Hi All,

I want to hire a car in Fes and drive to Marrakesh (leave the car there), rather than take the bus or train, anyone have any suggestions on the best hire companies? Is it a ncie scenic road from Fes to Marrakesh or is it a silly idea?

Thanks

Not a silly idea at all. I have done it. But check Avis, Hertz and other companies for rated. Car rental in Morocco is very expensive, but the flexibility it gives is great. I took the long way--Fes/Merzouga/Dades Gorge/Zagora/Marrakech. Very scenic. But be careful of the crazy drivers and never drive in the evening or at night.

My Plan is 4 nights in Fes and Four nights in Marrakech, so probbaly don't have time to take a scenic route I just thought it may be nicer to drive between the two than catch the train

The small companies rarely allow you to drop off in another city - Marocfan is right, go for the large companies (it's safer anyway, as they tend to have better insurance).

Ok, so basically my questions is, is it silly to hire the car for the day to drive from Fes to Marrakesh in one day, as I do not have time to do a whole road trip.
