1. Why delivery location matters in Marrakech
1.1 Arrival logistics
After a long flight, the last thing most travelers want is to negotiate local taxis or transfers. Having your rental car waiting for you means your trip starts the moment you exit the terminal.
1.2 City traffic & access
Marrakech has two distinct zones: the modern city and the Medina. Streets in the old city can be narrow or pedestrian-only. Choosing between airport or hotel delivery depends on whether you plan to explore straight away or relax first.
1.3 Cost and convenience
MarHire keeps things simple — both airport and city deliveries are handled transparently, often with no additional charge. You choose what’s most practical, and MarHire adapts to your plan.
1.4 Return considerations
If you’re catching an early flight or finishing your trip outside Marrakech, an airport return can save you time. For a relaxed city stay, hotel pickup might be more convenient.
