Does Alamo require an IDP in Morocco?

Alamo's standard minimum rental age in the US is 21 (18 in Michigan and New York where state law requires it); renters aged 21-24 pay a "young/youthful driver" surcharge that averages about $25 per day but varies by location (for example roughly $13/day in Michigan and $20/day in New York), and under-25 renters may be restricted to certain car classes.

A major credit card in the primary renter's name is required at most locations; debit/check cards bearing a Visa, Mastercard or Discover logo are accepted at airport locations only with a ticketed return travel itinerary (Discover not accepted in Canada), and the name/address on the card and license must match, with a hold placed at pickup that reduces available funds.

Additional authorized drivers typically cost about $15 per day each (around $5/day in New York), and every additional driver must also meet the minimum-age and license requirements; some promotions or contracted/corporate rates waive the fee. Alamo requires each driver to hold a valid, unexpired driver's license; the license must have been issued before the rental and held for the qualifying period, with locations commonly expecting it to have been held for at least 1 year.

Vehicles rented in the US may typically be driven throughout the US and Canada but cannot be taken into Mexico; vehicles rented in Canada may be driven in Canada and the US. Cross-border and one-way rentals must be disclosed and authorized at the counter, and one-way availability and drop fees vary by location.

Alamo states an International Driving Permit cannot be used on its own and the home-country license must always be presented; an IDP is recommended (not required) when the license uses Roman/English letters, but is required when the license is in a non-Roman alphabet (e.g. Russian, Japanese, Arabic), with a typed professional translation as a substitute if no IDP is available.

The autoroute network uses a ticket system - take a card from the machine at entry and pay cash (or card at larger plazas) at the manned exit booth; fares are modest, e.g. Casablanca-Marrakech is roughly 70-90 MAD one way.

City streets have paid bays and meters (1-2 hour limits) plus garages in Marrakech, Casablanca and other cities; informal gardiens in vests also watch parked cars for a few-dirham tip.

Speeding fines start at about 300 MAD, rising to 500 MAD (over 20 km/h) and 700 MAD (over 30 km/h), and seatbelt or phone offences are around 300 MAD; Gendarmerie issue these on the spot and usually expect immediate cash payment, so keep small notes and ask for a receipt.

Call the police (19) in cities or the Gendarmerie Royale (177) on rural roads; for any injury or dispute wait for police and obtain the official report (constat) and its number, as your insurer and rental firm will require it.
