Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Marrakech 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 Marrakech.
Before leaving the parking garage in Marrakech, 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.

When you leave your car at the parking lot, do not be surprised if you find some new dents and scratches on return. Parking workers often move cars manually to make enough space for another client, so damage is simply inevitable in such situations.
Taxi drivers are among most frequent violators of the traffic regulations. It is not difficult to distinguish them. Taxi drivers often ride rather old and small cars colored in bright red.
