Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Casablanca are: VW Caravelle, VW Kombi 8 Seater, VW Touran, Citroen C8 Tdi, Citroen Jumper 8 seater and Peugeot Partner.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Morocco is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.
Please note, that in order to rent in Morocco a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Casablanca.
Before leaving the parking garage in Casablanca, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Experienced drivers recommend monitoring the behavior of local drivers carefully. If they slow down without any apparent reason, then, most likely, there is a “police ambush” ahead.
When traveling on suburban roads, you shouldn’t leave your car in the first place available. Even if you park it on the side of a deserted road, it is likely that the car will be taken away by a tow truck within a short time. Such actions are not an attempt to impose order on the road. That is just one of the many ways to fine inexperienced tourists. It is better to keep an eye on your car.
