Morocco Atlantic Coast Van Road Trip: 10-day itinerary

A loop from Agadir along the Moroccan Atlantic

The Moroccan Atlantic coast is easy to explore in a van rented locally. Looping from Agadir, the road runs up the ocean for about 920 km: the waves of Taghazout, the Essaouira medina, the Oualidia lagoon and the Portuguese city of El Jadida, then back via Marrakech. An affordable road trip, warm from spring onwards.

The real budget for 10 days

Allow around €930 to €2,020 for 10 days, for two. This budget covers three items only: rental, diesel and nights (one campsite night each evening). Motorway tolls, food and sightseeing are extra. Prices checked in late October 2026, converted at €1 = 10.99 dirhams (Wise, 27/10/2026).

Van rental: from 790 dirhams per day at BabaCamper, in Agadir and Marrakech (BabaCamper); 900 to 950 dirhams per night in low season at Van Maroc, near Casablanca, fully comprehensive insurance included (Van Maroc); €100 to €150 per day for a motorhome (Great RV Trip). None of these companies shows a high-season rate: we take €150 per day as the top of the range. That is €719 to €1,500 for 10 days.
Diesel: about 15.61 dirhams per litre since 16 October 2026 (Le Brief), 15.90 to 16.15 dirhams at several Casablanca stations, with a rise of more than 50 centimes announced for 1 November (Belpresse, 30/10/2026). We therefore count 15.61 to 16.70 dirhams per litre. The loop is about 920 km (924 km calculated on the OpenStreetMap road map). At 9 to 11 litres per 100 km (our estimate for a van): €118 to €154.
Nights: 50 to 150 dirhams a night at a basic campsite, 150 to 400 dirhams with hot showers and electricity (Morocco Travel Base, 27/08/2026); for example 120 to 140 dirhams for a van and two people at the Taghazout campsite (Campings.ma, rates published in 2025). From 10 nights at 100 dirhams to 10 nights at 400 dirhams: €91 to €364.
Total: €928 to €2,018, i.e. around €930 to €2,020.

A loop, so no one-way fee. You pick up and return the van in Agadir, where there are rental companies: no fee for dropping the van in another city, which is rare and expensive in Morocco (Great RV Trip). If your flight lands in Marrakech, BabaCamper rents there too: do the same loop starting from Marrakech.

Where to sleep in your van

At campsites: there are campsites near every stop on the coast, often guarded, with showers. This is what our budget counts.
Outside campsites: sleeping in a van outside a campsite is not banned by any written rule outside towns and protected areas, but it is a local tolerance, not a codified right (Morocco Travel Base, 27/08/2026). Ask permission where you can, avoid private land and military zones, and do not settle alone on an isolated beach without checking it in daylight first. A car park guardian usually asks for 10 to 30 dirhams a night (Great RV Trip).
