Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Youssef. I run AgadirDrive.

Born and raised in Agadir. Started this in 2019 with three cars and a simple promise: be the kind of car rental I wished existed for tourists in my own city.

You'll meet me when you arrive — I personally hand off most cars at the airport.

The story

It started with a World Cup trip.

In 2018, I flew to Russia for the FIFA World Cup. Just another football fan, watching matches in cities I'd never seen, getting around with — surprisingly — a rental car.

What struck me wasn't the football. It was how easy renting was. Clear pricing on the receipt. No deposit on my card. No three-page contract in a language I didn't read. The agent met me with my keys and a smile, then drove off in his own car. I had four days, an open road, and zero anxiety.

I'd never had that experience as a tourist anywhere else.

I came home thinking the same thing every day on my commute to my office job: tourists flying into Agadir deserve exactly this. The same simplicity. The same trust. The same human handover at arrivals.

A year later, in 2019, I left finance and started AgadirDrive with three cars — a Hyundai, a Dacia, and a small workhorse for cheaper rentals. I delivered every car personally. I answered every WhatsApp myself. I still do.

The fleet is ten now. Over five hundred travelers have rented from us. The promise hasn't changed.

What I promise

Three things, always.

No deposit

No card hold, no security freeze, no €1,000 sitting on hold for two weeks. Pay only what's on your contract.

No hidden fees

The price you see is the price you pay. Insurance, unlimited mileage, free delivery, taxes — all included. Always.

Real human help

When you message AgadirDrive, you reach me. Not a call center. Not a bot. WhatsApp replies in under an hour.

A Quote

"I'm not trying to be the biggest car rental in Agadir. I'm trying to be the one tourists tell their friends about when they get home."
