Gateway to Morocco, Tanger attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Car rental in Tanger is often the best choice to explore this dynamic city and its beautiful region. Here's everything to know before booking.
Three pick-up points in Tanger
Tanger Ibn Battouta Airport (TNG)
15 km southwest of downtown, the smoothest option for international travelers. Most agencies deliver directly at the parking.
Tanger Med Port
40 km away, receives ferries from Algeciras, Tarifa and Gibraltar. Some agencies deliver at port exit. Ask for confirmation before booking.
Downtown Tanger
Hotel delivery is usually free within a 10-15 km radius. Practical after a few days strolling the medina.

Driving in Tanger: what to know
- Dense traffic downtown,
- Paid parking (~2-3 MAD/h),

Classic pitfalls to avoid
