Automatic car rental in Agadir: book early
Most rental cars in Morocco have a manual gearbox, and automatic cars are a minority in every fleet, including ours. That is why automatic car rental in Agadir is the category that sells out first, especially around Easter, summer and the end-of-year holidays.
Booking early is the only reliable way to secure one. Cancellation is free up to 48 hours before pickup, so there is little risk in reserving as soon as your flights are confirmed.
If an automatic is not available for your dates, our team will tell you clearly on WhatsApp rather than swap you to a manual at the airport.
Who benefits most from an automatic
Many visitors, particularly from North America and increasingly from Europe, hold a licence on an automatic car or simply have not driven a manual in years. Morocco is not the place to relearn: roundabouts, scooters, pedestrians and donkey carts all compete for attention.
An automatic is also the most relaxed option for drivers who plan long days at the wheel, for those travelling with young children who need attention, and for anyone who finds stop-and-go traffic tiring. Your licence must still be valid for the vehicle category.
Our automatic models
We offer three automatic cars, covering different needs:
- Peugeot 208: a petrol compact with five seats. Light, modern and easy to park, it suits couples and small families based in Agadir or Taghazout.
- Hyundai Creta: a petrol compact SUV with five seats and a higher driving position. Easy to handle in town and comfortable on longer trips, it sits between the 208 and the Tucson.
- Hyundai Tucson: a diesel SUV with five seats, more luggage space and a higher driving position. It is the better choice for long drives and mountain roads.
Where an automatic is most useful around Agadir
In Agadir itself, traffic around the centre, Talborjt and the Souk El Had can be dense at peak hours. An automatic takes the effort out of constant stopping and starting.
On the coast road to Taghazout, traffic through Aourir and Tamraght slows to a crawl in summer, with many pedestrians crossing. Again, no clutch makes a real difference.
In the Atlas, steep hairpin bends on the way to Imouzzer or over the passes mean frequent gear changes on a manual. With an automatic you can focus on the road. And on the motorway from Agadir to Marrakech, the Creta and the Tucson are particularly comfortable.
Included, and good to know
Automatic rentals come with the same terms as every Miles Cars booking: free delivery at Agadir Al Massira airport or your hotel, unlimited mileage, basic insurance, no deposit and payment on delivery. Optional full insurance with zero excess, a child seat, an additional driver and GPS can be added.
Fuel: the Peugeot 208 and Hyundai Creta run on petrol (essence, sans plomb) and the Tucson on diesel (gasoil). Check the label on the fuel flap before filling up, and return the car with the same level as at delivery.
Parking: in an automatic, always use P and the handbrake on Agadir's sloping streets. Our agent will show you the controls at handover. See also car rental at Agadir airport, the documents to rent a car in Morocco, or book your automatic car now.

Frequently asked questions
Why are automatic rental cars harder to find in Agadir?+
Manual gearboxes are the norm in Morocco, so automatic cars are fewer in rental fleets. We recommend booking as early as possible, especially in high season.
Which automatic cars do you offer?+
The Peugeot 208, a petrol compact, the Hyundai Creta, a petrol compact SUV, and the Hyundai Tucson, a diesel SUV. All three have five seats.
Is there a deposit for automatic cars?+
No. Like all our cars, automatic rentals have no deposit and are paid on delivery.
Do you have an automatic car for a large group?+
All our cars seat five people maximum. For the most space in an automatic, choose the Hyundai Tucson. For a bigger group, our airport transfer or private driver service is the better option.
Can the automatic car be delivered outside Agadir?+
Yes. Besides Agadir airport and hotels, we deliver at Marrakech Menara airport, Essaouira Mogador airport and Taghazout, subject to availability.
