Does National require an IDP in Morocco?

The minimum age to rent is typically 21 (18 in Michigan and New York, as required by state law); renters aged 21-24 pay a "Youthful Surcharge" of approximately $25 per day (varies by location, lower in some states such as $5/day in New York) and may be restricted to certain car classes.

A major credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex) in the primary renter's name with sufficient available credit is required; National generally does not accept debit cards, and renters without a ticketed return travel itinerary must provide a hold/deposit typically between $300 and $400 depending on location and vehicle class.

The renter's spouse or domestic partner who meets the same age and licence requirements drives free; other additional authorized drivers cost about $15 per day (typically $5/day in New York), and must be at least 21 with a valid licence. National requires a valid, unexpired full driver's licence held by the renter; for under-25 drivers some locations require the licence to have been held for at least one year, though National does not publish a uniform minimum tenure across all locations.

Vehicles rented in the U.S. or Canada are prohibited from being driven into Mexico; U.S.-Canada cross-border travel is generally permitted but one-way US/Canada drop-offs are limited to participating locations, and rentals originating in certain Mexican cities (e.g. Tijuana, Mexicali, Hermosillo, Monterrey, Saltillo) may cross into the U.S. after purchasing an extension of liability protection (about $10 USD/day).

National states that an International Driving Permit (IDP) is commonly requested in select countries and is generally recommended when travelling abroad; specifically, overseas travelers whose licence uses a non-Roman alphabet may need to present an IDP alongside their home-country licence.

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.
