Car rental for a Marrakech-Essaouira trip? (Morocco)

Hi fellow travelers,

We’ll be in Marrakech for 10 days in February (couple + 12-year-old child). We’d like to spend 3-4 days in Essaouira.

What’s the easiest and most budget-friendly way to make the Marrakech-Essaouira trip and then Essaouira-Marrakech (straight to the airport, I think) a few days later? Taxi? Bus? Or just rent a car? But then what do we do with the car while we’re in Essaouira? Could it be useful for exploring interesting sites outside the city while we’re there?

Thanks in advance for your great tips!

Hi there, The best option is to take the Supratours bus (more convenient) or CTM. You can buy the tickets online. They leave from their respective stations, so take a taxi from the airport to get there.

In Essaouira, there are taxis and buses—just ask around when you arrive.
