Why choose an automatic gearbox in Fes
Heavy city traffic, roundabouts at the entrance to every main road, mountain roads up to the Middle Atlas: an automatic takes away an unnecessary mental load in surroundings that are new to you.
Heavy traffic in the Ville Nouvelle
At rush hour, Avenue Hassan II and the boulevards around the train station move at walking pace. Traffic jams are part of daily life in Fes. In an automatic there is no clutch to feather in the queues: you brake, you accelerate, and you keep your attention on the scooters and pedestrians.
Roundabout after roundabout
The approaches to Fes and Morocco’s main roads string roundabouts one after another, and priority is not always respected the way you would expect at home. With no gear to change at every entry, you keep both hands on the wheel and your eye on the vehicles pulling in.
Mountain roads in the Middle Atlas
The N8 to Imouzzer and Ifrane (around 70 km, with Ifrane at almost 1,650 m above sea level) climbs steadily after some thirty kilometres of plain. In an automatic, the gearbox picks the gear through the hairpins and on the descents; you enjoy the cedar forest instead of watching the rev counter.
You drive an automatic at home
If your everyday car is an automatic, going back to a manual in an unfamiliar city adds needless stress: stalling at the lights, hill starts with a car right behind you, horns. Driving is on the right, as in continental Europe, but local habits (horns, overtaking, animals on secondary roads) demand your full attention.
Comfort on long drives
Meknes and Volubilis about an hour away, Ifrane, the gorges and the desert further on: mileage is unlimited across the whole fleet. Over several hours on the road, an automatic tires the driver less, especially in summer and with passengers in the back.
One clear supplement, everything else included
On models offered in both versions, the automatic costs 50 MAD (≈ 5 €) more per day on the Renault Clio 5 2025. Full insurance, delivery, GPS, child seat and additional driver remain included, exactly as for a manual.

Automatic city cars from 280 MAD: Renault Clio 5 2025, Opel Corsa 2025, Peugeot 208 2025
The most popular choice with our European visitors. Compact enough to park in the Ville Nouvelle, frugal on the road to Meknes or Ifrane, they are more than enough for a stay in Fes and the surrounding area. The automatic Clio 5 is our cheapest automatic; the Peugeot 208 and the Opel Corsa complete the range, all 2025 models.
Automatic SUVs from 350 MAD: Dacia Duster 2026, Hyundai Tucson 2026, Cupra Formentor 2026
A high driving position, a generous boot and ground clearance suited to the roads of the Middle Atlas or the desert road. To be completely clear: we do not offer 4x4s. Our SUVs are two-wheel drive and suited to paved roads, in the mountains as in the desert; off-road driving is not permitted. See our SUV rental in Fes page.
Automatic premium cars from 300 MAD: Seat Ibiza FR 2026, Mercedes Classe A 200 AMG, BMW X2 2026, Audi Q3 Sportback 2026, Volkswagen Golf 8.5 2026
All our premium models are automatic, without exception: Seat Ibiza FR, Volkswagen Golf 8.5, Mercedes A 200 AMG, BMW X2 and Audi Q3 Sportback. A popular choice for a business trip, a family event or simply a more comfortable stay. Details on our premium cars in Fes page.
7 seats: manual only
Our 7-seat Dacia Lodgy is only available with a manual gearbox. If an automatic is essential for your group, we can offer a 5-seat SUV or premium model, or two automatic cars delivered to the same place at the same time.
Manual or automatic: what is the price difference?
A worked example based on the Renault Clio 5 2025, our most requested city car, available in both versions.
Over a week, choosing the automatic on the Renault Clio 5 2025 therefore comes to about 35 € more in total, with full insurance, unlimited mileage and delivery included in both cases. The prices below are those of the cheapest month; in summer the daily rate is higher, but the gap between the two gearboxes stays much the same.
| Model (both versions) | Manual from | Automatic from | Difference per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Renault Clio 5 2025 · Economy | 230 MAD ≈ 23 € | 280 MAD ≈ 28 € | +50 MAD ≈ 5 € |
| Opel Corsa 2025 · Economy | 220 MAD ≈ 22 € | 280 MAD ≈ 28 € | +60 MAD ≈ 6 € |
| Peugeot 208 2025 · Economy | 230 MAD ≈ 23 € | 280 MAD ≈ 28 € | +50 MAD ≈ 5 € |
| Dacia Duster 2026 · SUV / Comfort | 300 MAD ≈ 30 € | 350 MAD ≈ 35 € | +50 MAD ≈ 5 € |
The other automatics in the fleet (Hyundai Tucson, Cupra Formentor and the whole premium range) do not exist as manuals: the price shown on their card is the automatic price, with no supplement to add. To compare every category, see our car rental prices in Fes page.

