10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Rabat

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary considerably based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and have a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to manoeuvre and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which can also be suitable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but this might be worthwhile for the added convenience it offers.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking with Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to rent a car.
