Yes, I had thought of trying to hire and man and van but as you say, I would have to trust that person with all my belongings. However, I would prefer to drive myself and that way can do even more shopping! I have recently found a company in Spain that will authorise their vehicles to leave the country.
Next question, can anyone tell me how far it is from the port in Tangiers to Rabat by car and also what tolls I am likely to have to pay on the motorway?