Driving an automatic in Fes and on Morocco’s roads
In Morocco you drive on the right and the rules of the road are very close to those of continental Europe: your valid national driving licence (UK, Irish, EU, US or Canadian) held for more than a year is enough for a tourist rental, with no international permit needed. A few pointers for your first kilometres at the wheel of an automatic:
| Journey from Fes | Distance | Approx. time | Road profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fes-Saïss airport (FEZ) | ~15 km | 20 to 25 min | Urban and suburban road, several roundabouts |
| Meknes and Volubilis | ~65 km | about 1 h | Motorway then national road, flat |
| Imouzzer and Ifrane (N8) | ~70 km | about 1 h 15 | Plain then a steady climb, hairpins, snow possible from December to March |
- In town, drive at 60 km/h maximum unless signed otherwise: speed cameras are numerous, including on the approaches to Fes.
- At roundabouts, give way when the sign tells you to and do not count on vehicles already on the roundabout having priority: it is not always respected.
- In the mountains, let the gearbox do the work. On the descents back to Fes from Ifrane, the automatic’s engine braking limits brake overheating; your agent shows you the gearbox positions when handing over the keys if you wish.
- Stay on paved roads. Off-road driving is not covered and our vehicles are two-wheel drive; dune tracks are done with local operators on site.
- If in doubt or in the event of an incident, call us at any hour on +212 673 92 14 21: assistance in English and French, 24/7.

Frequently asked questions about automatic car rental in Fes
What is the cheapest automatic car to rent in Fes?
The Renault Clio 5 2025 with automatic gearbox, from 280 MAD (≈ 28 €) per day, all inclusive: full insurance, unlimited mileage, free delivery in Fes or at the airport. The exact price depends on the month and is shown day by day on the booking calendar.
Can I have an automatic car delivered directly to Fes-Saïss airport?
Yes. All our automatics can be delivered to Fes-Saïss airport, 24/7, with no airport fee or night surcharge. An agent waits for you at the exit of the arrivals hall and the car is parked in the airport car park. Give us your flight number when you book: we track your arrival. Details on our car rental at Fes airport page.
Should I book an automatic earlier than a manual?
Yes, we recommend it. In Morocco, the manual gearbox is still the norm with most rental companies and automatics are fewer in number. At COSTA CAR, 11 of our 14 models come as automatics, but the automatic city cars (Clio 5, Corsa, 208) go first in summer and during the school holidays. Book as soon as you know your dates: cancellation is free.
Do you have a 7-seater with an automatic gearbox?
No. Our 7-seater, the Dacia Lodgy, is only available with a manual gearbox. For a group that wants an automatic, we offer 5-seat SUVs or premium models (Dacia Duster, Hyundai Tucson, Cupra Formentor, BMW X2, Audi Q3 Sportback), or two automatic cars delivered to the same place. Message us on WhatsApp: we will point you to the right option according to the number of passengers and bags.
I booked a manual: can I switch to an automatic?
Yes, on request and subject to availability. Send us a WhatsApp message with your name and your dates: we switch your booking to the automatic version of the same model, or to another automatic model, and we confirm the new rate before the keys are handed over.
Can the additional driver also drive the automatic?
Yes. The additional driver is free; they present the same documents as the main driver (licence held for more than a year, ID, minimum age 21) and must be named on the contract during the hand-over inspection. See our rental conditions.
