Marrakech car hires from £7/day

A compact sedan will best help you navigate the traffic congestion and tight parking spaces in the city. A car such as the Fiat Panda or Peugeot 208 will provide you with tons of flexibility for changing lanes and will help you get the most of the space available on Marrakesh roads -- without not sacrificing internal space, as there is room for five passengers.

Unless otherwise indicated, the speed limit in urban and residential areas is 40 km/h (24 mph). On rural roads the maximum speed is 100 km/h (62 mph), while on motorways such as the A3, which connects Marrakesh to Casablanca, the speed limit can reach 120 km/h (74 mph). Be mindful of your speedometer as police are known to patrol the highways and will issue you a fine if you are driving too fast.

Since finding a park close to the old town can be an exhausting process, it is recommended that you either leave your car at your accommodation and venture into the city center via public transport, or use a secure parking lot such as the one beneath Gueliz Plaza.
