Moroccan roads are in surprisingly good condition. The motorway network connecting Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakech, and Agadir is modern, well-signposted in Arabic and French, and tolled at reasonable rates. Outside the motorways, national roads (routes nationales) are paved and well-maintained, though mountain roads in the Atlas and Rif require careful driving.
Fuel prices in Morocco are moderate by European standards.
- Diesel (gasoil) is widely available and cheaper than petrol (essence)
- Speed limits are 120 km/h on motorways, 100 km/h on national roads, and 40–60 km/h in urban areas. Radar checks are common
— respect the limits. Police checkpoints are routine, especially at city entrances. Slow down, smile, have your documents ready. Most checks are over in 30 seconds
-- City driving in Marrakech and Fez medinas can be intense. Park outside the old city walls and walk in. Night driving outside cities is best avoided due to unlit roads and occasional livestock on rural routes.
- City breaks in Casablanca or Marrakech A small economy car like a Dacia Sandero or Hyundai i10 is perfect. Easy to park, cheap on fuel.
- Coastal road trips (Casablanca → Essaouira → Agadir) — A mid-size sedan or compact SUV gives comfort over long distances
- Atlas Mountains and desert trips — A 4x4 like a Dacia Duster, Toyota Hilux, or Land Cruiser is recommended, especially if you're going past Merzouga or M'Hamid.
- Family travel Minivans (Dacia Lodgy, Peugeot Partner) seat up to 7 passengers with luggage room.
