Downtown pickup zones

Where to pick up your car in downtown Casablanca

Four downtown zones cover most hotels, offices and train arrivals — delivery options vary by agency and offer.

Maarif — Twin Center & Boulevard Zerktouni

The main downtown rental cluster. Several international brands and local partner agencies have desks near the Twin Center. Paid parking is available, and it's walkable to restaurants and the Morocco Mall shuttle.

Anfa — Boulevard d'Anfa & Racine

Business-district pickups. Convenient if you are staying in this area. Traffic is generally calmer than Maarif and some local agencies offer delivery to your hotel lobby depending on the offer.

Casa-Port train station & city centre

Convenient for travellers arriving from Rabat, Fes, Marrakech or Tangier by train. Some local agencies operate meet-and-greet pickups near Casa-Port; delivery timing depends on the agency.

Sidi Belyout & Corniche Aïn Diab

Beachfront hotels and the Old Medina. Delivery pickup is common here; overnight parking along the Corniche is generally available in guarded lots — check current conditions locally.

Documents required

What to bring to the pickup counter

Missing any of these can lead an agency to decline the rental. Prepare in advance and check the offer for specifics.

Valid driving licence

EU, UK, US, Canadian, Australian, GCC, and many other licences are generally accepted, usually with a minimum holding period. Age conditions and any related charges depend on the agency and are shown on the offer before booking.

Passport or national ID

A passport is generally required for non-Moroccan citizens. For residents, a Moroccan CIN may be accepted. A photograph of both sides is usually required for the rental contract.

Payment card in the driver's name

Accepted payment methods and the deposit amount depend on the partner agency and the offer, and are shown before payment. Check the payment methods indicated on the offer before booking — see our debit-card guide for details.

International driving permit (optional)

Not required if your licence is in Latin script. Recommended for licences in Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese or Japanese scripts.
