco that you buy Collision Damage Insurance. You can purchase insurance from your car rental company or from other sources which will pay the rental company for their costs in repairing (damage) or replacing (theft) the rental vehicle, plus for their loss for being without a car.

If you do have an accident, the CDW insurer will typically require you to advise them within 48 hours. Make sure you take the telephone numbers of your insurer with you. You will also need to call the car rental company and give them details (location, time, events) of the incident. It is important to keep a note of all the people you talk to at both the insurance company and rental agency, with names and dates.
