Car hire without deposit in Morocco: cities, prices and conditions

Car hire without a deposit does exist in Morocco, but it remains the exception: each agency decides, car by car. Figures from the Loccor catalogue on 15 October 2026 show what share of cars rent this way, in which cities and at what price. The last step is spotting them before you book.

Can you rent a car without a deposit in Morocco?

Yes. On 15 October 2026, about one in thirteen cars in the Loccor catalogue could be rented without a deposit. For these cars, no amount is held on your card at pick-up.

A no-deposit car rental is not a Loccor promotion: each partner agency sets its own deposit, and some choose not to ask for one on part of their fleet. That is why the number of no-deposit cars changes from week to week.

Car hire without deposit: which cities?

On 15 October 2026, the no-deposit cars were found, from most to fewest, in Marrakech, Casablanca, Fez, Nador, Tangier and Ouarzazate.

Marrakech therefore has the widest choice of car hire without deposit. Casablanca, Tangier and Fez have fewer: if skipping the deposit really matters to you, book early.

Which cars need no deposit, and at what price?

Mostly small economy cars: more than half. Then come SUVs, followed by compact cars and minibuses. About one in three is an automatic.

Cheap car hire without a deposit is possible: the cheapest daily rates were under 300 dirhams on 15 October 2026. As with other cars, the daily price often drops from 7, 15 or 30 days.

How to spot a no-deposit car before booking

The label “No deposit” appears on the car card in the search results and on the car page. For every other car, the exact deposit is shown in the same place, before payment, so you always know what you are committing to.

There is no dedicated search filter yet: browse the results for your city and look for the label on each card.

No deposit does not mean no contract

Booking works as for any other car: you pay a 20% advance on the rental plus the service fee online, by card or PayPal, then pay the balance to the agency at pick-up.

The insurance excess still applies if you cause damage: when the agency has entered it, the amount is shown on the car page. Film the car at pick-up, as for any rental.

If the car you like requires a deposit

Among the cars with a set deposit, the amount ranges from 3,000 to 50,000 dirhams, with a median of 7,000 dirhams on 15 October 2026. Premium SUVs and luxury cars carry the highest deposits.

Loccor never takes the deposit. The agency collects it at the counter in the form it chooses, often a hold on a bank card, and returns it when you bring the car back. Our guide to the deposit and credit card explains how to avoid a refusal at the counter.
