THINGS YOU WILL NEED TO HIRE A CAR
----------------------------------------------------------
You will usually have to be over 21 years old to hire a car on the Canary Islands. Some companies will expect you top have a clean license.

Morrocco has a closed currency system meaning that Morrocan Dirhams cannot be brought into the country or taken out. There are Bureau de Changes located throughout the city and they accept most major currencies including pounds and euros.
