Before you book: check that renting suits your trip
Three things to confirm before you start:
- Your trip goes through Marrakech. The router is handed over and collected only in Marrakech (hotel, riad, Airbnb or wherever you’re staying). You can then take it anywhere Maroc Telecom 4G reaches, but if you arrive and leave through Casablanca, Fes or Agadir without passing through Marrakech, the rental will not work for you.
- How many routers. One router connects up to 10 devices. A family moving around together needs only one; a group that often splits up during the day may want two, since WiFi only reaches a few metres.
- How long. The minimum rental is 2 days.
Step 1: choose your dates
On the booking page, enter the date you want to receive the router and the date you will return it. The price depends on the number of days: €4.90 per day per router, unlimited data included, with a 2-day minimum.
Step 2: your details and your address in Marrakech
Enter your name, email address and phone number, then where you want the router handed over in Marrakech: the name and address of your hotel, riad, Airbnb or wherever you’re staying. Use an email address you check while travelling: your confirmation is sent by email (there is no SMS).
To plan your first hours before you reach your hotel, our article on getting online when you land in Morocco compares the options for your first hours.
Step 3: extras and terms
Two optional extras are available:
- Power bank: €1.90 per day. Useful for full days out, since the router lasts up to 8 hours.
- Car phone holder: €0.90 per day. Handy for a road trip starting from Marrakech.
You then accept the terms and conditions. Take a few minutes to read them before you confirm.
Payment and deposit
Payment is made online by card, in euros, through Stripe. You are not asked to pay in dirhams or in cash.
After payment, a €50 deposit per router is registered as a hold on your card through Swikly. It is not a charge: the amount is not taken, only reserved, and it is released when the router comes back. You then receive your booking confirmation by email.
Receiving the router
On the agreed date, the router is handed to you in person, free of charge, at the address you gave in Marrakech: your hotel, riad, Airbnb or wherever you’re staying. Use the hand-over to switch it on, check that the lights come on and connect a first phone with the network name and password supplied.
There is nothing to install or change on your phone: the Maroc Telecom SIM is inside the router, and yours stays in your phone with your number. Everyday tips (switching on, charging, what to do if the connection drops) are in our WiFi router user guide.
During your stay
The router works wherever Maroc Telecom 4G reaches, in Marrakech as well as on excursions and road trips. It is 4G only (no 5G). Maroc Telecom’s typical download speed was 27.5 Mbps in Q1 2026 according to Opensignal (April 2026 report), enough for video calls and HD streaming. Some desert and mountain areas still have weak coverage.
If you have a question, customer service answers 7 days a week, 9 am to 6 pm, in English and French.
Returning the router and getting the deposit released
At the end of the rental, the router is collected free of charge in Marrakech, from your hotel, riad, Airbnb or wherever you’re staying, before you leave. Hand it back with its extras. There is no shop and no drop box: the hand-over is in person. Once the router is back, the €50 hold is released.
What it costs: a few examples
- 2-day weekend, 1 router: €9.80.
- One week, 1 router: €34.30.
- One week, 1 router plus a power bank: €34.30 + €13.30 = €47.60.
- Two weeks, 1 router: €68.60.
- One week, 2 routers for a group that splits up: €68.60.
Delivery and pickup in Marrakech are included. The €50 deposit per router is not a cost: it is never charged.
What is not possible
- Receiving or returning the router anywhere other than Marrakech (no delivery to Casablanca, Fes or Agadir, no shop, no drop box).
- Paying in dirhams or in cash: payment is in euros, by card.
- Using 5G or a network other than Maroc Telecom.
- Renting for less than 2 days.
Renting a WiFi router: your questions
Where can I receive the WiFi router?
In Marrakech only: at your hotel, riad, Airbnb or wherever you’re staying. Delivery and pickup are free.
Can you deliver the router to Casablanca?
No. Rent A Phone delivers and collects only in Marrakech. Once you have it, the router can travel with you anywhere Maroc Telecom 4G reaches.
How much is the deposit?
€50 per router. It is a hold registered on your card through Swikly after payment: it is not charged and is released when the router is returned.
How do I pay?
Online, by card, in euros, through Stripe. Your booking confirmation arrives by email.
What is the minimum rental period?
2 days. The price is €4.90 per day per router with unlimited data, for example €34.30 for 7 days.
Do I need a SIM card or any settings on my phone?
No. The Maroc Telecom SIM card is already in the router. You connect to its WiFi with the network name and password supplied, and keep your own SIM card.
