Car rental in the Palmeraie

Finding the right villa

North-east of the city, the Palmeraie spreads over a vast area of small roads and tracks. Villas rarely have a visible number, and two neighbouring estates can share the same approximate address. For the delivery to go smoothly, send the exact GPS location of your accommodation on WhatsApp, or the pin provided by your host. Add a simple landmark: gate colour, name written on the wall. If a guard opens the access, let them know we are coming.

Driving out of the Palmeraie

The inner roads are narrow, sometimes unmarked, with speed bumps you notice late. Camels from tourist rides and quad bikes also mix with the traffic. Getting to the centre takes time at rush hour: for a dinner in town, leave early. At night, lighting is poor on some stretches, so drive slowly the first evenings while you learn the route.

A vehicle that suits the villa

A villa is often shared between several families or friends. In that case, a minivan 9 places or another model from the vans and minibuses category avoids multiplying cars for group outings. For a stay for two in more exclusive surroundings, the SUVs of the majestic cars range, such as the Range Rover Sport, fit the spirit of the place well.

The Palmeraie already faces north-east, the direction of the Ouzoud waterfalls. The trip, about 150 km and 2 h 30 to 3 h, avoids a good part of the crossing of Marrakech. Our advice for this day is gathered in the article the Ouzoud waterfalls from Marrakech.
