Renting a car at Rabat-Salé airport
Rabat-Salé airport (RBA) lies in Salé, about ten kilometres from central Rabat on the other side of the Bouregreg. Smaller than Casablanca’s airport, it has direct flights from several European cities, mainly in France and Spain, plus domestic routes. Arrivals include families visiting relatives, business travellers bound for the ministries and tourists starting their trip in the capital. Renting a car as soon as you land saves on taxis and lets you head straight to Rabat, Kenitra, Meknes or the coast without changing transport.
Your car when you land
On Cardnd you book a model and choose delivery to Rabat-Salé airport when you reserve. The request goes to verified Rabat agencies; the first to confirm takes the booking and brings the car to the airport at the time you chose. The delivery fee is shown before you pay, and some agencies deliver for free. You pay according to the payment terms shown when you book. Once confirmed, you get a voucher with a QR code and a PIN to show at handover. In summer, when diaspora flights arrive one after another, book early, especially if you are travelling as a family with lots of luggage and need a big boot.
Late-night or early-morning flight
Landing late at night or very early in the morning? Pick a pickup time that allows for landing, passport control and baggage reclaim, with a comfortable margin. The agency sees that time before accepting your request, so only agencies available then will confirm.
Leaving the airport
Leaving the airport, the road crosses Salé and then the Bouregreg into central Rabat, about ten kilometres away. For Casablanca, take the A1 motorway south; for Kenitra, Larache and Tangier, the A5 north. Meknes and Fez are reached on the A2 motorway heading east. If you are going to the beaches of Temara or Skhirat, the ring road avoids the city centre. Motorways are tolled.
What to have ready before you land
Keep your passport or ID card, your driving licence and the bank card in the driver’s name to hand: the agency needs them to hand over the car; the deposit is taken by card imprint or in cash, depending on the agency. Your booking voucher, with its QR code and PIN code, is in “My trips”. When you book, pick a realistic pickup time after landing.
Frequently asked questions
Is Rabat-Salé airport convenient for Meknes and Fez?
Yes. From the airport, the A2 motorway leads to Meknes (about 140 km from Rabat) and on to Fez. Landing at Rabat-Salé and collecting the car there lets you start an imperial-cities tour without going through Casablanca, then drive back to return the car in Rabat.
Is delivery to Rabat-Salé airport charged?
It depends on the agency. Choose delivery and give the airport when you book: the delivery fee is shown before you pay, and some agencies deliver for free.
Should I fly into Rabat or Casablanca?
Casablanca has more flights, but Mohammed V airport is about an hour and a half’s drive from Rabat. If your trip starts with the capital, the north or the imperial cities, Rabat-Salé saves time and spares you Casablanca’s traffic. Either way, you can ask for the car to be delivered to the airport on Cardnd.
How does payment work?
According to the payment terms shown when you book: they say what is pre-authorised online and what you pay at the agency. The deposit is taken by card imprint or in cash, depending on the agency.
Which documents do I need to rent a car in Rabat?
An ID card or passport, a valid driving licence and a bank card in the driver’s name. The licence must be at least 2 years old. The minimum age is usually 21, depending on the model and the agency; the deposit is set by the agency and shown on each car.
