Child seats are legally required for children under 10 years old. The alcohol limit for drivers is 0.00%. Headlights should be used in tunnels and during poor visibility. Be aware of speed cameras and traffic police.

Parking

In Nador, parking in the city center is often paid, with attendants (gardiens) collecting small fees (a few dirhams per hour or for a duration). Free parking can be found on residential streets further from the center, but always check signs. Supermarkets and larger establishments usually offer their own free parking. Always ensure your car is parked securely.

Fuel stations

Fuel (petrol and diesel) is readily available at numerous stations in Nador and along major routes. Prices are regulated by the government and are generally consistent across brands, usually paid in Moroccan Dirham (MAD) cash, though some larger stations accept cards. As of 2026, expect prices to be approximately 12-14 MAD per liter for petrol and slightly less for diesel.

Which car to choose

For city driving and coastal trips around Nador, an economy or compact car with manual transmission is usually sufficient and easier to navigate narrow streets. If you plan to venture into the Rif Mountains or tackle more rural, unpaved roads, an SUV or a car with higher ground clearance would be a more comfortable and practical choice. Automatic cars are less common but available.
