Avoid: Green Motion Morocco (deposit/damage scams), United Rent A Car (cleaning-fee scams), unbranded kiosks outside arrivals.

Vehicle pick

5 adults + day-trip luggage → Dacia Duster (5-seat SUV) for Paradise Valley track, OR Dacia Lodgy / Dokker 7-seater for more comfort on Légzira/Taroudant days. Avoid sub-compact "5-seaters" — 3 adults in the back for 2.5h is misery.

Watch out for (recurring scams)

Documents required

UK photocard licence + IDP (1949 convention, £5.50 from PayPoint) + passport. IDP not always asked at counter but required by Moroccan police and for insurance validity in an accident. Get one — non-negotiable.

Talborjt parking & city driving

Street parking is informal. A gardien in hi-vis will "watch" the car — 5-10 MAD (£0.40-0.80) daytime, 20 MAD (£1.60) overnight (cash, expected, not optional). Paid lots at Marina or Founty ~30 MAD/night (£2.40) for secure overnight. Driving in Agadir is fine — wide boulevards, lanes respected. N1 to Taghazout easy. Paradise Valley last 5 km is narrow switchbacks, go slow.

Booking move: email Medloc + get a Sixt/Hertz quote via DiscoverCars as backup. Book the cheaper with free cancellation, hold both until ~72h out, drop one.

Apps to install before flying

SIM / Data

Maroc Telecom tourist SIM at AGA airport ~50 MAD (£4) with 10-20 GB data. Or eSIM (Airalo / Holafly) before flying.

Money

ATMs near our stay (Talborjt)

All within 5-10 min walk of 48 bis Rue des Habous. Use bank ATMs (avoid Euronet — high fees + bad rate). Daily withdrawal limit usually 2,000 MAD (£160) per transaction; you can do multiple.

Tips: Withdraw morning/daytime not late night. Always choose to be charged in MAD (not GBP) at the ATM — UK banks give a better rate than the ATM's "dynamic conversion". Cover the keypad. Take a receipt.
