Is it worth hiring a car in Tangier?

Not for the city itself. The medina and the kasbah are steep, narrow lanes best done on foot, the seafront boulevard is an easy walk, and petit taxis cover everything else in town cheaply. A parked car in the old centre is more trouble than it's worth, and 308 offers here include delivery, so there's rarely a reason to collect it before you're ready to leave.

Coming on the ferry from Spain: Tanger Ville or Tanger Med

Tangier has two ports, and which one your ferry uses changes the pick-up. Tanger Ville sits right in the city, a short walk from the medina, so a car can usually be handed over at the port itself or at a hotel minutes away. Tanger Med is a separate port well east of the city, about 45 minutes to an hour away by motorway; check whether your offer actually delivers there and what it charges, since not every listing covers it, and a shuttle bus into town followed by a city hand-over can be simpler.

Driving and parking in Tangier

Leave the car outside the medina and the kasbah; both are a maze of steps and lanes a car can't enter anyway. Guarded parking near the Grand Socco, along the port and marina, and on the seafront boulevard is watched by an attendant in a hi-vis vest, who expects a small coin for the service. Hotels along the bay and in the newer parts of town usually have their own parking or a nearby arrangement, so ask when you book.

Day trips from Tangier: Chefchaouen, Asilah and the Rif

Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, are about 30 minutes from the city and an easy half-day out. Asilah, the whitewashed seaside town with its ramparts and murals, is an easy coast trip by motorway. Larache and the Roman ruins of Lixus are a longer coast trip and pair well with Asilah on the same day.

Which car for Tangier and the north

For the coast, the city and the paved runs to Asilah or Cap Spartel, a small car from $22.31 a day is enough. The road up to Chefchaouen is tarmac throughout but twisty, and a compact SUV makes those bends more comfortable. Travelling as a family or a larger group, a 7-seater from $50.19 a day covers Tangier's day trips without splitting into two cars.
