Which Rental Car for Taghazout
The P1014 is smooth asphalt the whole way — any car handles it. But two practical factors nudge the choice:
- Board bag or bulky luggage? A Dacia Stepway or Duster gives you an extra 20 cm of boot depth for a longboard bag or paddle.
- Solo or couple, no gear? The Dacia Sandero at €23/day is honestly perfect. Air-con, fits a suitcase and a hand luggage, sips fuel.
- Family of 4-5? A Dacia Jogger (7 seats) or Peugeot 208 automatic is easier for the coastal parking.
