What it costs

Expect 250 to 1500 DH per day for a SUV vehicle. Rates depend on season, duration and city: a week negotiates better than a day, and August in Agadir costs more than February in Fès.

The SUV: raised comfort, and the limit of what it can actually do

An SUV gives you three things that matter in Morocco: a higher seating position, which genuinely helps on winding mountain roads; more ground clearance than a saloon, which absorbs a rough approach road or a speed table without drama; and a boot that takes bulky luggage easily. On the Middle Atlas roads or the Rif, it is the most comfortable category for the money.

What it is not is an off-road vehicle. The great majority of SUVs on this platform are two-wheel drive, which is perfectly adequate for every surfaced road in the country and for well-maintained tracks, and which is not adequate for sand, deep ruts or a genuine piste. Confusing the two is the most common and most expensive mistake visitors make here.

So the question to ask yourself is simple: are you going to leave the tarmac for more than a few hundred metres? If the answer is no, an SUV is a comfort choice and a good one. If the answer is yes, look at the four-wheel-drive category, and read what it says about when it is genuinely necessary.
