Marrakesh Travel Forum

I shall be arriving late - after 8pm FROM THE uk. How much should I pay for the taxi to the city? Please advise if anyone has this experience.

A ride with a so called 'petit taxi' from the airport to the Medina should be about 80 dirham.

happy travels

If there's anyway to pre-book, I'd suggest doing that. Although we arrived later than you will, we had a bad experience - got ripped off AND dumped in the wrong place, had to try and find our hotel - getting harassed by a group of guys and then an obnoxious drunk along the way. Was so sorry I didn't arrange for hotel pickup!! Definintely one of my worst travel experiences.

I paid about 200 dirhams but it was in the very early hours of the morning, you should do alright for about a 100 dirhams but again if you find some other travellers going the same way perhaps you can share a taxi with someone and split the cost.

Hi there - for maximum 3 people make sure you get only a Petit Taxi (not a Grand Taxi). The taxi fares are regulated and there are now signs up at the airport to advise of fares so tourists don't get ripped off. You should pay no more than 100 dirhams including bags. Get your dirhams cash at the airport on arrival. Make sure you agree the price with the taxi driver and give him a small tip if satisfied.

Spot on Rachel, That would be my advice too, a petite taxi and a grand taxi actually charge the same price to the city from the airport (80 to 100Dh) The difference is that a petite taxi is restricted to within the city limits and can only take 3 passengers, where as a grand taxi could squeeze in 6 passengers & take you further afield. 8pm is not late in Morocco.
You will find Taxi's outside the main terminal..

& the fare isn't DH 100 per head. A ton to get the thing rolling, afterthat negociate.
