Pick-up and return procedure at FEZ terminal
Collecting your car rental at Fes-Saiss Airport follows a simple, quick procedure. Upon arrival at FEZ terminal, collect your luggage then head to the rental hall, located on the ground floor, left after the arrivals exit. Desks of KARAVEL partner suppliers are grouped there along approximately 50 linear metres.
Present your KARAVEL reservation voucher (paper or digital version), your driving licence valid for at least 1 year, your ID and a bank card in the name of the main driver. The agent processes the registration in 5 to 10 minutes, hands you the contract and keys, then accompanies you to the car park opposite the terminal (2-minute walk).
Inspection and return
Inspect the vehicle thoroughly with the agent: bodywork, tyres, fuel level (usually full), interior. Report any anomalies and photograph them to avoid disputes. The bank card hold (deposit) is taken on site, between 3,000 and 8,000 MAD depending on segment.
On return, park in the same car park. The agent checks the general condition and fuel level ("full-to-full" policy). If everything is in order, they close the contract and release the hold within 7 to 14 working days. To extend your stay, consult our Fes city centre car rental offers.
Insurance, deposit and rental conditions in Fes
All car rental at Fes-Saiss Airport mandatorily includes liability insurance (TP), which covers damage caused to third parties. However, CDW (collision damage waiver) remains optional: it reduces your excess in case of accident or theft, with the residual excess ranging between 5,000 and 10,000 MAD depending on vehicle category (economy, saloon or SUV).
At the pick-up desk, the supplier will block a credit card hold as a deposit, generally between 3,000 and 8,000 MAD for compact segments, and up to 15,000 MAD for premium models or 4×4s. This amount is released within 7 to 15 working days after return of the undamaged vehicle.

- Driving licence valid for at least 1 year; international driving permit recommended for non-residents (EU/US licences accepted).
- Minimum age: 21 years for most vehicles; a young driver surcharge (100–200 MAD/day) often applies between 21 and 24 years. Some SUVs or upmarket saloons require 25 years.
