You found a good daily rate in Agadir, then the add-ons appear: GPS, extra driver, baby seat, Wi-Fi, “service fees,” and sometimes confusing bundles. The problem isn’t paying for extras. The problem is paying for extras you don’t need, or agreeing to an add-on that isn’t actually guaranteed (wrong seat type, weak hotspot, or a second driver who isn’t covered).
This guide gives you a clear, tourist-friendly cost list for Agadir in 2025, what’s worth it, what’s usually not, and the exact lines to confirm before pickup (especially at Agadir–Al Massira Airport (AGA)).

1) Typical add-on prices in Agadir
These are typical ranges you’ll see in Agadir. Prices vary by season, car category, and supplier rules. Always confirm whether the fee is per day or per rental and whether there’s a cap (maximum charge).
| Add-on | Typical cost in Agadir (MAD) | How it’s usually billed | When it’s worth it |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPS device | 30–80 MAD/day | Daily (sometimes capped) | Only if you don’t have reliable phone navigation |
| Extra driver | 25–70 MAD/day | Daily (sometimes capped) | Almost always worth it if someone else may drive |
| Baby seat | 30–100 MAD/day | Daily (sometimes capped) | Worth it if you can’t bring your own |
| Wi-Fi hotspot | 50–150 MAD/day | Daily or per rental | Worth it for groups needing constant data access |
Reality check: Some providers bundle these into “packages.” Packages can be good, if the contract clearly lists each included item at 0 MAD (or included).
2) GPS: when it’s worth paying (and when it’s not)
When GPS is worth it
- You’ll drive in areas with weak mobile signal (some rural routes, mountain roads)
- You don’t want to rely on your phone battery
- You have multiple stops and prefer a dedicated screen
- You’re sharing the car and want navigation always available
When GPS is usually NOT worth it
For most Agadir trips, phone navigation wins because:
- You already use Google Maps / Apple Maps
- Offline maps exist
- A GPS rental unit can be outdated or slower to route
Smart alternative: Download offline maps before landing, bring a car charger, and you may skip the GPS fee entirely.
GPS booking tip (prevents disappointment)
Ask two questions:
- “Is it a standalone GPS device or phone-based?”
- “Is it guaranteed, or ‘subject to availability’?”
If it’s “subject to availability,” treat it as not guaranteed.
3) Extra driver: the fee that protects you most
The extra driver fee can feel annoying, until you realize what it does: it keeps insurance and contract coverage valid if someone else drives.
Typical cost
25–70 MAD/day, sometimes with a cap.
When it’s worth it (most cases)
- You’re doing day trips and want to share driving
- You might get tired after flights
- You’ll drive at night or in unfamiliar areas
- Your companion might need to drive in an emergency
The risk of skipping it
If an unlisted driver is behind the wheel during an incident, coverage can be limited or disputed. That’s why consumer rights guidance often emphasizes making sure extra drivers are declared and included in the agreement (even if the fee is zero). The European Consumer Centres Network explains how rental “extras” (including additional drivers) are typically treated and why terms matter.Car Rental Rights
Contract must-have: The extra driver’s name should appear on the contract, not just “verbally approved.”
4) Baby seat: type, safety, and what to confirm
Baby seats are one of the most common add-ons in Agadir, and also one of the most mismatched.
Typical cost
30–100 MAD/day (sometimes capped). Infant seats sometimes cost more.
The 3 seat types you must specify
Don’t say “baby seat.” Say the type:
- Rear-facing infant seat
- Forward-facing child seat
- Booster seat
If you’re unsure which type you need, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has clear guidance on car seat types by age/size and safe use basics. Car Seats and Booster Seats
What to confirm before pickup
- Seat type + child weight/age range
- Quantity (one seat vs two seats)
- Installation (do they install it, or do you?)
- Condition (clean, working buckle, not damaged)
Practical tip in Agadir
If you land late at AGA, confirm the baby seat is ready at pickup. Don’t assume it will “arrive later.”
5) Wi-Fi / hotspot: how it’s priced and what “works” really means
Wi-Fi add-ons in rentals usually mean a mobile hotspot device (or sometimes a router-like unit). It can be great,if you know what you’re paying for.
Typical cost
50–150 MAD/day, billed daily or occasionally as a single rental fee.
What “Wi-Fi included” should mean (but doesn’t always)
Before paying, confirm:
- Is data included? (or do you pay top-ups?)
- Is it unlimited or capped?
- How many devices can connect?
- Battery life (hotspots can die fast on a long day)
- Coverage (coastal areas are usually fine; remote areas vary)
When Wi-Fi is worth it
- A group needs constant internet (multiple phones)
- You’ll work on the road (calls, emails, navigation)
- You want one shared connection rather than multiple roaming plans
When to skip it
- You already have roaming or a local eSIM/SIM
- You only need maps (offline maps solve this)
- Your hotel/riad covers Wi-Fi most of the time
Best habit: Treat hotspot Wi-Fi as a convenience add-on, not a guaranteed “everywhere internet.”
6) Add-on traps: the 6 common surprises tourists miss
These are the issues that cause the most “I didn’t expect that” moments at Agadir pickup.
- Daily fees without a cap
Ask: “Is there a maximum charge?” (especially for 10+ day rentals) - “Subject to availability” add-ons
If it’s not guaranteed, don’t plan your trip around it. - Wrong baby seat type
“Baby seat” is not specific enough, confirm rear-facing/forward/booster. - Extra driver not added to contract
Even if you pay, verify the name appears in writing. - Wi-Fi without data clarity
Unlimited vs capped changes everything. Get the rule in writing. - Bundled packages that hide what you’re paying for
Bundles are fine, just make sure each included add-on is listed clearly.
7) Quick FAQ
How much is an extra driver in Agadir?
Typically 25–70 MAD per day, sometimes capped for longer rentals.
Is GPS worth paying for in Agadir?
Usually only if you don’t have reliable phone navigation, need offline guidance, or prefer a dedicated device.
Are baby seats safe to rent?
They can be, but confirm the correct type and check condition and proper fit/installation before driving.
Is rental Wi-Fi the best option for internet?
Sometimes, especially for groups. But confirm data limits, coverage expectations, and device battery life.
What’s the best way to avoid add-on surprises?
Ask for all add-ons to be listed on the contract with exact pricing (daily vs per rental) and any caps.
