Does Avis require an IDP in Morocco?
Avis in Morocco: the policy in plain terms
Requires an IDP where the national licence is not in the Roman alphabet or where local law requires it. Long-established global brand operating in 165+ countries.
An IDP is recommended and frequently required to rent a car in Morocco.
In Morocco specifically, morocco legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Avis will ask for it at the counter. Requested at airport and city desks.
Avis runs a global network; at its Morocco desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Morocco drives on the right, uses the MAD, and sets a minimum driving age of 18, so an IDP is the document that removes any doubt at the counter.
What to bring to the Avis counter in Morocco
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
- Your International Driving Permit in the 1968 Vienna format.
- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
