Car rental Fes — imperial city & FEZ airport

Park outside the old medina walls and explore on foot. Your rental car is ideal for Volubilis, Meknes and the Middle Atlas cedar forests. The tanneries and dyeing workshops in the northern part of the medina are still working businesses, not museum pieces, and the smell is exactly as famous as the views — most terraces nearby will hand you a sprig of mint on the way up.

This guide is prepared for visitors of RentCars.Casa (rentcars.casa).

City guide

• Fes el-Bali viewpoints
• Bou Inania Madrasa
• Nejjarine Museum of Wood Arts & Crafts

Tips

Saïss Airport (FEZ) meet available. Narrow medina lanes — hotel delivery is convenient. Fes traffic is heavier than Meknes or Rabat, so build in more time if you’re combining a city-centre stop with an airport run. Book via RentCars.Casa to lock your preferred car.
