Does Avis require an IDP in Morocco?

Avis's standard minimum rental age is 25, though it rents to drivers as young as 21 in most US states/provinces (some locations require 25 by local law); renters aged 21-24 pay a young-driver surcharge of roughly $25 per day in the US (about $35/day in Canada).

Avis requires an Avis-honored credit or charge card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.) and places an authorization hold covering the estimated charges plus a security amount; Visa/Mastercard debit cards are accepted at most US locations but are subject to stricter checks, and the card must be in the renter's name.

Additional drivers must be at least 25 (or meet the underage rules) with a valid licence and typically cost about $13 per day, capped near $65 per rental; in California the fee is waived for a spouse, parent, sibling or child of the renter. Avis requires a valid driver's licence held for the entire rental period that is not suspended, expired, revoked, cancelled or surrendered; it does not publish a fixed minimum holding period in the US, though some international locations require the licence to have been held for 1-2 years.

Avis generally permits US-to-Canada travel if the renting location is notified in advance, but driving into Mexico is restricted (typically corporate accounts only, no one-way, and Mexican insurance purchased through Avis from border states); one-way rentals are offered with a drop-off charge that may apply on certain rates.

Avis states that "International Driver's Permits are valid only if presented with the original local license. An International Driver's Permit is not acceptable by itself." Foreign licences are accepted if the issuing country participated in the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic or has a reciprocal agreement with the US; non-Roman-alphabet licences effectively require an IDP, and renters with a foreign licence may need to present a passport.

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.
