One of the first choices when renting in Morocco is gearbox. Here is how automatic and manual compare so you can pick what suits you.
Availability
Manual cars are the most common and widely available across the fleet. Automatics are increasingly easy to find, especially in higher categories and at the airports, but it is worth booking ahead if you specifically want one.
Which is easier here
An automatic is more relaxing in Casablanca and Marrakech city traffic and on the climbs and switchbacks of the Atlas. A manual gives you more control on steep descents and is usually the cheaper option.
