Car Hire in Fes

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.

I mean "rates" not "rated."

How long did it take you to do Fes/Merzouga/Dades Gorge/Zagora/Marrakech?

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).

ignore mustafa200; he is a tout.

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.

Yes. And MUCH more expensive.

Thanks for the help!

It would also be silly to just visit Fes and Marrakech. Morocco is a beautiful country and the most beauty is in the countryside. You would miss a lot by just staying in cities. I would shorten my time in the city, 3 days in each is enough for the beginning, and put in some nature.

There's nothing in the bled!

Different strokes for different folks.....
