Car rental in Marrakech?

I want to rent a car in Marrakech to get me to from the Medina to the golfclubs Palmeria, Amelkis and Royal. Where to rent a good car cheap? Is it worth it or should I choose to travel by taxi?

The best thing for you to do is to rent a petit taxi... it is very inexpensive and once you get to Morocco (ESPECIALLY Marrekech) you will find you will not want to deal with the traffic.Additionally, they drive like crazy and the car rental rates are extremely expensive.Good luck to you (the golf courses are great [check the link below]).

Unless you're a profesional race car driver, I wouldn't drive in Marrakech! I don't know where Amelkis or Royal is but the Palmerie is less than 5 miles away. Many hotels offer shuttle services too so ask at your hotel.

I have rented from Hertz and driven all over Morocco. Watch out for traffic lights, stop signs and the police at the city entrances and exits checking on your speed. Do not exceed the speed limit because they will get you and you are expected to hand over your cash. Budget is actually cheaper than Hertz. Best of luck to you!
