Limited Mileage

Limited mileage caps how far you can drive within the price. You get an allowance — say 200 km a day or a set total for the whole rental — and every kilometre beyond it is billed at a per-kilometre rate.

It can work in your favour for short, local trips where you will never come close to the limit. The headline price is sometimes lower than an unlimited deal, and if you only need the car to nip around a city, the cap is irrelevant.

It works against you the moment your plans stretch. One spontaneous day trip can blow through the allowance, and the excess-kilometre charges add up quickly — turning a cheap-looking rate into the dearer option.

Always check the allowance and the overage rate, then compare honestly against the distance you realistically expect to cover. For a touring holiday across Morocco, unlimited mileage is almost always the safer bet.
