🚦 Top Driving Tips for Morocco
1. Get a Reliable Rental Car from Kree.ma
Start with the basics — choose a well-maintained, insured vehicle from Kree.ma. Our fleet includes economy cars, SUVs, and luxury vehicles, ideal for Moroccan roads.
2. Always Carry Required Documents
Keep these with you at all times:
- Driver’s license (+ IDP if applicable)
- Passport or national ID
- Vehicle registration papers
- Insurance documents
3. Watch Out for Roundabouts
Roundabouts are common in Moroccan cities like Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakech. Vehicles already in the circle have priority — unless otherwise indicated.
4. Use Google Maps or Waze
Navigation apps work well in most cities and highways. However, in rural areas or deserts, signal may drop — download offline maps.
5. Expect Roadside Police Checks
Moroccan police may stop you for routine checks. Be polite, provide documentation, and you’ll be on your way in no time.
6. Beware of Pedestrians & Animals
Especially in smaller towns and villages, it’s common to see:
- Donkeys, sheep, or goats on the road 🐐
- Children playing near traffic zones 🧒
Always slow down when approaching villages.
7. Avoid Driving at Night
Lighting can be poor on rural roads. Stray animals and trucks without taillights are common hazards. Plan your travel during daylight hours.
8. Parking Tips
- In cities, you’ll often be guided by informal parking attendants (called “guardians”) — tip them a few dirhams.
- Avoid double parking or blocking driveways — it’s strictly enforced in tourist areas.
