Car rental at Laayoune airport: how to book with RentalMe

RentalMe is a Moroccan marketplace, not a rental agency: it owns no vehicles. You compare cars from professional rental agencies and book online, even before you arrive.

Here is how booking works:

  1. Go to RentalMe and search for Laayoune.
  2. Enter your pick-up and return dates and times, keeping your flight schedule in mind.
  3. Compare the available cars and each agency's conditions.
  4. Complete the booking and note the pick-up arrangements agreed with the agency.

Budget: rental prices generally range from 100 DH to 700 DH per day, depending on the vehicle category (city car, sedan, SUV, 4×4), the season and the agency.

Availability can change with your dates. Book ahead, especially in busy periods, to get more choice.

RentalMe, an UnzipTech product

RentalMe is a product developed by UnzipTech: a Moroccan marketplace that connects travelers with professional car, motorbike and van rental agencies. You can access it from rentalme.ma, rentalme.net, rentalme.fr, rentalme.de, rentalme.it and rentalme.nl.

Pick-up and return at Laayoune airport

When booking, agree clearly with the agency on the pick-up place and time, and check its opening hours, especially if your flight lands late or leaves early. Keep your booking confirmation and the agency's contact details on your phone.

Documents and payment: requirements differ from one agency to another. Before confirming, ask which documents are needed and how the deposit is handled, and bring your driving licence and an ID card or passport.

Inspect the car with the agent before you set off:

  • Walk around the vehicle: bodywork, tyres and interior
  • Photograph any existing marks
  • Note the fuel level and mileage
  • Check the air conditioning
  • Sign the condition report once everything is in order

When returning, bring the vehicle back to the agreed place, airport or town office, at the agreed time. If you want to drop the car off elsewhere, ask when booking: it depends on the agency.

Choosing the right car for Laayoune and the Sahara

Laayoune is a gateway to the Moroccan Sahara. Between the city streets, the Atlantic coast and the desert roads, the vehicle you pick matters for your comfort.

Solo or couple, in townCity car or compactEconomical, easy to park
Family, long drivesSedan or MPVRoom for passengers and luggage
Trips towards the desertSUV or 4×4More comfort on southern roads

Air conditioning, boot space and overall comfort are worth considering for long drives in southern Morocco. If you plan to leave paved roads, ask the agency first whether the contract allows it.

Read the conditions before you confirm

Conditions vary from agency to agency. Read them carefully, especially:

  • Fuel policy: what level to return the car with.
  • Mileage: what is included, which matters for long drives.
  • Insurance and deposit: what the price covers and what the agency requires.
  • Cancellation: the terms of the offer you choose.
  • Duration and extras: for a stay of several weeks, a second driver or a different return location, ask what the agency offers.

Don't stop at the lowest price: compare pick-up and return conditions too.

Practical tips for driving around Laayoune

  • Plan your routes: find parking near your accommodation and the fuel stations on your way in advance. Fill up before heading to remote areas.
  • Drive carefully: wind and sand on the road call for attention; slow down if visibility drops.
  • Bring water and sun protection for trips towards the desert.
  • Always carry your licence, ID and the agency's contact details.
