Planning a beach stay in Oued Laou? Learn where to pick up a rental car around Tetouan, which category to choose and what to confirm with the agency. With checklists and FAQ.
Oued Laou is a small coastal town on Morocco's Mediterranean shore, south-east of Tetouan, known for its wide beaches and relaxed atmosphere. If you are planning a holiday in this part of northern Morocco, car rental for Oued Laou gives you the freedom to get around without relying on transport timetables and to combine the stay with Tetouan, Martil or Chefchaouen. Most travellers pick up the car in Tetouan, at Tetouan airport or in Martil, and drive to Oued Laou from there.
RentalMe is a Moroccan marketplace that connects renters with professional rental agencies. It is not an agency and does not own the vehicles: on RentalMe you compare the agencies' offers in one place. If you are still planning your stay in the area, also read our guide to car rental in Tetouan.

Rather than looking for a vehicle in the village itself, most travellers rent in a nearby town and drive to the coast. The usual pick-up options are:
If an agency offers to deliver the car in Oued Laou or to let you return it elsewhere, confirm it in writing before booking, together with any delivery or out-of-hours fees. These conditions depend on each agency.
The right category depends on how many of you are travelling, your luggage and your itinerary.

If you are not used to a manual gearbox, look for an offer with an automatic and check the vehicle description. Use of the car on unpaved tracks is set by each agency's contract, so confirm it in the written offer before planning a detour.
Before you book, read the agency's written offer and clarify each of these points:
The road linking Tetouan with Oued Laou follows the coast and has winding sections. A few practical tips:
Checking the car carefully at pick-up and return avoids misunderstandings with the agency.
At pick-up:

When returning the car, refuel according to the agreed policy, remove your belongings and arrive with time to spare for the joint inspection. Keep the signed return document and receipts until your deposit has been refunded.
On RentalMe you choose the pick-up location, for example Tetouan, enter your dates and review the agencies' offers. For each offer, look beyond the daily price: vehicle type, gearbox, fuel policy, mileage, cover, deposit, extras and cancellation policy. In high season it is worth starting to compare early.
As a rough guide, rental usually falls between 100 and 700 dirhams (DH) per day, depending on the vehicle category, season, agency and actual offer. This is not a quote: always check the price of the offer you choose. Your budget should also include fuel, parking and any extras.
