Checking your driving licence for car hire in Agadir before you travel helps avoid a problem at collection. Bring your original valid licence, the passport or identity document accepted for your booking, and your reservation details. Check international driving permit requirements for the country that issued your licence. PAFRENT's rental eligibility checks and the rules for driving in Morocco are separate requirements; meeting one does not automatically satisfy the other.
PAFRENT driver requirements
PAFRENT's published terms require every driver to be at least 21 years old and to have held a valid driving licence for at least one year at the start of the rental. The same requirements apply to the additional driver. Check the current terms and have the team confirm any unusual licence or document situation before arranging collection.
- Bring the original licence and check its expiry date against your entire rental period.
- Check that the licence category and any restrictions allow you to drive the vehicle you select.
- Use matching names on the reservation and identity documents. Explain any name change or spelling difference in advance.
- If your licence is being renewed, replaced or exchanged, ask about the document you will actually have on the collection date.
Do you need an international driving permit in Morocco?
An international driving permit, often called an IDP, accompanies your national licence; it does not replace it. Check official advice for your issuing country before departure and confirm the documents PAFRENT needs. Your nationality, the country issuing your licence and the language in which you browse a rental website can be different.
UK licences: GOV.UK specifies a 1968 IDP alongside the national licence. French guidance: France Diplomatie describes acceptance of valid foreign licences for up to one year.
These are country-specific guidance examples, not a universal exemption from carrying an IDP. Follow the official advice that applies to your documents, and check it again before travelling. If you need a permit, arrange it with the authorised issuer before leaving home. A rental company's document check does not replace official driving requirements.
What should you bring to collection?
- Your original valid driving licence and an IDP where required.
- The passport or identity document agreed for your booking.
- Your booking confirmation, confirmed collection point and a way to contact the team.
- The required original documents for every additional driver.
- The agreed payment method for the rental and any selected options.
Keep the documents accessible in your hand luggage rather than in a suitcase that may be delayed. Save the confirmation and contact details so you can open them without mobile data. Photographs can be useful backup records, but do not rely on a phone image as a substitute for the originals requested at collection.
A free second driver still needs document checks
PAFRENT includes a second driver at no extra charge. Tell the team who will drive, provide the requested details and make sure that person meets the same age and licence conditions. Have every authorised driver recorded on the agreement before they drive. Being a passenger or travelling with the main driver does not automatically add someone to the rental contract.
No deposit does not mean no paperwork
PAFRENT does not require a cash security deposit or a security-deposit hold on a bank card. You still need to meet the driver requirements, present the requested documents and pay the agreed rental amount. Confirm the payment arrangement in your booking rather than applying another rental company's deposit-card rules to PAFRENT.
Driver eligibility is also separate from insurance. Read the selected cover, any excess and its exclusions in the rental terms. An insurance option does not remove licence restrictions or authorise an unlisted driver. Use the existing insurance guide for the coverage details instead of assuming that no deposit and no excess mean the same thing.
Confirm unusual situations before your flight
Contact PAFRENT before collection if your licence is temporary, damaged, recently exchanged, written in a script the team may need translated, or subject to a restriction. Explain the issuing country and the document type, your rental dates and the chosen car. Ask for a clear answer about what to bring. Avoid posting photographs of personal documents in public comments.
For airport collection, send the flight and arrival details requested by the team and follow the confirmed meeting instructions. If a document is missing on arrival, contact PAFRENT before making a new arrangement or allowing another person to drive. Any change of driver or vehicle needs to be confirmed.
