Drive Like a Local: 5 Essential Tips
Everything you need to know for a smooth, confident, and safe car rental experience in Tangier.
01. Check Your Documents
Always ensure your driver’s license is valid before traveling. For international travelers, your domestic license is usually accepted in Morocco if it is printed in Latin characters. Don't forget to bring your original physical Passport and a valid credit card for the deposit!
02. Fuel Policy: Same to Same
Gas stations in Morocco are full-service, meaning an attendant will pump the fuel for you. At TCR, we provide the car with a specific level of fuel. Just return it with that exact same amount. It is the fairest way, ensuring you only pay for what you use.
03. Inspect the Vehicle
Transparency is key. Before leaving the port or airport, take a quick continuous video of the car's exterior and interior with your smartphone. It ensures absolute peace of mind for both you and us regarding the vehicle's initial condition.
04. Master the Roundabouts
Tangier is full of roundabouts. The general driving rule in Morocco is that vehicles already inside the roundabout have the right of way. Drive defensively, use your indicators, and remember that a quick flash of headlights from local drivers usually means they are letting you pass.
05. The "Gardien" Parking System
When parking on public streets, you will be guided by a "Gardien de voitures" wearing a high-visibility vest. They help you park safely and watch your car. When leaving, it's standard to tip them 2 to 5 Dirhams for daytime parking. It’s an efficient system that keeps your TCR car secure.
