SUV Rental in Agadir

Agadir is a gateway rather than a destination you drive around once. Within a few hours you reach the Anti-Atlas, the High Atlas foothills and the edge of the Saharan south. An SUV makes those longer days more comfortable.

You sit higher, which helps on winding roads and in busy traffic. The suspension absorbs rough patches and speed bumps better than a city car, and the extra ground clearance gives peace of mind on uneven rural roads.

Our SUVs are front-wheel drive. They are built for paved roads in every condition, not for off-road driving: tracks, beaches and dunes are excluded by the rental contract.

The Dacia Duster is the practical choice: a diesel SUV with a manual gearbox, a large boot and very reasonable running costs. It is popular with surfers, hikers and families of four with plenty of luggage.

The Hyundai Creta is a compact SUV with a petrol engine and an automatic gearbox. Easy to drive in town and comfortable on the open road, it suits couples and families who want an automatic SUV that is simple to park.

The Hyundai Tucson is the more refined option: diesel, automatic gearbox, quieter cabin and more equipment. It suits travellers who plan long motorway stretches, such as Agadir to Marrakech, and want the most space and comfort.

All three seat five adults. The Creta and the Tucson are among our few automatic cars, so book them early, especially for school holidays.

Some of the most rewarding drives from Agadir are inland, and this is where the SUV earns its place:

Your SUV is delivered free at Agadir Al Massira airport or at your hotel in Agadir, cleaned and with a full check of its condition. Unlimited mileage and basic insurance are included, and you pay on delivery with no deposit.

For mountain trips, many customers add the optional full insurance with zero excess. Extras such as a child seat, an additional driver or GPS can be added when you book. If your trip starts or ends elsewhere, we also deliver at Marrakech airport, Essaouira airport and Taghazout, and one-way returns are possible.

Fuel up before the mountains. Stations are frequent on the coast and motorway but spaced out in the Atlas. Fill up in Agadir, Taroudant or Tiznit before heading inland.

Allow more time than the GPS suggests. Mountain roads are slow, with lorries, livestock and villages. Avoid driving passes after dark when possible.

Stay on paved roads. The Duster, Creta and Tucson cope well with poor surfaces, but driving on tracks, beaches or dunes is not permitted and is not covered by insurance. For more advice, read our guide to driving in Morocco, then book your SUV.
