Question 5

What kind of rental car should I get for Rabat?

Accepted Answer

Rabat knows how to entertain. You could spend a week or more in this place and hardly scratch the surface. If you want to take in as much as possible in this dynamic metropolis, you'll need a rental car. Keep in mind that driving in big cities often comes with tight streets and even tighter parking spots. But don't worry — a compact or an economy car will make this much easier to navigate. If you want to head out of the city and take a look at the sandy shores that Rabat is well known for, you'll want something with more power. A full-size or mid-size SUV will make that longer drive comfortable.

Should I get a luxury rental car in Rabat?

For some, owning a luxury vehicle is a little (or a lot!) out of reach. But renting your dream car is far easier than you think! Imagine the thrill of rolling into town in a swanky sports car, even if it's only for a few days. Or maybe all you're after is a trusty set of wheels to bring you safely from point A to point B. Flashy or frugal? Whatever you're looking for, there's a rental car to suit your style in Rabat.
