Great Experience with Discover Cars
Great Experience with Discover Cars I booked my car and insurance online and was charged a 14,000 MAD deposit. At return, they refunded the full amount with no extra charges. The process was smooth and professional. Tip: If you want to avoid the deposit, you can buy insurance at pickup for 200 MAD/day — then no deposit is needed. Highly recommend Discover Cars for a hassle-free rental!

Finding a rental car was cheaper than ones on Expedia. Plus they added on a 2nd driver for free and provided free cancellation which was a plus.
