Looking for car rental in Selouane? Selouane sits right next to Nador in north-eastern Morocco.

Car rental in Selouane with RentalMe: how it works
RentalMe is a Moroccan marketplace that connects renters with professional rental agencies. RentalMe is not a rental agency itself and does not own vehicles: the vehicle, the rental agreement and the service always come from the agency.
Here is how to go about it:
- Go to RentalMe and search for "Selouane" or "Nador".
- Enter your pick-up and return dates.
- Compare the available vehicles and the conditions of each offer.
- Choose the vehicle that fits your trip, the number of passengers and your luggage, and complete your booking.
- Collect the vehicle as agreed with the rental agency.
Budget: as a guide, rental prices range from 100 to 700 dirhams (DH) per day, depending on the vehicle category, the season, the agency and the actual offer. This is not a guaranteed price: the current price is shown in the offer itself.
Collecting your car in Selouane, Nador or at the airport
Where you collect the car depends on the offer and is agreed with the rental agency. Renters usually consider these options:
- Selouane itself: convenient if you are staying with family in Selouane and do not want to go into the city first.
- Nador: search Nador too if you want more choice.
- Nador airport: ideal if you want to drive off straight after landing. Read our detailed guide to car rental at Nador airport. If you arrive very late or very early, ask in advance how the handover works at that time.
- Nador port: arriving by ferry? See our guide to car rental at Nador port.
- Different return location: want to return the car somewhere other than where you collected it? Ask the agency in advance and get any fees confirmed in writing.
Planning to take the car to another country, for example by ferry? Do not assume it is allowed. Ask in advance and only do it if the agency permits it in writing.
Which car should you choose around Selouane and Nador?
The right type of vehicle depends on the number of passengers, your luggage, the journeys you plan and your budget. Which categories are available depends on the dates and the agency.
| Category | Suitable for | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Small city car | Couples, solo travellers, short trips between Selouane and Nador | Easy to handle and park |
| Saloon / family car | Family visits, more luggage, longer journeys | More comfort and boot space |
| SUV | Trips around the region, for example towards Zaio or Driouch | Higher driving position and more space |
| Van / 7-9 seats | Large families, groups, lots of luggage | Room for everyone and everything |
- Family visits with lots of luggage: if you come back in summer, you often travel with suitcases and gifts. Choose a family car or van rather than the smallest category.
- Extras: need a child seat, an automatic or an additional driver? Ask when booking whether this is possible and under what conditions.

Conditions to check before you book
Rental conditions vary from one agency to another. Always read the details of each offer and have every point confirmed in the written quote or contract:
- Documents and driver: which documents are required, which age and licence conditions apply, and can you add a second driver?
- Deposit and payment: is a deposit required, how much, with which payment method, and when is it released?
- Insurance: what is included, what is excluded and how high is the excess?
- Mileage: unlimited or with a daily limit?
- Fuel: how should you return the tank?
- Extra costs: are there fees for delivery, a different return location or extra options?
- Cancellation: what are the cancellation terms?
Tip: demand in the region can be high during the summer holidays and around public holidays. Searching early usually gives you more choice.
