I was due to pick up a car in Marrakech…
I was due to pick up a car in Marrakech the following morning when a problem came up (not a catastrophic one fortunately, but one that could disrupt our schedule). After repeatedly failing to get in touch with the Airport office Sabrina managed to contact them and got everything sorted on my behalf and emailed me the response in no time at all. As I said, it was hardly a life-threatening situation, but it was most reassuring to have somebody who spoke the language at my side as it were. So Sabrina, our heartfelt thanks from my wife and myself to you before we start our two-week drive around Morocco tomorrow.

No bullshit
Good website. All information available. Competitive price. The local rental company Driving Madeira, was quick and efficient both during delivery and return. No attempts at upselling. Would love to come again.
