Casablanca is Morocco's business capital, and driving here usually means bouncing between meetings in Sidi Maarouf, industrial stops in Aïn Sebaâ, and a hotel somewhere near the corniche - all in the same afternoon. It's a spread-out city, not a compact one.
That kind of driving punishes a low sedan. Speed bumps outside the city center, patchy road surfaces in the outer districts, and long stretches of stop-start traffic all favor a vehicle that sits a bit higher off the ground and doesn't feel cramped after three hours behind the wheel.
The Dacia Duster fits that brief: a 5-door SUV with air conditioning and a boot that swallows three suitcases, comfortable for a sales rep carrying sample cases across town or a family loading up for a coastal weekend toward El Jadida or Oualidia.
It's parked with our local fleet in Casablanca itself - no waiting on a delivery from another city, pickup is possible the same day you book. At 330 MAD per day, the diesel engine keeps fuel costs down over the kind of repeat cross-town driving Casablanca demands. Insurance included.
