Driving Rules in Morocco

• Carry your driving license, passport/ID and insurance documents at all times. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is often required if your driving license is not in French or Arabic and is strongly recommended for visitors.
• Drive on the right-hand side of the road.
• Follow speed limits: typically 60 km/h in urban areas, 100 km/h on rural roads and 120 km/h on highways (autoroutes), unless otherwise signposted.
• Expect police checkpoints on major roads; always stop when signaled and present your documents.
• Maintain safe following distance, stay in your lane and use indicators when changing lanes or turning.
• Obey all traffic signals; running red lights and stop signs is strictly enforced and fined.
• At roundabouts, vehicles already circulating generally have priority unless otherwise indicated by signage.
• The legal alcohol limit is 0.2 g/l blood alcohol (very low tolerance) and penalties for driving under the influence are severe.
• Traffic police and speed cameras are widely used to enforce speed limits, seatbelt use and mobile phone restrictions.
• Use of mobile phone while driving is only permitted with a hands-free system.
• All passengers must wear seat belts where available.
• Children must use appropriate child restraint systems; young children should be secured in approved car seats.
• Move aside immediately for emergency vehicles with flashing lights and sirens.
• Parking is only allowed in designated areas; paid street parking is common in cities and illegal parking can result in fines, booting or towing.
• Aggressive driving, unsafe overtaking (especially on two-lane highways) and driving on road shoulders are penalized.
• Road conditions can vary significantly outside major cities so extra caution is advised on rural and mountain roads.

• Learn the traffic rules. Familiarize yourself with Moroccan driving regulations beforehand to avoid fines. Always keep your driver’s license and vehicle documents with you in case the traffic police request them.
• Inspect the car. Check the vehicle thoroughly inside and out when you pick it up. Take photos or videos and make sure any scratches or damage are recorded in the handover report.
• Be mindful of the heat. High temperatures can cause mobile phones, tablets and food to overheat or spoil. Avoid leaving electronics or perishables inside the car.
• Monitor fuel level. Keep track on your fuel level especially on rural roads in Morocco where gas stations can be scarce. If you’re driving in mountainous regions it’s safer to rent a car with a larger fuel tank.
• Prepare for French Communication. While English is spoken in many tourist areas, French is more commonly used at gas stations, during interactions with police and when handling official documents. Learning a few basic French phrases can help you communicate more effectively and avoid misunderstandings.
• Road numbering. Pay attention to road numbers when planning your route. Four-digit roads are often regional and may be gravel while three-digit roads can also be rough. Rental cars are usually limited to paved roads so it’s safest to stick to one- or two-digit highways.
• Choose the right insurance. Make sure your rental includes sufficient coverage especially for collision and theft.
• Pick the right vehicle. For extended mountain trips, it’s best to use an SUV or a vehicle with at least a 1.6L engine. Even on paved roads, you’ll face steep ascents and long winding stretches, making a compact hatchback less comfortable for the journey.
