Morocco's largest hub. Plan 40–50 min after landing during peak hours. The A7 motorway connects to Marrakech (2h30) and the A3 to Rabat (45 min).

Watch the deposit

Expect $300–$1,000 blocked depending on the vehicle. Northern agencies often accept a debit card; ask before booking.

Fuel: full-to-full

The fairest policy. Avoid "prepaid tank" which bills a full tank you may not use, especially on short Tangier–Chefchaouen trips.
